WILDCAT 150 Aluminum
Estimated delivery: March 2023 – TBA
While the new Wildcat 150 resembles our original shorter-travel bike, both aesthetically and in terms of suspension design, it is unique in that the front triangle has been completely redesigned to accommodate the new angles and geometry – namely a steeper seat tube and slacker head tube. And of course we’ve factored in a taller fork (571mm A to C) for 160mm of squish up front.
The new design produces different leverage and anti-squat ratios, but remains a very efficient pedaler.
We designed the suspension to be soft off the top for great small-bump compliance, and fairly progressive and linear throughout the rest of the travel.
So there you go, you’ve got MORE. Now go get after it.

How much assembly is required?
As stated in the Shop page under each product, there is around 50% assembly required. Each bike takes approximately 30min to 1 hour for an experienced mechanic. Assembly should not be attempted if you’ve never done it before. A bike that is not properly assembled could result in potential serious injuries. Take it to a shop near you. https://rsdbikes.com/assembly-requirements/
Do Bikes, Frames or Forks really cost $100, $250 or $500?
No, the $100, $250 or $500 is a required deposit in order to secure a specific size, colour or build that is currently not in stock. The balance will be due prior to shipping. These amounts are labelled as Deposit or Pre-Order Deposit
When do I pay the balance after i placed a pre-order?
Once the pre-order is placed and the deposit paid, there are no further actions needed from you.
