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 the tough and reliable frame with a concentric BB pivot system. The bike can be run in single speed mode or can 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 2015 Soda Slope comes in a stunning new finish and features the brand new 55 CR Slope fork that ideally matches the philosophy of the bike.
