20 years of Steppenwolf
20 years in which the Steppenwolf family has gone from strength to strength.
Each Steppenwolf is a faithful companion: reliable and individual. Just the way you want it! Here are our Steppenwolf-Hardtails, the bosses on every trail – for adventure without limits.
Race dominant genes, combined with a sense of distance, make our hardtail Tundra preserve smoothness in all forward motion. It's the short rear section & steep steering angle that helps support its agility. Both uphill & downhill, they are smooth, dynamic & sensitive.

I’ve been shopping for months, and this bike is a steal. In fact, I thought it was a misprint, or surely when I call they’ll be out. But lo-and-behold it’s in my garage.
Weighed 24lbs with pedals. (Size Large). I took my “Sweet” time putting it together to ensure I did everything right. Took me an hour. Right out of the box the shifting was smooth as silk. Breaks are firm and responsive and both levers are perfectly adjusted. Shock eats bumps up like candy.
I remember when I went from a 26 inch to a 29er how much better the ride was. I spent weeks wondering how the ride could be so much smoother. Same experience with this bike. The difference between my 29er aluminum frame, (32lbs) and this one is like night and day. So much more responsive and so much easier to move around on the trails.
All in all, this is a fantastic bike for the money. Great components, carbon and a great price.
