Utilizing the patented 3VO Kinematic perfected by Chris Currie, we designed Kanga. Our team's combined decades of experience in wrenching, riding, design, and manufacturing has culminated in our biggest accomplishment yet.
Why Steel?
Kanga brings steel back into the forefront of mountain biking, providing a compliant ride feel unlike anything on the market.
Why Aluminum?
While steel is absolutely real, aluminum too, is real... Our welded aluminum swingarm is lightweight, stiff, and strong. We want the shock and the 3VO to do the work out back.
Why 3VO?
3VO suspension delivers active, supple traction while maintaining pedaling efficiently. You don’t have to choose between climbing performance and downhill control.
Why Mullet?
Mullet (MX) mean business (29" wheel) up front, party (27.5" wheel) in the back. The Kanga powers up techy climbs efficiently thanks to 3VO, while maximizing fun on the descents. Mixed wheel gives more even weight distribution and confidence descending. The 27.5" has a tighter turning radius than the 29er, making the rear end of the bike pivot around the front.
Tailored?
We offer tailored sizes! Kanga comes in 6 standard sizes which covers most body types. Here at Jackalope we understand the value of a perfect fit, so we offer tailored sizing to accommodate the outlier body types. We can change the reach or the seat tube length to match your proportions.
