Soma Wolverine Disc Frame A-Type 4.0

Version 4.0 continues to be the compelling choice for grail, adventure touring, and all roads. The 4.0 version features taller stack heights on most sizes, and an additional set of water bottle bosses under the down tube

The original inspiration for the Wolverine was "Monster Cross", but it is seriously so much more. Its geometry is stable enough for off-road touring but sporty enough for all-around adventure and gravel riding. With its sliding dropouts, you can run single-speed, derailleur gearing, or hub gearing.

The A-Type is a little more "modern" than the B-Type. It adopts a 142mm rear thru-axle and a 44mm headtube that will fit a 1-1/8 straight steerer or tapered steerer with the proper headset type (better compatibility with third-party carbon fiber gravel forks; however we removed the seat stay break, so it isn't Gates belt-drive compatible like the B-Type.

Uses full-length cable housing, so it does not have the old-school downtube shifter bosses.
