Product Overview
ROUGH ROADS, GRAVEL OR DIRT. HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE TO ROLL, THIS BIKE DOES IT ALL. THE LIGHTWEIGHT, SMOOTH-RIDING COMPOSITE FRAMESET AND ADJUSTABLE WHEELBASE MAKE IT MORE CAPABLE THAN EVER.
KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS
Fast and light
Advanced composite frame and fork save more than 160 grams compared to previous model. Updated geometry includes a lower bottom bracket, longer reach and steeper head tube angle for improved acceleration and climbing.
Tuned compliance
Dropped seatstays with thin tubing absorbs road shocks and vibrations. D-Fuse handlebar and seatpost work as a system to add compliance without sacrificing stiffness while cornering, sprinting or climbing.
Adaptable to the terrain
A flip chip on the rear dropout adjusts the wheelbase: short for quicker handling, or long for improved stability at speed. The long setting allows for larger diameter tires up to 53mm. You can also choose the included D-Fuse seatpost for maximum compliance, or switch to a 30.9mm round or dropper post.
