SODA EVO

After several years of serving as our basic workhorse, the popular Soda frameset has undergone a major revamp. Now it's compatible with 650B wheels, has a longer front end and slacker head angle for more stability. The main pivot has been raised for better pedalling and square bump absorption and the frame now has more travel (adjustable from 160 or 180mm). The frame has now evolved into a pure freeride / bike park bike which still keeps the traits that everyone loved in the older Soda's. That means it's still super tough, manoeuvrable, adjustable, and loves to fly.

The frame comes with adjustable chain stay length and adjustable travel to allow riders to change of the bike’s character significantly. This bike is exceptionally nimble and manoeuvrable in short travel and short chain stay mode (note: chain stays are VERY short in this position, much shorter than most bikes on the market), and still stable at high speeds in long travel with long chain stays. The frame is also very torsionally stiff - not only can it handle all rotational tricks but it also feels great in fast corners where you can often feel other frames flexing.

In the rear end you will find a 4-bar linkage that gives several advantages:
- lateral stiffness of the rear end of the bike
- minimised side loads on the shock, eliminating excessive shock wear and friction
- an optimised shock rate curve.

* the adjusted seat tube angle is around 2.5° slacker than the actual angle due to specific seat tube shape and it’s offset position; the adjusted seat tube angle show the equivalent for a traditional frame

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.
