Description
The original inspiration for the Wolverine was “monster cross”, but it is seriously so much more. Its geometry is stable enough for off road touring, but sporty enough for all-around adventure. With its sliding dropouts, you can turn it into a single-speed CX bike. With a split seatstay, it is compatible with the Gates Carbon Belt Drive.
The primary differences between the 3.0 and v. 4 Type-B is an extra set of water bottle bosses, and additional stack height on most sizes.

- Rear hub spacing:135mm (10mm QR, can be upgraded to 142mm 12mm TA with different inserts )
