The frame and fork’s gravel-friendly clearance offers ample room for the Oval Concepts wheels and puncture-resistant 32mm-wide tires for increased traction on loose surfaces. Experience crisp, quality shifts every time with the Shimano 9-speed drivetrain and enjoy the perfect mix of fast-rolling road gears and easy-spinning versatility with the compact crankset. Tektro disc brakes ensure you have control when stopping on any surface, from smooth tarmac to an uneven trail. Sleek components and saddle from Oval Concepts round out this bike that will help you expand your range and riding options.”
