**AVAILABLE FOR IN-STORE COLLECTION ONLY**
WASHBOARD DESCENTS, SKETCHY DIRT, GRAVEL AND ROCKS OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU’LL GET ON A GRAVEL RIDE. THIS COMPOSITE GRAVEL MACHINE HAS FRONT SUSPENSION AND ENGINEERED COMPLIANCE TO HELP YOU FLOAT THROUGH IT ALL WITH SPEED AND CONTROL.
Smooth control
Composite frameset is designed specifically for front suspension. With 40mm of travel, the fork absorbs impacts so you can ride smoother and faster on 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.

Weight
The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
