UNLOCK NEW TERRAIN WITH THIS PROGRESSIVE NEW GRAVEL BIKE FEATURING FRONT SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY. THE LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINIUM FRAME HAS SUSPENSION-OPTIMISED GEOMETRY AND A FLIP CHIP THAT LETS YOU ADJUST WHEELBASE AND TYRE CLEARANCE FOR ANY ADVENTURE.

KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS

SMOOTH CONTROL

LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINIUM FRAMESET IS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR FRONT SUSPENSION. WITH 40MM OF TRAVEL, THE FORK ABSORBS IMPACTS SO YOU CAN RIDE SMOOTHER AND FASTER OVER RUGGED GRAVEL AND DIRT.

TUNED COMPLIANCE

LOWERED SEATSTAYS WITH SMALLER DIAMETER TUBES ABSORB ROAD SHOCKS AND VIBRATIONS. A CONTACT SL XR D-FUSE HANDLEBAR ADDS MORE COMPLIANCE WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE STIFFNESS NEEDED FOR 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 ALSO ALLOWS FOR LARGER DIAMETER TYRES UP TO 53MM. YOU CAN USE THE INCLUDED DROPPER/SUSPENSION SEATPOST FOR ADDED CAPABILITIES, OR SWITCH TO A PROPRIETARY D-FUSE SEATPOST OR TRADITIONAL 30.9MM ROUND SEATPOST.

HIGHLIGHTS

AN ALUXX ALUMINIUM FRAMESET WITH SUSPENSION-OPTIMISED GEOMETRY IS PAIRED WITH A PURPOSE-BUILT SHORT-TRAVEL (40MM) FORK.

A CONTACT SL D-FUSE HANDLEBAR MINIMISES FATIGUE BY FURTHER ABSORBING SHOCKS AND VIBRATIONS.
