Comfortable design
The advanced-grade composite frame and fork are specifically designed for endurance riding, providing a smooth, efficient ride quality that minimizes fatigue on long rides.
Total control
The new D-Fuse handlebar features an ergonomic shape and 8 degree flare for greater comfort and control. Wide, hookless carbon rims are optimized for high-volume tubeless tires and provide more stability.
