DESCRIPTION
In-Store Pickup 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 tires up to 53mm. You can choose the included dropper/suspension seatpost for added capabilities, or switch to a 30.9mm round seatpost.

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.
We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
