P 3

TOP SHELF. Top shelf materials, a tried-and-true geometry, and testing on every terrain imaginable give the P. Series boundary-busting performance that'll test your courage and help you top the rest. Almost ten years ago, when we first started making the P. Series, it was a little bit of an experiment, and we weren't quite sure where it was headed. We just knew we needed a rock-solid rig that could handle everything from dirt jumping to urban assault and freeriding to skate part sessions. As the sport's evolved, so has the P., and today it features one of the most refined and advanced frames--built from either A1™ alloy or 100% Cr-Mo steel--and a parts pick that's tough enough for any terrain.
