The original inspiration for the Wolverine was “monster cross”, but it is seriously so much more. Its geometry is stable enough for off road touring, but sporty enough for all-around adventure and gravel riding. With its sliding dropouts, you can run single-speed, derailleur gearing or hub gearing (Rohloff, etc). With a split seatstay, it is compatible with the Gates Carbon Belt Drive. 2023 brings our version 4.1 B-Type that adopts flat mount brakes on both frame and fork. Version 4.0 which uses the IS brake mount will be available most of 2023. Flat mounts have become the primary standard for road brakes, but IS mounts are still more convenient for builds running flat bars, MTB drivetrains, or larger disc rotors - Geometry stable enough for off road touring and adventuring, but nimble enough for cross (monster cross that is) - 135mm dropouts, can be upgraded to 142mm 12mm TA with different inserts - IRD Broski sliding dropouts let you run gears or a single speed set up with better durability and less wheel slippage - Tange Prestige heat-treated CrMo tubes for the front triangle, butted CrMo rear end - Internal anti-rust coating protects against rust - Braze-ons for rear rack and fenders (disc brake-compatible racks only) - Clearance for 700x45c tires with fenders - Three sets of water bottle bosses - 34mm ID headtube (1-1/8") - Matching thru-axle fork sold separately - SF3427
