Bradford would give away no information on the bike, not even a name, but was happy to allow it to be photographed. Based on the course, what other top riders were riding, and matching up with the front fork, the bike appears to be a shorter travel version of the TrailFox model. Perfect for the short and steep, but turn oriented stages in Hood River.
