Road

Built for the rigors of America's longest mountain bike race, the Tour Divide-inspired Cutthroat C GRX 600 1x is one of the best bikepacking bikes for long rides through a variety of conditions and surfaces when speed is of the essence. Designed with drop-bar mountain bike geometry and a lightweight carbon frame featuring our Class 5™ VRS for comfortable compliance, Cutthroat is ready to put in big miles on any terrain. Ample cargo mounts let you distribute weight evenly around the bike for maximum maneuverability. Shimano's GRX 600 1x drivetrain provides brilliant braking and shifting with the gear range for gravel flats and mountain passes alike.

For those seeking more than just the "Lightest-stiffest-most aerodynamic" road bike experience, Warroad is just the thing. The agile and full-featured carbon fiber frameset is designed with Class 5 VRS for compliance and composure on the rough stuff. Warroad's endurance road geometry is designed for sustained rides, with ample frame and fork mounts for your all-day ride provisions. Designed to accommodate both 700c and 650b wheels, Warroad riders can set up a second wheelset for changing terrain or preferences. Add Shimano's Ultegra components, renowned for light and smooth shifting, and you've got an all-road bike that feels right in every way.

The road goes on forever and the party never ends. When the Stigmata was resurrected in 2015, we fused a number of MTB standards and design features to create our spin on the modern CX bike. Something must have clicked, because within months of launch it raced to victory at the legendary Three Peaks, and has continued to contend at elite cyclocross races around the world. Nowadays, the internally routed disc brakes, generous tire clearance and thru-axles approach that made the Stigmata famous have become more of a norm, so we took a fresh look at which standards the riders of tomorrow wanted access to today. Threaded bottom brackets remain a perennial favourite across our entire line thanks to their proven robust, cost-effective and compatible design. "If it ain't broke…" ...and it never is. Fender mounts add a bit of CYA, and highlight the Stigmata's ever-widening scope of purpose. We added to that with three bottle cage mounts so that the frame can still hold at least one normal bottle even when running a front triangle bag. Deeper adventures, bigger tires perhaps? The frame now clears up to a 45mm 700c or a 2.1" 650b tire. Marry the latter to our Force/X01 AXS mashup kit and you've got yourself the kind of drop-bar singletrack and gravel rallycat we can all get onboard with. And when it comes to good old-fashioned off-road etiquette, the Stigmata's had some coaching at the Highball school of stiffness, handling, and offroad feel. The carbon layup borrows knowledge gained from not just the Highball, but also Danny MacAskill's trials bike, to produce a ride so law-abiding you'd think HR had sent it on a compliance training course. Geometry plays a big part here too, so we've made tweaks to improve handling for smaller riders and reduce toe overlap. The reworking of the 52/54cm frames means the Stigmata now comfortably suits riders from 5'3" and up. Meanwhile different fork offsets—50mm for the 52-54cm sizes, and 45mm for the 56-61cm sizes—help ensure your little piggies don't go to market on the front wheel. Topped off with tidy details like 12mm front axle, flat mount brakes and build-specific Reserve wheel packages, the Stigmata is designed to let you decide whatever the heck you want this category to be.
