NS BIKES SODA

Overview

Bike info

Unlike typical Enduro racing bikes, the Soda is shorter, more agile, and runs on smaller 27.5” wheels. With 180mm travel, it’ll handle the rough, yet its true calling isn’t rock gardens - it’s airtime.

And the best part of it? It’s a bike built for good times, wherever you take it. Hit your local trails, shred bike parks or mess around on the streets. This is the bike that will put a smile on your face no matter where your playground is.

Since we released the Soda in 2014, it earned a near-legendary status, being one of the few bikes purpose built to fly, be easy to throw around, and versatile at the same time. In the world of heavy, long travel freeride bikes of that period, it really was quite special.

Now, we’re back to the roots.

The new Soda brings back all the fun of the original, with 12 more years of experience packed in. From its geometry to its suspension kinematics, every detail of this bike is tailored for maximum fun and playfulness on jumps, whether you’re in bikepark or your favorite local spot.

180mm travel front&rear

Link-driven single pivot suspension design

Kinematics designed for big air

Tough and light aluminium frame

For this frame, we decided on link-driven single pivot. Why? It is simple, easy to maintain, and has the best feel for jumping. Short chainstay and low BB drop adds to that - Soda feels like a dirt jump bike with big air capabilities.

And the rest of the build? We’ve spec’d it with parts that can take heavy hits and keep going for years. Deore drivetrain isn’t about being light. It’s about getting you to the top of the jump line. And it will. The RockShox Vivid shock and Domain fork will smooth out the chatter and have your back on the heaviest landings.
