Vassago WetCat Geometry
When refining our exclusive WetCat Geometry, We peed in the eye of tradition and ignored the number-obsessed skeptics.
Our long wheelbases, steep seat tubes and slack head tubes made us true blasphemers in the frame design world. As the critics baulked, we honed our angles and tube diameters, to fully utilized the big wheels we are so faithful to.
Now, with so many podium finishes under our belt, and a legion of happy Vassago riders, we confidently say;
- 29 inch wheels are the Cat's Pajamas.
- Long chainstays are the Bee's Knees.
- Long bikes can still handle fantastic.
- Its all about the rider's balance in relation to the wheels, not numbers on paper.
- Slack doesn't have to mean slow.
- The Easter Bunny and Santy Claus are the same guy.
So what can WetCat do for you?
Climbing
Climb the nastiest technical sections like a wet cat climbs the drapes a grandma's house. (what you never did that?)
Traction to spare, and a neutralized rider position will have you cleaning sections you never expected, and have your buddies buyin' you rounds when the pedalin's done.
Descending
Stability is your best friend when speed is what you're looking for. The centrifugal force of fast spinning big hoops and the long, steel frame offer confidence to rival a full squishy bike at speed.
Comfort
9 to 5 is just plain wrong. For those of you who's therapy is an nice epic ride on a Sunday morning, we have your prescription. Between the balanced geometry and the unrivaled ridability of steel, a vassago will keep you cumfy in the saddle as long as your legs can keep pushing.
Balance
Where it all comes together. Our unique frame geometries all work together to provide a perfectly balanced 29er that feels like no other 29er you've ridden.
Forget the many tallish, slow handling 29ers that are becoming all to common. We center the riders weight between the wheel centers for a distinctive feel of riding IN the bike, not ON TOP of big tall wheels.
Test ride a Vassago and then test ride anything else with twice the price tag. You'll see what we mean.

This simple analogy pretty much sums it up.
