A:1 Adventure Bike
A:1 Adventure Bike, Any adventure, road or trail, rough or smooth, wet or dry, high or low... we designed our A:1 to be beyond versatile. It's the bike we'd always wanted that we could never find, so we designed it and we built it. An unassuming contender, custom built with all the essential components. It's lightweight and fully adaptable for outfitting, and adventures off the beaten path. Our custom geometry is key, designed to make the A:1 handle quickly, track precisely and carry speed stably over different terrains. The bike feels tough, whilst fluid and agile... it's strength and beauty all in one. The bike hits well above it's weight, already earning a cheeky reputation for race wins.It's just as happy on road as off, but once you're in the saddle the temptation to hit the trail might simply be too much.At the heart of the A:1 is our iconic, classic frame. We built it from scratch, drawing on many life times of riding, from 10 years of experience in our shops. Our frames and forks are manufactured with 6061 aluminum and double butted tubes, subtly varying wall thicknesses and shaping for each tube throughout the bike. Our streamlined frames have been engineered to provide power transfer, along with a remarkably comfortable ride. Our bikes are designed and engineered in every detail.The pinnacle of adventure cycling.The A:1 was an exercise in reduction, stripping away all that was superfluous. From this essential starting point, we designed our double sweep roll: adventure bar, positioning the rider in a relaxed endurance oriented position. In line with modern mountain and cyclocross bikes, a 1x10 drive train and single thumb shifter provides rapid, sequential gear changes as terrain changes. Disc brakes offer performance far beyond traditional rim brakes and we use superior sealed cartridge bearings throughout, for longevity and resilience. The components we use to create our bikes are anything but 'standard'.Built with more than meets the eye.roll: custom designed 6061 aluminum frame and forks are the foundation for a light, quick handling, and stable ride in every bike we build.6 different color options of frame and fork and 2 different component colors for you to create and personalize your own ride.roll: men's and women's specific contact points, unique to each style of build, provide optimal handling and comfort.Sealed bearing hubs, headset and bottom brackets for superior performance and long life, with minimum maintenance.Tektro MD-M300 cable actuated disc brakes for powerful and consistent stopping power in all weather and conditions.SRAM Via Centro 1x10 drivetrain, with a single trigger shifter for maximum gear range with minimum weight, and simple maintenance.Detailed SpecificationsFrameLight weight, double butted 6061 aluminum, with internal cable routing.ForkHydro-formed 6061 aluminum disc specific, with alloy steerer tube.HeadsetVP alloy semi integrated with sealed cartridge bearingsRims700c 32hole double wall anodized alloy.HubsPolished aluminum disc, sealed cartridge bearings, bolt on QR Skewers.SpokesStainless steel 14g spokes stainless steel nipples.Tires700x40mm Kenda K1152 Flintridge Dual Tread.Disc brakesTektro MD-M300, mechanical disc brake, with 160mm TR-1 Rotor.Brake LeversTektro CL-530 with cushioned lever insert.ShifterSRAM Via Centro 10 Speed 1x10 trigger shifter.Rear DerailleurSRAM Via Centro 10 Speed 1x10 long cage.Rear CassetteSRAM PG-1030 10 speed 11-36 PowerGlide II.Front Chainring42 Tooth machined alloy, 3/32"CranksetForged 6061 aluminum polished crank arms, with alloy chain guard.ChainKMC X10-93 10 speed, silver.Bottom BracketAlloy shell with sealed cartridge bearings, square taper steel axle.PedalsNylon platform with sealed bearings.SaddleMen's / women's Road Saddle, with steel rails.Seat PostAluminum alloy 30.9mm diameter with 12.9mm offset.Stem3D Forged aluminum alloy, +/- 7 degree riseHandlebar6061 Aluminum A:1 Adventure bar, 710mm wide, 20.0Adeg sweep, 5.0Adeg riseGripsErgonomic krayton grips with integrated bar ends.WeightApprox. 23lbs based on a Size 2 frame and fork.
