Unlock new terrain with this progressive gravel bike featuring front suspension. The lightweight aluminum frame has suspension-optimized geometry and a flip chip that lets you adjust wheelbase and tire clearance for any adventure.

Smooth control

Lightweight aluminum 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 tires up to 53mm. You can use the included suspension/dropper seatpost for added capabilities, or switch to a proprietary D-Fuse seatpost or traditional 30.9mm round seatpost.
