Highlights
ALUXX Aluminum All-Road Frame
A lightweight aluminum frame with disc brake mounts and thru-axle wheels. Agile on pavement, comfortable enough for light gravel and rough roads.
D-Fuse Alloy Seatpost
The D-shaped seatpost flexes to absorb road buzz, smoothing out rough pavement so your back and legs stay fresh on longer rides.
Shimano Claris 2x8 Drivetrain
Reliable 16-speed shifting covers everything from flat Valley streets to moderate climbs. Proven Shimano durability at an entry-level price.
38mm Tire Clearance
Room for wider tires means you can swap to gravel rubber and explore dirt roads without needing a second bike.
