XX - Road/Gravel
XX
The XX is a single bike for road and gravel. Designed for riders who want performance on any surface, it delivers speed and control without the need for multiple bikes.
From fast-paced road rides to rough gravel trails, the XX adapts with confidence. It is a refined and versatile machine that removes the need to choose between disciplines.
Built for everything
The XX blends road speed with gravel capability. Its geometry is tuned for precision, keeping handling sharp on tarmac and composed on rough terrain.
Precision handling
A shorter wheelbase and chainstays create a direct, responsive ride. It reacts instantly, corners with confidence, and remains stable at speed while staying agile in tight sections.
Clearance to go further
Tyre clearance up to 45mm unlocks true versatility. Run 28mm to 32mm tyres for pure road speed, or oversized road tyres from 35mm to 45mm for added comfort and grip on rougher backroads. For more demanding terrain, high-volume gravel tyres unlock the off-road potential of the platform.
Clean by design
Minimal mounts and a stripped-back design create a clean, purposeful aesthetic. Nothing unnecessary to distract from the ride.
Custom artisan paint
Our custom artisan paint options allow the XX to be tailored to your identity. Whether subtle or bold, every finish is hand-applied and tuned to perfectly match you and your riding.
Beyond the boundaries
The XX blurs traditional categories. It offers true all-road capabilities, be it road or gravel, in one refined machine built exactly how you want it.
