Origin
Kross developed the Soil to show that a Polish manufacturer could compete in the premium trail/enduro segment dominated by brands like Santa Cruz and Yeti. The proprietary RVS (Revo Virtual Suspension) was engineered in-house and provides genuine geometry adjustability — a feature typically reserved for high-end boutique brands. The Soil debuted at Eurobike to considerable attention and positioned Kross as an engineering-capable manufacturer beyond volume MTB production.
