It's designed for off-road touring, including dirt and gravel roads, double track, and single track. It's built to be sturdy, simple, and very capable. As with their other frames it's double butted chromoly steel. The fork is triple butted for reduced weight and extra strength. The seatstays come together in a cool mono-stay wishbone and compliment the segmented fork. The frameset is covered in bosses for easily mounting any racks, water-bottles, gear cages, and even fenders. It's happily set up in bikepacking fashion or as a traditional rack and bag tourer!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Piolet handles similarly to a XC mountain bike, but slightly more in the touring direction. Feels natural with drop bars or flat bars. Non-suspension corrected fork handles predictably with or without a load!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes it sound like our Bassi Hog's Back? Absolutely, since both frames are designed for roughly the same kind of riding. Convergent evolution, if you will. What are the differences? VO have a more experimental aesthetic, whereas Bassi really likes traditional looks. The Hog's Back's front end is longer and is designed for swept-back bars, and the bottom bracket is higher. There are some differences in parts compatibility, which might be important if you already have parts on hand, notably for the BB and cranks. You can push the tire size on the Piolet a little bit further, which is useful with knobbies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Small are designed around 26 x 2.4\" tires. M, L, and XL use 29 x 2.4\" or 27.5 x 2.8\" tires. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFrame details and features:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrameset material:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 4130 double butted chrome-moly\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFork:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 1 1\/8\" threadless\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWheel Size:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 29\" \u0026amp; 27.5+ (M, L, XL), 26\" (S)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTire:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 29\" x 2.4\" or 27.5 x 2.8\" (M, L, XL), 26\" x 2.4 (S)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRear Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 135mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBottom Bracket:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e English threaded 73mm, mountain cranksets only\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBrakes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 160 - 180mm disc\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSeatpost:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 27.2mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFront Derailleur Size:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 28.6mm, bottom pull\/bottom swing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater bottle mounts:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 3 sets on frame, 2 sets on fork blades\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFender bosses:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e seatstay bridge, chainstay bridge, under fork crown \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDropouts\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eVertical with triple eyelets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLowrider thru bosses on fork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e2 sets of seatstay rack eyelets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReplaceable stainless steel derailleur hanger\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaint\u003c\/strong\u003e: Deep Metallic Blue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shoplightspeed.com\/shops\/633439\/files\/41072840\/piolet-mk2-geometry-2-large.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"438\" height=\"339\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Velo Orange","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":44800119341125,"sku":"210000016660","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL","offer_id":44910441103429,"sku":"210000016663","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"L","offer_id":44910441431109,"sku":"210000016662","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":44910441791557,"sku":"210000016661","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/1865\/7605\/files\/profiledroppedout.jpg?v=1774213744"},{"product_id":"cadre-et-fourche-velo-orange-neutrino-frameset","title":"Velo Orange Neutrino Frameset","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe adore VO's Neutrino!
