SODA SLOPE

A radical new-school slopestyle and dirt bike that can go where hardtails are just not enough. The heart of the bike is our new frame with custom formed tubes, big sealed bearings and tasty CNC features throughout. The concentric BB pivot system allows for a single speed setup for jumps but the bike can also be used with a derailleur for freeriding. We applied the same geometry concept that we use in our hardtails so anyone who likes the feel of our Metropolis bikes or hardtail frames will feel at home on the Soda Slope.

It is exceptionally nimble and manoeuvrable with one of the shortest chain stays we have ever seen on production full suspension bikes. The Soda Slope was designed to feel just like a proper dirt jump bike that has a safety valve for big hits and high speed runs.

The frame of the Soda Slope has undergone major revisions resulting in weight savings of approximately 200g as well as a some optical and functional improvements. For 2014 it will be fitted with the Manitou Circus Expert fork which is a perfect match for this frame.
