The AKA is a bit of a do it all bike, we like to think that the AKA is the peak of what a hardcore hardtail is, you can build this as you like â with 27.5� and a 140mm fork or 29� wheels and a 120mm fork. Thanks to the Adjustable dropout system ( A.D.S) you can run the bike with gears or Single speed and not need a tensioner. Thanks to modern geometry the AKA will take anything you will throw at it. Designed in the UK to be the bike you go to for everything â down your local, shredding laps with friends or getting the miles in.Youâd think making a hardtail was as simple as picking a few decent geometry numbers, throw it together and away you go⦠if only it was that easy. In fact, hardtails get steeper at sag, so we put a package together that ticks all the boxes with that in mind. A slack 64.5 degree head angle, comfortable 73 degree seat tube angle, and a low bottom bracket put you âinâ the bike while keeping the centre of gravity low making the bike ride more playfully. The AKA is the culmination of years of design experience, tweaking, testing and adapting the design until we were happy.
