The Radavist x Otso Cycles Collaboration Voytek

Voytek was designed for riding all year, but it's SO much fun riding on snowy trails. Unfortunately, winters here in Minnesota are getting shorter and more unpredictable. That's why we're donating a portion of every sale of this bike to an organization that can save our favorite season. Protect Our Winters helps outdoor-lovers like us protect the places, seasons, and activities that we love from climate change. This is a team of athletes, scientists, creatives, and business leaders driving the policies needed to reach climate goals and guarantee snow for future generations.

Our Tuning Chip rear dropout is at the heart of the versatile Voytek. With a quick change in positions, the wheelbase of the Voytek can be extended or shortened by up to 20mm, which also changes bottom bracket height by up to 4mm. In the forward position, you’ve got an aggressive, responsive Voytek for your next race. In the rear position, you’ve got that same intuitive handling but with added stability to make it easier to ride in deep snow or adverse terrain. In the middle, well, that’s the best of both worlds.

We’re internally divided here as to whether the Voytek is a plus bike that can handle fat tires or if the Voytek is a fat bike that has the handling worthy of a plus bike. At the core of the Voytek is the narrowest Q-factor of any bike, which means that it handles more like a mountain bike than a fat bike. When the trails are packed with snow, we’re riding 4” tires. When spring comes and the trails turn to dirt, we swap out tires and ride plus until winter returns. The versatility of the Voytek blurs the lines of plus and fat, keeping the party going all year long.
