Gravel/Road

The Gestalt is for the drop bar rider that doesn't want to stick to pavement and can't help but get dirty no matter the route. Long distance commuters and all-weather riders will appreciate features like fender and rack mounts, sure stopping disc brakes, and the comfort larger volume tires provide on unexpected detours. - Series 2 Beyond Road alloy frame - Aluminum fork - Marin aluminum double-wall rims, tubeless-compatible - Shimano Claris 2x8 gearing - Promax cable disc brakes

A DROP BAR BIKE FOR BIG GRAVEL, BIG CLIMBS, AND BIG ADVENTURES You’re the type of rider who wants something progressive that still performs well on typical terrain. Road. Gravel. Singletrack? The Libre takes the traditional, flips it on its side and adds a little je ne sais quois to your rides to make them a whole lot of fun. It’s lighter than your old “gravel” rig, and has more aggressive geometry so that when you decide to skip the pavement you can chuckle your way down the unbeaten path without apologies. It’s affordable, a little bit weird, and exactly how we want our gravel bike to feel.

Made to cross countries and continents via all kinds of roads and trackways... The Beyond 1 serves as the perfect first bike for fledgling adventurists. With tires as wide as a mountain bike accompanied by a 28 / 40T chainset, this bike will be able to reach wherever you’ve plotted on the map. Leverage-boosting bars provide added control, and an eye-watering selection of mounting points mean you won’t need to leave anything at home. Its simplicity makes it easy to service, too.

Which to choose: speed or storage space? You can have both with a Hook. With an able steel frame and carbon fork, this bike is fast and versatile. Size-matched 650B or 700C wheels across the sizes provide control and comfort, while the Shimano GRX groupset and double crankset give you a close ratio with a broad range of gears. Take your pick from a range of fixing points, including a direct mount for a top tube bag, triple cage mounts, rear rack and fender. Or, leave it stripped back and fly. The Hook might have been designed as a gravel racer, but that doesn’t stop it from also being a perfect tourer, commuter, or even summer-season crossbike.

If the wilderness beckons, the Arise Tour won’t stand in your way with its twin Tubus racks, mudguards and Supernova dynamo lights. Regardless of load, the Ames sub-compact 30 / 46T crankset and generous 11 – 42T cassette mean you’ll always have enough gears to tackle those steeper gradients. For a modern touch, flared bars allow for added packing space as well as sturdier handling while riding on the drops. For touring purists, bar-end shifters give you peace of mind over more complicated combination shifters. The distance-orientated Arise Tour's racks, mudguards, and dynamo lights help to escape far beyond the limits of the city.

This bike will take you further. Designed with the support of our family of field testers, the Beyond 2 is the natural evolution of the Beyond 1. Tried and tested fast-rolling wheels, multiple mounting points, and a range of gears remain. A Supernova dynamo lighting system joins the bike’s features, so you never have to charge your batteries – ideal for excursions that go that little bit further. And at the front, a demi-porteur rack supports more cargo space that doesn’t compromise steering and handling. A new version of our continent-crossing adventure tourer with a specification based on feedback from users in the field.

The Audax, with its slender steel frame, light carbon fork, and many mounts for luggage, will let you take long-distance riding to the limit. As the kilometers roll by, hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power while a sub-compact chainset handles propulsion. A combination of WTB Horizon and Byway tires are fast-rolling over gravel, mud, or dirt. The integrated rear light mount brings discipline into the modern age. Topped off with Ritchey finishing kit, you’ll reach the coast before this bike gives up. Fast on tarmac, and smooth over broken ground, its broad tires contain enough air to carry you and your kit comfortably above a range of surfaces.

Are you heading down the path least travelled? For a drop handlebar bike, the Hook EXT seldom faces terrain it cannot handle. A Columbus steel frame, a dedicated carbon fork and a sturdy 27.5’’ wheelset equip the EXT with an armoury to ride where other bikes would surely suffer. A Sram 1x11 Rival groupset suitably gives this machine the gears and brakes to match. As capable on backcountry campouts as it is on post-work blasts, the Hook EXT remains the choice when you’re unsure of the terrain, but know you want to have fun riding it.

With the ability to carry serious loads, triple mounts on the forks and three separate bottle cage fixings allow you to carry as much as you need with you. The Hook EXT C comes complete with a carbon frame and V2 carbon fork with triple cage mounts for speedier off-road raids. Sram provides the bike's 10 – 42T XD cassette for a great range of gears, so you can keep the pace high over whichever surface you decide to tear across. Our friends at Hunt handle the hoops, providing the bike with a tubeless-ready Adventure Sport 27.5" wheelset. Finished with head-turning tan-wall WTB Venture tires, onlookers will have to be quick if they want to catch a glimpse as you fly through the undergrowth. It comes in this year's glossy metallic black colorway, too.

The versatile Hook EXT TI distils the rough-and-ready yet comfortable nature of the Hook collection. Light and responsive, the titanium frame partners alongside a V2 carbon fork with triple cage mounts, as well as a multitude of luggage configurations for added cargo options. Fitted with Shimano’s latest electronic GRX Di2 groupset, a double crankset provides close-ratios but a wide range. Making tubeless set-up easy, its lightweight WTB EZR rims and fast rolling WTB Ranger TCS Light tyres provide excellent speed and traction across mixed conditions. This agile adventure bike is the perfect companion for technical backcountry raids.
