Stif has given its hard-charging Squatch a UDH-compatible drop-out upgrade and some bright new colors for 2024. The bike was originally released as the Morf’s rowdy 29er wheeled sibling, and now takes the place of Stif's best hardtail mountain bike.
Bike Perfect's senior tech writer Graham Cottingham really liked the rowdy yet playful nature of the Stif Squatch when he reviewed it last year. The good news is Stif isn't messing with the radical geometry or forgiving tubing on the Squatch V1.1, instead, it's giving the frame a little refresh with some new UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) rear dropouts.
