NS Soda 2 2012
Availability: Out of stock
Quick Overview
he one-bike solution for gravity orientated riders.
Depending on build and setup, it is at home on dirt jumps, bike parks, dh-runs and can also be pedalled uphill quite efficiently.
Adjustable chainstays (417mm - 432mm) in conjunction with adjustable travel (152mm - 177mm) allows for dramatic changes of the bike’s character.
Exceptionally nimble and manoeuvrable in short travel / short chainstay mode (note: chainstays are VERY short in this position, much shorter than most bikes on the market).
Stable at high speeds in long travel and long chainstays (note: the bike has a more traditional feel in this option with standard length chainstays).
Designed to work with coil shocks or air shocks with standard sag settings (around 30%).
