RIDE ROADS, GRAVEL OR DIRT WITH THIS VERSATILE ALUMINIUM ALL-ROUNDER. A COMPOSITE FORK GIVES IT A SMOOTH RIDE, AND A FLIP CHIP LETS YOU ADJUST WHEELBASE AND TIRE CLEARANCE.
KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS
Confident handling
Frame is designed with endurance positioning and shorter chain stays for precise handling, agility and control. A longer reach, shorter stem and lower bottom bracket drop improves stability on rugged terrain.
Tuned compliance
Dropped seat stays with thin tubing absorb road shocks and vibrations. The D-Fuse handlebar* and seat post work as a system to add compliance without sacrificing stiffness while cornering, sprinting or climbing. *On select models
Adaptable to the terrain
A flip chip on the rear dropout adjusts the wheelbase short for quicker handling and acceleration, or long for improved stability at speed. The long setting allows for larger diameter tyres up to 53mm. You can choose the included D-Fuse seatpost for maximum compliance, or switch to a 30.9mm round or dropper post.
