Soma Wolverine 4.0 TYPE-A Adventure Touring Frame, Storm Blue
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 seat-stay, it is compatible with the Gates Carbon Belt Drive.
The primary differences between the 3.0 and v. 4.0 Type-B is an extra set of water bottle bosses, and additional stack height on most sizes. The Type-A ALSO adopts more modern standards such as 142mm thru-axles and a 44mm headtube that will fit 1-1/8 straight steerer or tapered steerer with the proper headset type. NO frame break for Belt-Drive.
- A-Type has more modern standards, 12x142mm dropouts, and 44mm head tube without belt drive compatibility
- Geometry stable enough for off road touring and adventuring, yet nimble enough for cross (monster cross that is)
- IRD Broski sliding dropouts let you run gears or a single speed set up with better durability and less wheel slippage
- Tange Prestige heat-treated CrMo tubes for the front triangle, butted CrMo rear end
