A lightweight aluminium frame with sleek internal cable routing, a lightweight carbon fork, tubeless-ready Bontrager Kovee 650b wheels and wide 50c tyres for capability and comfort on varied terrain, and a simple, yet durable 1×10 Shimano CUES drivetrain that ditches the front derailleur for easier operation. Don’t worry, the wide-range 11-48 cassette still gives you all the gears you need to conquer hills and crush flats. Plus, powerful disc brakes and mounts for a rack and mudguards.

Upgrade your pedals and love your bike more
Pedals are two of the five touchpoints that connect you with your bike, and even though this bike comes with a pair, upgrading to pedals that boost control and grip will greatly improve your ride. See the pedal guide and find the best pedals for your riding style. We recommend flat pedals for simple versatility.
