Cotic (the company that brought you the cracking “26 ain’t dead” video (although it seems to be – the final batch of 26in frames are currently on sale) decided that its new 27.5in Soul needed a similarly epic singletrack video to celebrate the slightly bigger wheels of this new Soul. (Long live the Soul!). As shot by the Steel City crew.
And so, without further ado, here’s a 27.5 Soul being ridden with far more attitude and skill in 90 seconds than most of us will muster in a month.

Enough with the roosting loam all over the shop and trashing my trails already…
I have a real love/ hate relationship with these clips, love watching them, hate that they show just how crap I am in comparison!
What no Thrash Metal 😉
I know it’s not about looks, but the Soul just looks wrong with those big clunky wheels
Great video and all the better for no music
[ psst – as regards that “other” video, there is another batch of 26″ BFes on the way soon ]
Really liked this video because of the lack of music – to me, biking is about the countryside and there is no thrash metal where i ride
One of my favourites – spot on Cotic 🙂
