New year, new bikes! We’re beyond stoked to welcome Hudski’s ‘Dualist’ as the newest bike at Off Course. While we’ve got a long-term review cooking, read on for a little appertizer before the main dish…
We’ve had our eye on Hudski for some time now. With the brand born from a 4-month bike tour undertaken together by founders Brian and Will, their ethos seemed well-aligned with ours: thoughtfully designed bikes that can explore the bush, get around town and smash gravel, all at the drop of a hat. Glowing reports from John at the Radavist as well as Logan and Tom at Bikepacking.com only built our curiosity. When SCV gave us a chance to bring these in we jumped at the opportunity, and we certainly weren’t disappointed when we got the Dualist out of the box.
Hudski’s Dualist model is the first of their fleet to drop here in Australia. Their take on the modern ATB (All-terrain bike) genre, it’s bursting at the seams with clever design choices: Flip-chips, UDH compatibility, boost-spacing, dropper post and clearance for 29 x 2.5″ tires (or 27.5 x 3.0″ for all you folks wanting to push the envelope) make this a genuine do-everything bike. Backcountry gravel? No problem. Technical trails? Get sendy. Daily commute? Best part of your day.
We have a couple of these ready-to-ride here at our store in Brunswick. Shoot us an email or give us a call on 9388 1319 to discuss taking one for a spin.
Welcome, Hudski!
