SODA 2

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 2 sits on coil springs and is built using a careful selection of components and offers amazing quality at a very competitive price. 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 frame of the Soda has undergone major revisions resulting in considerable weight savings, geometry updates and some optical and functional improvements.

note on sizing: for jump-focused riders we recommend the M size for riders up to 180cm, and the L size for riders up to 190cm. However if you wish to adjust the the seat height for optimum pedalling, we recommended the M size for riders up to 177cm and the L size for riders up to 185cm. This will however require the use of a longer seatpost than the original one.
