Steve Peat - Going Solo Video

I don't really want to spoil this little piece and If I type too much I will. It is just so cool, so refreshing, so just sit back and enjoy this.

Okay - this is a marketing piece, but it is so "un-marketing" that It is cool. Attach it to a real guy like Peaty and you can't loose. The epic footage isn't bad either- courtesy of Scotland.

Here is what Santa Cruz has to say about the bike. I have no comment on it as I haven't seen or ridden one.

Solo pushes further into the realms of 27.5" wheel size possibilities. Developed using what we learned from Bronson, it takes the design platform in a different direction.

The low bottom bracket height, shorter chainstays and 125mm of progressive VPP suspension give Solo its snappy, nimble, ride.

A 68 degree head angle adds climbing agility into the equation, whilst a 5lb carbon frame weight define Solo as the tool for that back country mission you’ve always planned.

Responsibly offered in Mountain Rescue Orange, Solo goes where no bike has gone before.
