Jack of all trades, master of none. Like all things Vassago, (except maybe our beer glasses) the Fisticuff is not for everybody.

Think of it as a ‘cross-inspired bike with a bit of a ‘roid problem. In this case, that's a very good thing. We beefed up the frame and fork in all the same places where a 29er trail bike experiences torsional forces. The result is a 'cross style bike that responds like a mountain bike in the rough stuff.

More than simply adding tire clearance to a 'cross frame, the Fisticuff fits the monstercross nomenclature by way of its trail-bike tube set, drop bar geometry, straight blade fork and all around badassness. Yes, it is a word.

So build it up to fit your needs. 650b or 700c wheels. singlespeed, fixed, geared, skinny tires, fat tires, disc, V-brakes, cantis, drop bars, flat bars... Whatever toots your whistle.

Whether you're looking for a drop-bar trail bike, a burly commuter, or a touring rig, the Fisticuff is your huckleberry.

Available as a frame set in Shart Brown.

Nothing compares to test riding a bike, and we strongly urge you to do that. The Vassago feel is our best feature. But if you can't throw a leg over first, here are some sizing recommendations.

Because of the range of personal preference and body proportions, these size ranges are recommendations only. Please consider your current road bike size, inseam, arm length and riding style when determining the size that is right for you. Still not sure, give us a call.
