The progressive, low and long frame geometry is tailored specifically for control and handling on rugged terrains - and comfort is further enhanced with the tyre clearance: up to 45mm for 700c or 47mm for 650b hoops. The frame has internal cable routing and comes with a matt colourway and gloss details - but custom colours are available.
The Gravel 725 models can take all the bike packing gear you might want to attach, with multiple mounts for bottles, fork cages and rear racks.
