REDEFINING SHORT TRAVEL
TRAIL -T PACK
Squeezing every ounce of performance out of a short travel trail bike was our brief- no compromises on spec’, speed and stability and certainly no shortage of attitude and fun. Combining low and slack geometry with short travel is a revelation and breaks down the boundaries between what’s expected from a short travel bike and what actually can be achieved.

EXTREME GRAVEL
- GPACK
When the gravel runs out and the tech begins the RC429 comes into its own…not a gravel bike but a specialist off-road/travel/bikepacking tool that’s as happy cranking in the miles as it is flicking through the singletrack.

With its GRX transmission paired to custom made Hope wheels and crank the 429 ups the speed and stability whether in carbon rigid or short travel MTB suspension spec’.
