[RETIRED. Replaced by the Riff model in 2018]

The B-Side is our hardtail frame for 27.5"/650b wheels. This 4th generation B-Side is more versatile than ever. Snazzy Tange/IRD Sliding Dropouts allow you to go single-speed or geared. A modified chainstay allows fiting even some double cranks with "plus size" 2.8" wide tires without needing to invest in Boost parts. We even offer a belt-drive ready version.
