STAY TRUE!

SODA AIR

ENDURO / FREERIDE / BIKE PARK

If you want one bike to ride everything, but above all value manoeuvrability and a compact, playful feel then the Soda should be your choice. With super short chain stays it just loves to be thrown around and you will immediately feel the difference compared to other “normal” bikes. Works best for big air, bike parks and DH, but still can climb anything. Big bearings, rigid tubes and burly CNC parts make it exceptionally durable. And because both travel and chain stay length are adjustable, it has huge tuning potential.

 

The Soda Air has air-sprung suspension making it the best choice for weight conscious riders. The frame has adjustable travel and chainstay length, so no matter what you want to do there will be a setting that is perfect for the application.

 

The 2013 bike has receivied great reviews and rider feedback, and now it's even better for 2014.
