Neuhaus MTB Geo

Geometry

The HBSL’s modern geometry is designed to encourage you to dig deep on every climb, propel you to the finish line first, but in a manner fitting of the most capable gravel bike. With a 67 degree headtube angle, a comfortable yet efficient seat tube angle, tall stack height and ample clearance for up to 29x2.4 the HBSL perfectly walks the line between XC performance and all-day gravel comfort.

Compared to a pure XC bike, it is more comfortable for those all-day adventures

Compared to a gravel bike the HBSL will be more capable and confidence inspiring as the roads get rougher and dirtier

  • Neuhaus Metalworks Hummingbird Custom review image from David

    I love the bike’s simplicity, balance, and agility. I ride it in all sorts of terrain and it adapts to whatever I throw at it.

  • Neuhaus Metalworks Hummingbird Custom review image from Eli

    I’ve worked in the bike industry, owned several custom geometry frames, and have been building bikes for the better part of 15 years.  This frame is pure magic! In the past 9 months of owning this bike I have regained my true love for riding bikes — I’m not generally the emotional type,  but I look forward to a very long relationship with this beautiful machine.

  • Neuhaus Metalworks Hummingbird Ti Review image from Doug

    I’ve had a steel Surly Krampus fork on the bike for a couple months now and I REALLY enjoy the way it handles and rides. It was also really handy on a bikepacking trip with the extra bosses and for road riding.
