Q - What size frame should I buy?

• See the table below for a complete Esker Cycles model line-up size guide

• NOTE: Many folks can fit more than a single frame size. If you find yourself at a height in which you can fit 2 different frame sizes, ask yourself what your riding style is like and where/how you intend to use the bike. A larger frame will feel more stable at high speeds, but not as maneuverable in tighter and more technical situations on the trail. Inversely, a smaller frame will be less stable at speeds, but allow you to pick up and place your wheels in technical sections of trail much easier.

Q - What wheel sizes can I use on the Howdy Titanium?

• The Howdy was designed and optimized for 29" wheels front and rear.

Q - What's the maximum tire width that the Howdy Titanium will take?

• The Howdy was designed and optimized for 29" wheels with 2.5” tires (up to a 2.6" width).

Q - What fork travel can I use on the Howdy?

• The Howdy is designed around 140mm suspension forks (0% sag with an axle to crown height of 551mm unsagged). We test and approve forks that fit into those size dimensions +/- 10mm.

Q - What length dropper comes with a complete build?

• SM = 150mm PNW Loam dropper that can be adjusted down to 125mm of travel

• MD/LG = 170mm PNW Loam dropper that can be adjusted down to 145mm of travel

• XL = 200mm PNW Loam dropper that can be adjusted down to 175mm of travel

• For more information on the adjustability of the PNW Loam dropper, click HERE.
