  • Customer Charlie with Neuhaus Metalworks Hummingbird Core

    The Neuhaus Hummingbird is on a whole other level. Not only can I ride from my garage to the trailhead comfortably and efficiently but once I’m on the trail it’s pushing me to ride more confidently, harder and on more technical terrain. The Hummingbird lights up on punchy, rooty/rocky climbs - holding traction when it doesn’t feel like it’s possible, and it is super playful and easy to throw around when negotiating technical terrain at speed. Coming from a different progressive steel hardtail with all the same parts this bike is noticeably more compliant and gets more compliments on the trail (seriously, people wont stop asking me about the paint).

  • Neuhaus Metalworks Hummingbird Custom review image from Eli

    I’ve worked in the bike industry, owned several custom geometry frames, and have been building bikes for the better part of 15 years.  This frame is pure magic! In the past 9 months of owning this bike I have regained my true love for riding bikes — I’m not generally the emotional type,  but I look forward to a very long relationship with this beautiful machine.

  • Neuhaus Metalworks Hummingbird Ti Review image from Doug

    I’ve had a steel Surly Krampus fork on the bike for a couple months now and I REALLY enjoy the way it handles and rides. It was also really handy on a bikepacking trip with the extra bosses and for road riding.

    Doug W · Hummingbird Ti

  • Nick helped me figure out what size Hummingbird to go with. I asked him a lot of questions and took a lot of his time. He was extremely helpful and responded quickly every time, even on weekends. I have had many bikes and have worked in the bike industry for many years, this level of customer service is rare. Not only was the customer service top notch but the Hummingbird core frame is extremely nice. It rides fantastic and is a ton of fun on my local trails. Thank you to Nick and the team for taking extremely good care of me!
