2014 Santa Cruz Bantam
Santa Cruz sent us some info on their newest mid-wheeled steed. Here it is in their words, aside from captions. We’ll take the blame for those.
Sharing the same mega-agile geometry as the Solo, the Bantam punches way above its weight for a trail bike in this category.
- 125mm of single-pivot suspension and a robust collet pivot axle system create a rock-solid trail tool that’s as awesomely simple as it is tough.
- 27.5″ wheels deliver those fabled rolling benefits without compromising maneuverability, leaving the Bantam fired-up to go the distance if you are.

why does he need to move the rocks around, looks perfectly nice just as it is?
this is the sort of frame that would get me off my hardtail, if I was interested in getting off my hardtail that is 🙂
