TECHNICAL INFORMATION

A sturdy, comfortable frame

We designed this triple-butted aluminum frame for maximum strength, solidity and comfort. Tested over 500,000 km on every continent and in all weathers. Internal cable routing, 33 inserts on frame and fork to attach all your accessories and luggage racks. Compatible with all luggage racks on the market, removable rear derailleur hanger.

Luggage rack

To carry your belongings, we've developed a unique rear rack of incomparable sturdiness. It attaches to the bike's rear stays with 6 screws, allowing you to carry up to 40 kilos of luggage or mount a baby carrier. This unique choice of design also avoids the screw breakage that plagues many bicycle travelers.
You can also equip your bike with a front rack designed specifically for this model (part no. 8646746).
