Introducing Hudski Bikes and the New Hudski Doggler

Founded by childhood friends Will Hudson and Brian Szykowny, Hudski is a new bike brand based in Sausalito, California. Before designing bikes, the two founded Cannonball Studio, an interior and lighting design company. Fuelled by their shared love of bikes, the two transitioned their focus to Hudski. Their first bike, the Hudski Doggler, is based around “durable mountain bike components to maximize the versatility and stoke of a rigid bike.” Hudski has created three unique builds based around the same aluminum frame and carbon fork: the Doggler City, Doggler Gravel, and Doggler Mountain. Scroll down to learn more and watch their launch video.

Here’s a video they put together of the Hudski Doggler in Taiwan…

Hudski Doggler City

The Hudski Doggler City build is perfect for city paths and rough roads, making it a great option for semi-rural touring missions and daily commuting.

Hudski Doggler Gravel

The Hudski Doggler Gravel build pushes the capabilities of a modern gravel bike. It’s ideal for rough service roads, dirt road bikepacking, and flowy mountain bike trails. It includes a PNW dropper seat post, SLX 1×12 group set, Hudski Longhorn 16 sweep bars, Maxxis Rambler EXO 700x50mm tires, and 25mm inner width rims that are tubeless ready. It weighs approximately 24.2 pounds.

Hudski Doggler Mountain

Although it may look like a 90’s mountain bike, the Hudski Doggler Mountain build takes advantage of modern specs and high volume tires to make it suitable for rough trails and bikepacking. It includes a PNW dropper seat post, SLX 1×12 group set, Hudski Longhorn 16 sweep bars, Maxxis Rekon EXO 27.5×2.6″ tires, and 30mm inner width rims that are tubeless ready. It weighs approximately 24.9 pounds.

All three builds retail for $2,000 USD, with preorders going live tomorrow at 6:00am PST. Each Hudski Doggler comes in four sizes in your choice of three color options: Almost Black, Atomic Haystack, and Olive Rose. Although the frameset isn’t available yet, Hudski has plans to offer it in March 2021 complete with a fork, Chris King headset, Chris King bottom bracket, Hudski top cap, Salsa seat post collar, and necessary frame hardware.
