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.
An ALUXX aluminium frameset with suspension-optimised geometry is paired with a purpose-built short-travel (40mm) fork. A flip chip on the rear dropouts allows you to adjust the wheelbase and increase tyre clearance up to 53mm.You can use the included dropper seatpost, switch to a proprietary D-Fuse seatpost, or use a traditional 30.9mm round seatpost. A Contact SL D-Fuse handlebar minimises fatigue by further absorbing shocks and vibrations.
Features
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

- 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.
