Hydro-formed 6061 Alloy frame
The Stride features a brand and improved new frame. Trickle-down technology means that the new frame benefits from our leading platforms. The frame tubes are hydro-formed into complex shapes to increase strength and stiffness, minimizing weight and excess material use. All Stride frames are now internal dropper post ready.

Kickstand mount
There is an integrated kickstand mount in the left rear chainstay. The addition of a kickstand is neat and uncomplicated. We suggest using the Speedkit kickstand for non e-bikes. The disc Brake calliper mounted inside rear triangle to protect it from environmental damage, while also acting like a brace, improving strength around the dropout and kickstand mount.

Low standover
A lower standover means that the bike can comfortably be ridden by both male and female riders. Giving them more room for movement. This improves control and confidence on the sections of the more technical trail. A lower standover height also allows for a longer dropper post to be used.

Pop geometry
Position of Power -Geometry designed to engage bigger muscle groups in pedalling, producing more power output for the same amount of input. Longer frame places the rider forward, in a more balanced position, improving grip on the rear on climbs and on the front on descents. A longer wheelbase and slacker head angle means more control at speed.

Rack and Fender mounts
The frame features mounting points for a rear fender and pannier racks. The Stride can easily be set up as a commuter or touring bike.

Responsive Short chainstays
Short chainstays coupled with Pop geometry means that the Stride is more nimble through corners, yet retains overall stability.

Selective internal routing
The Stride range now also boasts selective internal routing. This means that in the interest of setup, reliability and maintenance, the rear brake cable is still run externally, where as all other cables are run inside the frame tubes. The rear brake can be quickly and easily installed without the need for bleeding while the rest of the cables are neatly routed out of sight and easily installed.

Tapered headtube
A Tapered headtube increases front-end stiffness and directly influences steering feel and precision. This also means that the Stride range is compatible with all modern forks, if you would want to upgrade your suspension.

Tubeless ready
Surface Wheels are tubeless ready from the box and Stride even comes with tubeless valves in the box. Easy to set up, just add sealant and inflate to seat.

Tyre clearance
Stride Scientifica is designed to easily fit higher volume 29" x 2.35" tyres with plenty of mud clearance. Bigger tyres can increase contact area and thus ride comfort, control and grip.

This bike is absolutely amazing. I would not have found it nor purchase it if I did not see it physically at a bike shop.The website hides a gem in the sport and kiddies section.I fell in love with the brand and this bike stands it’s ground .The cockpit is amazing, steering is clean and responsive .I cycled with it flawlessly in switchbacks,rock gardens and gravel the bike is an absolute pleasure.Light and cosmetically beautiful as well. It was a shocker when the unit price was so way below for what I would pay for similar components on another brand.
The writer would like to state that I cycle for self-defense with my 15 year old son .The father and son outings just became more competitive . I might be big boned at 111kg but I brought Excalibur’s nephew stride SX and it is absolute fun.
I would strongly recommend bigger volume tyres the Slogan on the bike states “born to be fast “ apparently according to Strava this is very true.
Awesome product
After sales is just as excellent thank you Shane Janse Van Vuuren the advice is noted.

I bought my Stride SX in January this year and still happy with it. Shoutout to Silverback, please market this product more because people need to know about it. It handles like a pro on jumps and especially in urban mtb environments. It would be great to have an option of two different suspensions where one has 120 mm of travel and one with 100mm of travel
