PRESS RELEASE: RSD BikesAt RSD Bikes, we didn't make any New Year's resolutions for 2019, because we're still stoked about how 2018 played out. We introduced an aggressive new steel hardtail,
The MiddleChild, and rolled out an all-new version of our perennial favourite fat bike, the
Aluminum Mayor V4. Both bikes available to ship now.
Steel MiddleChild
3 colours available (Turquoise, Yellow and Black) - Complete w/ dropper $2799 USD. Frames $699 USD Aluminum Mayor V4
Complete from $1699 to $2199 USD. Frames $499 USDInternal Dropper Routing & Sliding Dropouts2019 will keep the momentum rolling with two more new bikes - the drool-worthy
MiddleChild Titanium, and an all-new steel 29'er hardtail called the
Archetype, based on 130mm fork and 2.6 inch tires. Due to the very limited production, Ti MiddleChild pre-orders are being taken now for late Spring delivery. Stay tuned for more Archetype news.
Titanium MiddleChild
Complete with dropper $4499 USD. Frames $2199 USDHand-painted in Gloss Black with logos and marks lasered to reveal the luster of raw Ti beneathSeat stays and CNC machined Ti custom yoke with RSD engravedThe stoke builds even higher with the launch of all-new versions of the do-it-all
Sergeant V3 hardtail, the
Titanium Mayor Fat Bike (shipping now), and the 140mm-travel
Wildcat V2 trail bike (Details coming soon).
All three bikes have seen significant changes that upgrade proven designs to reflect what our customers have been doing with them - and telling us - and how current bike design has developed, to make all of our bikes more versatile machines.
Aluminum Sergeant V3
Complete w/ dropper $2199 USD. Frames $499 USDOur new Sergeant has become our ultimate do-it-all-anywhere bike. The V3 is capable of running 27.5x4.0 and 29x3.0

Frames $1999 USDEngraved Titanium CNC machined custom yoke that allows for 100mm rims with 5.05in tire clearance!Aluminum Fork RSD will also produce a custom 510mm rigid aluminum fork, because our search for an existing fork long enough with Boost spacing that would allow for 27.5x4 or 29.3 wheel/tire combos came up empty, short of using a fat bike fork to achieve the numbers and geo that we were looking for. Designed to be paired with our Sergeant V3 or ideal for Bikepackers. Our new fork's vitals: 510mm axle-to-crown, 51mm offset, tapered, fully rack-mount ready, and Boost hub spacing. $249 USD
Ambassador Program Also new for 2019, we're excited to launch our inaugural Ambassador program for riders in Canada and the USA. Shoot us a quick email if you're interested and we'll send you back some details.

A new program with FedEx will allow us to ship both frames and complete bikes to Western Europe, to begin with, at very competitive rates. This is already in place, so email away for quotes, Western Euro shredders!

MENTIONS: @RSD-Bikes
But, that Ti Middlechild... painting over beautiful titanium tubing - Why??? The look of raw Ti frames is prestigious.
You would have thought that it would be better for business and the economy if it was more attractive for international buyers to buy online from American companies. Sadly, not the case. I'll go pretty much anywhere other than the states...
Just to have the bike shipped to Ontario, Canada would cost me $616... So that 2160 dollar bike is now a 2776 dollar bike. Due to taxes and duty fees.
Please Please Please tell me that you will have internal cable routing for the steel MiddleChild in the future. And if not, how come? Why spec it on the Titanium, but not the steel frame?
Most longer travel posts (150-170mm) are internal routing. Have enough cable attachment points for someone to run an external if they wish, but internal dropper routing is almost a requirement these days.
Found the dentist!!!
No dentist but I've got a nice collection of powerful drills so I could do the demolition bit in case of an urgency.
I just don't like their external cable routing. (I would like them all on top of the down tube in a nice clean way)
It looks kinda ugly especially on the Sergeant V3. Like it's out of place.
Everything else on that bike seems really great.
I get that bikes look very similar nowdays, especially steal which cannot be mended into weird shapes and lines, but the MiddleChild looks exacly the same as the Shan and it is also from steel?
