The gravel frame optimized for massive tires and inspired by simplicity: round 27.2mm seatpost and external cables for maximum ease of maintenance.
Perfect Aero Cutout
Close-fitting cutout to shield the rear wheel and achieve the most speed.
Mind The Gap
No oversized gaps between front tire & downtube for better airflow transition and less turbulence.
Huge Clearance
The original Exploro set today's standard for up to 51mm tire clearance. The Ultra has up to 61mm (650b tires)!
60mm Downtube Neck
Upper downtube necks down to 60mm to pick up the airflow coming off the front tire.
75mm Downtube Base
Lower downtube aero profile is 75mm wide to fully shield water bottle.
Size-Specific Downtube
Reduced depth on smaller sizes to keep frame compliant and keep space for bottles.
Minimalist Crown
Fork crown shapes haven't changed much since brakes were attached there. Now that we have disc brakes, we don't need that bulk of material and can reshape the crown for better strength, stiffness and weight. Plus better aerodynamics.
Pure-Road Fork Length
With the shorter crown, we can make our forks 25mm (1 inch) shorter than other gravel bikes. Exactly the same as a road fork. This offers better stiffness, lower weight, an easier steering geometry and better aerodynamics.
Double-Drop Chainstays
Dropping the drive-side chainstay improves tire & crank clearance. Dropping the other side as well creates a much more efficient structure behind the BB for higher stiffness & strength as well as lower weight.
Direct-Mount Rear Brake
Standard frames require an adaptor to use a 160mm brake rotor. We have integrated that into the frame, meaning you don’t need any extra pieces to attach the brake.
Direct-Mount Front Brake
Standard forks require a flip-flop adaptor to set the correct brake rotor size. Our direct-mount pre-sets the caliper for 160mm rotors without any extra pieces.
Integrated Fender Mounts
Invisible until you need them. Perfect for our custom fenders.
Self-Aligning Wedge Clamp
Self-adjusting bolt angle for higher clamping forces with lower torque.
Aero Seattube + Rounf Seatpost
The seattube is kept aero yet it fits a round 27.2mm seatpost so you have many round, dropper or suspension post options.
