GRAVEL CRUSHER Now lighter, smoother, and more adaptable to variable conditions and terrain, this reengineered composite gravel bike combines ultra-efficient performance with next-level handling and control. Key Performance Factors: FAST AND VERSATILE Lightweight Advanced-grade composite frame and Advanced SL composite fork combine for race-winning efficiency and smooth control. A two-position flip chip on the rear dropout lets you adjust the wheelbase: short for quicker handling, or long for added tire clearance (up to 53mm) and improved stability. You can use the included D-Fuse seatpost for more flex and compliance, or switch to a traditional 30.9mm round seatpost or dropper post. TUNED COMPLIANCE Dropped seatstays with small-diameter tubing absorb road shocks and vibrations on all types of gravel. The Contact SLR XR D-Fuse carbon handlebar and D-Fuse SLR seatpost help smooth out rough tracks, improving control and minimizing fatigue over long distances. SMART INTEGRATION Internally routed cables offer clean, uncluttered cockpit aesthetics and improved aero performance. An easily accessed storage compartment inside the top tube lets you securely carry tools, snacks, and other essentials. And additional integrated mounts on the top tube, fork, and rear dropout make it easy to modify with additional packs or fenders. All-new, molded chainstay and down tube protection help defend the frame against impacts and quell noise.
