Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE HARDWARE

Disc Brakes and Shimano Sora: dependable stopping and shifting

Equipped with disc brakes and a Shimano Sora drivetrain, this gravel bike delivers consistent braking and a 9-speed gear range suitable for varied gradients and extended rides.

THE VERSATILITY

From city commutes to long rides on mixed surfaces

Built as a middle ground between a road and cyclocross bike, the gravel frame is set up to handle rough city surfaces, long-distance touring and more technical gravel or dirt sections while offering mounts for racks and bags.

THE FIT & SPECS

Tire clearance, frame sizes and load options

Available in S, M and L, the bike accepts wide tires (up to 700Cx40 mm or 650Bx47 mm), includes pedal fittings and offers rack and bottle-mount points for bikepacking or commuting setups.

What the day feels like

What riding it feels like

The gravel bike is intended to feel like a comfortable, confidence-inspiring tool: quick enough for pavement and stable enough for rougher stretches, with space to carry luggage and accessories for day trips or multi-day touring.
