Product information "SOMA Riff (27.5″ Trail Hardtail)"
The Riff is our hardtail frame for 27.5"/650b wheels. (It replaces the
B-Side model) While the B-Side showed our tendency of not following the
latest trends, the Riff is pretty modern in geometry and features. Tough
IRD Broski Sliding Dropouts allow you to go single-speed or geared or
even run hub gears. Also new is internal seat tube dropper post routing.
A modified chainstay allows fitting even some double cranks with "plus
size" 2.8" wide tires without needing to invest in Boost parts.
Additionally the Riff is available in a belt-drive ready version.

SOMA FABRICATIONS
Practical, durable, comfortable, affordable… these are the primary
forces shaping Soma’s ideology. Sounds reasonable right? But why do so
many other companies try to emulate the racing world when it’s the
smallest segment of the market? Our local bike shops have felt a lack of
‘real’ products aimed at the everyday cyclist and occasionally
pitch their ideas at us. The results: A better tire lever, water
bottles that don’t taste like plastic, and steel frames that’s got
people smiling from the commute to the singletrack. The San Francisco
Bay Area is where we are located. We love the year round riding weather
here and the strong bike culture. It’s a great place to live and
cultivate new ideas.
