Road

Almost anything goes in gravel racing and riding. It’s a mixed-up challenge of speed, endurance and handling. This high-performance all-rounder does it all. It’s smooth, it’s efficient, and it’s your new best friend for pushing limits on roads, gravel and dirt. From remote mountain passes to endless gravel rollers, smooth dirt to rutted backroads, this new all-rounder helps you conquer it all with speed and comfort. The Advanced-grade composite frame combines lightweight efficiency with smooth compliance—so you can hammer out long rides with more comfort and less fatigue. A full composite fork helps soak up bumps, while the D-Fuse seatpost and Contact SLR D-Fuse handlebar dampen shocks and vibrations before they reach your body. The frame is integrated for disc brakes and has added clearance for high-volume tires, up to 45c, giving you smooth confidence on rugged terrain. This model also features the new 12-speed SRAM Force eTap AXS groupset, delivering cutting-edge drivetrain technology with a broad range of gears, wireless electronic shifting performance, and the SRAM AXS app that allows you to view battery status and personalize controls.
