Wolf Tooth components, a brand known for cassette adaptors, chainrings and chain guides has made the jump into producing bikes under the moniker Otso Cycles.

- Tested: When do plus tyres make sense?
At launch, the brand, which gets its name from the bear spirit in Finnish mythology, announced that it is releasing two platforms; the Warakin and the Voytek.
The Warakin is a drop bar bike designed to tackle anything from your local CX race to hours of gravel grinding, and the Voytek is a carbon hardtail built with fat and plus sized tyres in mind.

Based on Wolf Tooth’s knack for clever solutions to ever less standardised bike industry standards, it's not surprising that both the Warakin and Voytek see features that help you to get the most out of the bike.
Both frames hinge around the Otso’s Tuning Chip System, which should allow for creak and slip-free sliding dropouts. The frame’s themselves include a built in sliding dropout and ‘chips’ similar to those seen in some mountain bike rear suspension linkages, which allow for changes in geometry and are used to determine axle position.
