The popular Soda frameset has undergone a major revamp this year - 650B wheels, a longer front end and slacker head angle for more stability, higher main pivot for better pedalling and square bump absorption and 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 manoeuvrable, adjustable, and loves to fly. Set it up in the short chainstay and short travel for the most playful 650B bike on the market, or put it in the long chainstay and long travel settings for big air stability and blasting high speed tracks.
The Air version of the Soda features the brand new X-Fusion Metric single crown fork with 180mm of travel. Paired with a Monarch Plus rear shock, this bike is an ideal option for anyone looking for a bike to handle the biggest hits that will still be light and efficient on the uphills.

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.
Always wear a helmet when riding. It will not make you deathproof, but will increase your chances to avoid serious injury if you crash (and you WILL crash). A broken leg can be fixed. A broken brain cannot ! Even if you see some of our riders without a helmet, it's only because they are complete idiots !
