The Jackal is a brutally simple bike. There aren’t any suspension links to talk about, and notions like ride comfort and bump compliance don’t apply. Instead, there’s an aluminum frame tough enough to stick every solid landing and handle every not-so clean re-entry. It has super short chainstays, as well as some of the trickest adjustable dropouts ever made (gears or singlespeed? No problem, it can go both ways), and a looooww top tube that won’t get in the way when throwing legs over it.
