BASSI BIKES Hog's Back 2024 | A versatile all-road frame that supports both daily life and travel
A versatile frame for city commutes, or long journeys with luggage.
BASSI BIKES are produced by the renowned Montreal shop, "C&L Cycles." Among their lineup, the Hog's Back model stands out as the most off-road capable.
From city commuting to weekend gravel rides, and fully loaded long-distance touring, the experience gained in Montreal's urban environment, Vermont's rural roads, and South America's dirt roads has been integrated into the design of this frame.
The 4130 chromoly tubing provides a supple ride feel while maintaining high stability when loaded. The longer chainstays and slack head angle ensure stable handling even with cargo.
Equipped with numerous eyelets and a kickstand plate as standard, it also excels as a utility bike. From daily commutes to multi-day trips, this bike can be freely customized to suit your lifestyle.

The appeal of the Hog's Back is that you don't have to limit its use to just one purpose. It works equally well as a commuter bike with a rack, or as a touring rig for multi-day trips with large bags.
Its stability when loaded is particularly impressive, making it an excellent match for a classic touring style with a front rack. This frame is highly recommended for those who want to enjoy both daily life and travel with a single bike.
