WARNING: Extreme riding is a very dangerous sport; it requires an amazing amount of skill. By engaging in this type of activity, you are accepting the risk of possible injury or even death. Even the best bike will not help you land a clean trick if you lack the skills.
- Page 5 ATTENTION: When using the Soda EVO frame in the long travel setting (that is when shock bolts inside rocker arm are in the upper hole) the adapter in the droput must be set to long chain stay position! The frame will not work with long travel and short chainstay setup.

- Page 8 FRAME CONCEPT & INFORMATION: SODA EVO After several years of serving as our basic workhorse, the popular Soda frameset has undergone a major revamp. Now it’s compatible with 650B wheels, has a longer front end and slacker head angle for more stability. The main pivot has been raised for better pedalling and square bump absorption and the frame now has more travel (adjustable from 160 or 180mm).
- Page 9 FRAME CONCEPT & INFORMATION: SODA SLOPE The Soda Slope is a radical bike for big moves that takes over where dirt jumping hardtails are not enough. It’s most impor- tant feature is that it enables true single speed setups with no chain tensioners or standard derailleur / single front ring setups.

- Page 20 SUSPENSION SETTINGS Suspension settings are a matter of personal preference. Some riders like it plush, some like it firm. However here are some suggestions of shock settings that you can use as basic guidelines. Coil shocks: For rider weight of 70kg a 450 lbs spring will give a medium-soft ride in the long travel position (approximate sag35%), and a firm setting in the short travel position (approximate sag: 28%).
- Page 21 INSTRUCTIONS: SODA EVO REAR WHEEL MOUNTING Soda EVO frame are compatible with both 135x10 bolt–on hubs with female oversized axle + side bolts or 135x12 hubs. Two sets of dropouts inserts are included with the frame: 135x10, 135x12. NS 135x12 axle is also included with the frame.
- Page 22 INSTRUCTIONS: SODA EVO CS LENGTH ADJUST Choosing correct dropout inserts set: - For 135x10 bolt-on hubs use dropout inserts with 10mm holes there are no difference between left and right inserts. - For 135x12 hubs use dropouts inserts with 12mm holes: the smaller insert with tread inside is for the drive (right) side drop- out.
- Page 23 * always use threaded 135x12 dropout insert in the drive side (right) dropout! * Soda EVO frame comes with 135x12mm NS thru axle, optionally Rock Shox Maxle 135x12mm could be used. * always set long CS for long travel setup. frame will not work with long travel and short CS setup.
- Page 24 INSTRUCTIONS: SODA SLOPE REAR WHEEL MOUNTING TIP: for frames with horizontal dropouts & single speed we always suggest bolt on hubs or hubs with thru axles and track nuts. This way you can get much more clamping force than with any QR hub. Most riders don’t even use the axle positioners / chain tensioners when running bolt on hubs.
- Page 25 INSTRUCTIONS: SODA EVO TRAVEL ADJUST Fig 13 shows the long travel position (shock bolts inside rocker arm in upper hole) Note that in this setup the dropout inserts must be set to the long chainstay position!

In order to avoid damage of the cables we added protective tubes to the frame. Cable installation procedure: - For this process you will need to disassemble the brake hose and / or derailleur cable.
