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 longish 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 adjust the chainstay length. A modified chainstay allows fitting even some double cranks with "plus size" 27.5 x 2.8" wide tires without needing to invest in Boost parts. Additionally the Juice is available in a belt-drive ready version. - Tange Prestige heat-treated butted CrMo steel; butted CrMo rear end - Geometry is optimized for 100mm travel 29" forks and will handle 120mm forks great, too - Disc brakes only (ISO tabs) - Standard or Belt-Drive compatible versions available (split for installing belt is on the seatstay.) - IRD Broski Sliding Dropouts allows geared and single-speed builds with easy wheel removal – These currently come ready for 142 x 12mm Thru-Axle hubs.
