Hudski remains to be a reasonably younger firm on the earth of bikes, however their category-defying Doggler left a lasting impression since my final trip at Camp Strava. The Doggler is about having enjoyable on a motorbike first, and doesn’t fear about becoming into a particular class of motorbike design.
It seems like Hudski is taking that ethos to the subsequent degree with their new Dualist that was teased again at Sea Otter. In comparison with the Doggler, the bike has various updates – primarily to extend tire clearance and add SRAM UDH functionality. Now working Enhance 148mm rear spacing, the body has a two-piece solid BB that’s welded down the center to permit for greater tire clearance. The rear axle additionally has two positions, one at 435mm and the opposite at 450mm chainstay lengths ( a feat whereas sustaining UDH compatibility).
Relying on the setting, you’ll be able to run as much as 29 x 2.5″ tires out again, or a chunky 27.5 x 2.8″.
Up entrance, the carbon fork additionally has two axle positions with 44 or 54mm fork offset.
In any other case, the Dualist seems pretty much like the Doggler, and can proceed to problem perceptions about what a gravel or mountain bike may/ought to be.
We’re advised that the Dualist will formally be launched in June with supply anticipated in July. Don’t care about greater tire clearance or UDH? Right now is the final day of an enormous sale on the Hudski Doggler, with full bike costs as little as $1,120!
