SMOKEY FAQ
Q - What size frame should I buy?
Q - How many water bottles will the Smokey carry?
-
SM = 1 bottle in the front triangle, 1 bottle under the downtube.
-
MD/LG/XL = 2 bottles in the front triangle, 1 bottle under the down tube.
Q - Can I put a rear rack on the Smokey?
-
Sure Thing! While our Hayduke model has dedicated rack mounts built into the frame, the Smokey can still utilize a rear rack by installing our Portage Rack Mount Bolts and a Seatpost Clamp with Rack Mounts.
Q - Can I single-speed the Smokey?
-
You betcha! Our Portage Dropout System allows you to adjust the chainstay length by up to 14mm, allowing you to run a single speed setup reliably, quietly, and with ease. Heck, we even have a single speed build option that you can buy!
Q - Can I run an internally geared hub on the Smoky?
-
Technically, yes, but we don't offer any support on figuring out which hubs and support parts may be needed in order to make this happen. Have fun!
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 to me, can you provide the frame bag dimensions?
- We don't recommend buying a frame bag until you have your frame/bike on hand. That is 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 them HERE.

BUILT FOR THE BACKCOUNTRY
We here at Esker enjoy long rides into the wild spaces and are proud to say our bikes are truly Built for the Backcountry. That means they are designed and built on three values:
REFINED GEOMETRY:
DURABILITY:
We build our bicycles with the highest quality metal tubing for the utmost in durability.
Each tubeset provides a greater strength to weight ratio than other frames on the market and engineered specifically for its application. Every Esker frame is tested to our own internal standard far exceeding ISO 4210, for a true lifetime of constant use.
Esker will get you into the backcountry as far as you want to go, but it will also get you back!
RIDE QUALITY:
Not too flexy, not too stiff…but just right! We are riders, and design our bikes by riding them, constantly, to refine the perfect feel.
We toil over every model to ensure the ride simply feels right and comfortable, like your favorite hoody.
