Alexandera Houchin riding a mountain bike on a forest trail. Esker
GO BIG, GO FURTHER.
 
When you want to go that much further into rough terrain, the Woodsy Ti is there for you. With 145mm of Orion suspension out back and 160mm up front, it is ready for anything the trail throws at you.
 
Why titanium? Why not? We are lovers of all things bike and once we made an alloy full suspension bike, it was only logical to also make an elegant titanium front triangle as well. We took everything we’ve learned from years of making hardtails and used it to create a great riding (and great looking) titanium full suspension bike.
 
The Woodsy Ti features the same seamless, butted and cold-shaped 3/2.5 titanium tubing as our legendary hardtails. The magic happens when the Ti it is combined with an alloy rear triangle via an eye catching bottom bracket cluster.

 

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
 
Woodsy is a mascot for the United States Forest Service with the aim of motivating children to form healthy, lasting relationships with nature. Originally created in 1970 as part of a campaign to raise awareness for environmental protection.
 
Woodsy Owl has been an integral part of the educational program of the US Forest Service for decades and is particularly active against littering and environmental pollution.
 
Woodsy's original motto of “Give a hoot! Don't pollute” has been ingrained in the memories of countless Americans recreating in the forests of the United States.

Woodsy Titanium FAQ

  • 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 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.

Q - Do you do custom builds?

  • We do not. We offer a limited menu of upgrade options for all of our bikes, but we do not do custom builds.

  • If you'd like to have a custom Esker built up, please reach out to one of our Retail Partners and they'll work with you on getting you exactly what you want!

Q - What does your warranty look like?

Q - Can I order one of your frames/bikes through a local bike shop?

  • Absolutely. That would be the best way to order one of our frames/bikes! Working with your local bike shop allows you to get great insight on which model is right for you, which size may work best for your intended use, and ensure that your bike gets built up and fit to your exact specifications. Jump on over to our Dealer Locator to see a full map of our retail partners and find the one closest to you.

Q - Can I demo a bike before I buy it?

  • We do our best to travel around throughout the year and often partner with regional mountain bike festivals or local retail partners to host demos. For the most up to date opportunities, check our Dealer Locator.  You can also see a full map of our retail partners - reach out to them if you're nearby and ask them what they may have available for you to demo locally.

Q - I want to buy a frame bag before my bike/frame arrives, can you provide the frame bag dimensions for the Howdy?

  • We don't recommend buying a frame bag until you have your frame/bike on hand. That is the absolute best way to ensure you get the right size and shape for your bike.

  • If you're looking to make a custom bag(s) for your Esker, we've partnered with some incredible custom frame bag makers that all have our frame dimensions and files on hand. Please reach out to one of the following frame bag makers to get the exact bags made for your bike that you want!
