Juice(29er Trail Hardtail) (2018-23) [RETIRED]

[NEWER MODEL AVAILABLE] If we have to use the category buzzwords the industry keeps inventing, the Juice is a "downcountry" or "trail" bike. We describe it as a fun bike that is very comfortable on single track, flowy trails and general backwood exploring. Its medium length wheelbase also makes it a stable platform for bikepacking.

The latest version features tough IRD Broski Sliding Dropouts that allow you to go single-speed or geared or even run hub gears and alter ride characteristics slightly by adjusting the chainstay length. Fits up to 27.5 x 2.8" wide tires without needing to invest in Boost parts. Hasn't abandoned front derailleur compatibility.

Another unusual option: the Juice is available in a belt-drive ready version.
