Ride roads, gravel or dirt with this versatile aluminum all-rounder. A composite fork gives it a smooth ride, and a flip chip lets you adjust wheelbase and tire clearance.

Confident handling

Frame is designed with endurance positioning and shorter chainstays for precise handling, agility and control. A longer reach, shorter stem and lower bottom bracket drop improves stability on rugged terrain.

Tuned compliance

Dropped seatstays with thin tubing absorb road shocks and vibrations. The 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 and acceleration, or long for improved stability at speed. The long setting allows for larger diameter tires up to 53mm. You can choose the included D-Fuse seatpost for maximum compliance, or switch to a 30.9mm round or dropper post.
