The Volume Jason Watts Smoko frame is a proper modern street setup, but it does not go in the hyper-twitchy direction where the front end reacts nervously to every little movement. It keeps that calmer, more stable character that matches Jason Watts’ riding style, while adding updated geometry and much more aggressive street compatibility.
The fully heat-treated chromoly construction and multi-butted tubing help reduce weight without making the frame feel paper thin underneath you. The longer rear end gives manuals a more stable balance point and keeps the bike predictable at higher speed or during longer ledge lines. The thick laser-cut dropouts feature built-in chain tensioners, making rear wheel alignment more precise while handling heavy peg abuse better.
The classic wishbone chainstay and externally butted seat tube do more than just add retro Volume vibe. They also strengthen the rear section of the frame structurally. Gyro-ready head tube, modern street geometry and an extremely solid construction packed into a frame that does not try to feel sterile or overdesigned.
