The integrated bar that replaces it has a number of benefits, and you aren’t as completely locked in as before, but it does have its own set of limitations.
I did a video on the bike back at Unbound Gravel in June, where it was piloted to the wins of both the 200 and the 100-mile women’s races. Since then, we’ve been seeing it with a jumbled paint scheme at races around the world – including gravel worlds where Kasia Niewiadoma won on it on Saturday.
I got this bike under an NDA a couple of weeks ago, and have done a few hundred miles on it.
In this video, tell you what’s new, what’s different, how it compares to other gravel race bikes. What I like about the bike, what I don’t like, and what you should consider if you are considering buying one.
