"Named after Dr. Seuss's beloved forest creature/environmentalist, Esker's Lorax is a go-anywhere dropbar bike made for exploring the far-off places that the book's character was hoping to preserve. A staple in the brand's lineup since 2016, Esker is updating its iconic steel dropbar backcountry exploration bike with its new Fork Yeah! steel fork, new colors, specs, and pricing. What's not changing is the adventure-ready frame and features that riders already know and love."
"The Lorax is already well-liked for its 4130 chromoly steel frame that's ready to go the distance, whether on the Tour Divide or your mixed surface commute. The frame fits 29" wheels, has clearance for 2.6" tires, and user-friendly external cable routing for ease of maintenance. The frame and fork are loaded with mounts for frame bags, racks, and all of your other bikepacking necessities, and the Portage Dropout system allows for adjustability or single-speed setups."
"For 2026, Esker is equipping its Lorax framesets and complete bikes with its new Fork Yeah! rigid steel fork. As of now, the Fork Yeah! is only available on the Lorax, but it will be available for purchase separately for $250 starting in May. This change helps bring the starting price of the frameset down to $1,250 and $2,200 for the complete base build."
The Lorax features a 4130 chromoly steel frame built for long-distance backcountry riding and mixed-surface commutes. The frame fits 29-inch wheels, clears up to 2.6-inch tires, and uses external cable routing for easy maintenance. Multiple mounts support frame bags, racks, low-rider mounting, and crown eyelets; the Portage Dropout enables adjustability or single-speed setups. UDH compatibility accommodates modern drivetrains. The new Fork Yeah! rigid 4130 chromoly fork has a 495 mm axle-to-crown length, tapered steerer, 44 mm offset, 15x110 Boost spacing, and clearance for up to 3.0-inch tires. The fork lowers frameset and base build starting prices and will be sold separately for $250 starting in May.
