This flat black 2013 Foes Racing Hydro had a lot of onlookers stopping in their tracks. Taking its name from its hydroformed tubes, the 8.25'' travel bike receives an updated down tube that also gets the hydroforming treatment (i>the '12 model used a round tube/i>). The bike's head angle sits at 64 degrees but Foes offers shorter pushrods that can slacken the bike to 63 degrees for steep terrain, or riders can also fit an angle adjusting headset to make further tweaks. Like all of Brent Foes' bikes, the Hydro is manufactured in his California facility.br>br>MSRP for the frame is $2599 USD with a FOX RC4 shock, although riders can spec Cane Creek's Double Barrel for an additional $200. Foes Racing also offers the Hydro with their platform equipped Curnett XTD shock for $3100 USD.
