Gravel

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.

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.
