KEY FEATURES
Yes, the Splash is designed to get you into MTB riding. The geometry design and component choices are intended to make for a very competitive value MTB, perfect for an entry into the sport.
Yes, you can. The Splash frame takes a standard tapered fork, so you can choose whatever you want to ride - as long as it matches the travel of the current fork. Also a good thing to keep in mind is axle and spacing compatibility.
Unfortunately not no. Speak to Speedlab's team, to see what we can sort out for you.
Yes, your frame is internal dropper post ready.
Yes, the Splash range has geometry suited for female riders.

Where can I get a replacement hanger for my Splash?
The Speedlab Shop has a variety of products and hanger available.
Can I convert my wheels to tubeless?
Yes and No, the rims are Tubeless ready. Stick on some tubeless rim tape, tubeless valves, sealant and ... air. Lot of air to seat the tyre bead on to the rim wall. You'll be riding tubeless in no time with the Speedlab tubeless kit that has everything you'll need!
The maximum tyre size on the Stride range is 2.35" on the rear tyre.
Silverback's Position of Power geometry. Geometry designed to engage bigger muscle groups in pedalling, producing more power output for the same amount of input. Longer frame places the rider forward, in a more balanced position, improving grip on the rear on climbs and on the front on descents. A longer wheelbase and slacker head angle means more control at speed. Geometry on the Splash is adapted to offer more comfort.
Silverback Ladies Design means that the bicycle is set up to better suit women's anatomy and body proportions. This on the Splash means narrower handlebars, thinner grips, adjusted gear ratios, shorter stem and a women's specific saddle.
The Splash features a class leading frame. Trickle-down technology means that the new frame benefits from our leading platforms. The frame tubes are hydro-formed into complex shapes to increase strength and stiffness, minimizing weight and excess material use. All Stride frames are now internal dropper post ready.
The Splash Comp is fitted with a purpose chosen 100mm suspension fork. A suspension fork improves comfort and traction on a hardtail mountain bike. The VAXA HL 860S Air is a dependable component.
Silverback fits 1x drivetrains to as many bikes as we can. 1x offers less maintenance, is more intuitive to use and offers a wider gear range than 3x groupsets. We spec our 32t 1x N/W chainrings on the Splash Comp in favour of climbing, rather than flat terrain top speed. Everyone can benefit from easier climbing.
Surface Wheels are pre-taped at the factory and tubeless ready from the box. Easy to set up, just add sealant and inflate to seat.
The new Splash frame is designed with super low standover. This means more maneuverability, easier mounting and dismounting and also confidence both on the trails, or even just standing at a traffic light. And helps to make the bike perfectly suited to female riders.
