The bike came out around 21lb and feels fairly light but also solidly planted to the ground. The frame itself can max out with a standard road double 53/39 with a 48.5mm chainline or a max 52/39/30 touring triple and a 45mm chainline.With a quality chromoly steel frame with a heat-treated Tange Prestige front triangle and a matching flat-crown, lugged Tange Infinity fork, the Wolverine is a mix of durability and that comfortable steel ride quality everyone is talking about. This is the frame you want for long days in the saddle and the most demanding commutes. I expect it to be a little more responsive.

It is a lot more nimble than the Wolverine. The lugged fork even adds both double eyelets for a standard pannier rack and mini rack mounting points. Endurance Road bike with 7 sizes.

It can float you over chewed up asphalt better than most bikes in this category.

We designed it to fit fatter tires, but its geometry makes it handle like a road bike rather than CX or gravel bike.

(48/50mm rake for the 48 and 52cm size) We do make a robust matching straight blade carbon fork for this frame, but you can run our lugged CX Disc Fork or Straight Blade CX fork. We cover the shiny new things, with in-depth interviews and detailed stories about how the bicycles and components work, plus reviews to see if they live up to the hype.

This bike goes the simplest 1x route, but since it is sold as a frameset, it is really up to your imagination. In this time-lapse video, I build up a custom Soma Fog Cutter.

The first one above is Soma’s new Fog Cutter. It can float you over chewed up asphalt better than most bikes in this category.

Find your ideal bike using bike-on-bike geometry comparisons with diagrams, powerful search tools, and category analysis. having ridden an ES a whole one time.

It is not as quick handling as a racing bike, but it is not as slow as a touring bike. It ticks all the boxes of my ideal bike: geometry, steel, discs and wide tire clearance.

Soma Smoothie Crmo Road Fork 43mm 700C 1-1/8" Black. Never rode a Mr Pink, but looking at it's geo, and listening to those who have one. Wish Soma would update the juice or release a new 29/27.5+ with progressive geometry and 30.9 seat tube w/ gates compatibility. ©2019 BikeBoardMedia, Inc.

Those often add a lot of weight while still being called carbonAl steer tube, typically 200g more than all carbon.Yeah, it’s “carbon/aluminum”, which basically means 90% aluminum with some carbon blades.At 775g, I think I’d rather it just come with a painted-to-match steel fork.One thing that’s always driven me bonkers about Soma is their insistence on separating the frame and fork.

It even comes in my size! Sometime it takes looking around the streets of Berlin to get a closer look at a bike that we really had only seen as a prototype from a US-based company. Ouvre la Galerie photos. It's well designed and much lighter than similar CrMo steel frames from brands like Surly or All-City.
Or a third party CX fork.
