Pedals
Crankbrothers stamp pedals are the grippiest pedals we have used. These have a wider base to give you a more comfortable foot grip, and excellent pedal control. Most commuting is done in sneakers or vans or some version of a walking / comfortable shoe. These pedals have a slightly concave design that hugs your shoe to prevent you from accidentally slipping off.

More Features

Carbon Frame
Strong carbon frame, custom built for up to a 325lb rider! The frame performs flawlessly in varying terrains, providing a great riding experience.
The inherent flexibility and high tensile strength of Carbon allows the stress of off-road use to effectively dissipate without degradation of the material, ensuring Carbon frames stay stronger for longer. What's more - you can actually order just the frame and customize it using your own add-ons. We are all ears about new ideas!

Front Suspension
There are good reasons the Mattoc is the performance benchmark for MTB riders worldwide: Unparalleled adjustability, supreme dampening performance, and Manitou’s renowned reliability. We’ve upgraded that winning formula to include low-friction dust seals that improve bump sensitivity, and IRT air spring adjustability that creates a plush beginning stroke with excellent mid-stroke support. And, a Comp-level Performance package brings Mattoc performance to even more riders.

Quality and style is what we strive for in our products.

Surly Moloko Bar
If variety is the spice of life, then the Moloko Bar oozes umami at every bend. It offers a multitude of hand positions to keep you comfortable and in control over the course of a long day riding on varied terrain. It also has plenty of spots to mount your various accessories. Dangle a handlebar bag from it, strap some lights to it, throw a GPS on it (if that’s your thing), and ride all day. It comes in a standard width of 735mm but if 685mm is more your style, don’t you worry. We added cut marks so you can easily make it so.

I am new to ebiking so I need to do some reading and research. I came across your bike by looking for the kind of build you do. When I saw the picture and specs it felt a little like long ago seeing that one girl across the crowded room...
