Item number: 76824
The Podsol from bc original - All-Mountain hardtail frame in 29" for your home-town trails
If you want to build a versatile, rugged and agile 29" MTB for all-mountain use, then you should opt for the bc original Podsol hardtail frame. With its direct and playful handling, it'll provide you with endless amounts of fun on your hometown trails. When riding uphill, the aluminium chassis transforms every pedal stroke into direct propulsion, and it goes without saying that it can take a lot downhill as well. The Podsol features a classic frame shape that meets the requirements of modern mountain bikers, and allows tyres up to 2.5" of clearance. Its minimalist high-end design with externally mounted cable routing and BSA bottom bracket offers reliability and uncomplicated maintenance.
Hold on: what does Podsol mean?
" The Aachen Forest sits atop a type of soil called 'podsol.' Since the frame was developed for our (and also your own) hometown trails, where the ground surface plays a decisive role, we decided to name it in honour of that." - Christoph, Product Manager.
