The Onza Jackpot gets tried and tested in issue 42 of IMB This bike is all about the frame. It is a fantastic bit of design and engineering masterminded by a small group of people who really know their stuff.

The Payoff is like a hipster with a Macbook — trendy, up to date but with retro styling. To start with, the bike has a single-ring drivetrain with no provision for anything as uncool and cluttering as a front mech. Onza uses its own brand narrow-wide 32t chainring, too. The frame itself is made from good-old-fashioned 4130 cro-mo steel, but it’s been electroplated to prevent corrosion. It’s sometimes beautiful and sometimes a bit odd looking: the modern tapered head tube sits at odds with the skinny tubes it butts up against. Then there’s the big forged yoke at the confluence...

As a complete bike, it has some compromises, but Onza’s superbly detailed and versatile steel trail frame is a beauty. Onza’s Jackpot (and the 29er/27.5+ Payoff) are beautifully detailed, very versatile, steel frames that ride every bit as good as they look.
