New progressive geometry

For quick, nimble handling that still keeps you stable and in control on rougher descents.

Tire clearance

Lots of clearance means you can run meatier tires (700x45mm or 27.5x2.1") for tackling chunkier gravel and terrain.

Tons of mounts

Integrated frame bag and fender mounts make it easy to carry gear and water.

Don’t forget your pedals

This bike doesn’t come with pedals because you’ll have a better time on your new bike if you choose your own. See the pedal guide to find the best pedals for your riding style.
