The newly released Landyachtz Play Bike 2.0 is designed as a versatile hardtail for ripping around town, trail riding, and bikepacking—with complete builds starting at just $1,399 CAD. Check it out here…

A few months ago, I paid a visit to Landyachtz Bikes in Vancouver, BC, and got my first glimpse of their new Play Bike 2.0. It’s their first non-custom hardtail, designed as a mountain touring bike that can shred trails after you’ve set up camp. It comes in two builds: the first is a rigid single-speed, and the second is an upgrade to a front suspension fork and a 12-speed SRAM NX drivetrain. It is a bit of a chameleon in that it can adapt to fit your needs. Since it features sliding rear dropouts, you can run it geared or single-speed on either 27.5″ or 29″ wheels. It’s designed to accommodate either a rigid or suspension fork, with the stock build specced with a 140mm travel RockShox 35 Gold.

The 4130 Chromoly steel frame and fork are externally routed, have boost hub spacing, and the frame has dropper post routing. It has two standard bottle mounts inside the main triangle, a third under the downtube, and the rigid build has three-pack mounts on the fork legs. Find complete builds for both the rigid Play Bike 2.0 and Play Bike 2.0 Trail Edition below.
