It's right for you if...

The tech you get
A sturdy aluminum frame with a progressive geometry that's stable at speed and efficiency when you're grinding up a climb, hidden cables that won't interfere with bags, rack and mudguard mounts and integrated frame bag mounts, a 2x11 Shimano GRX drivetrain with lower gears for grinding up hills or through rough gravel, hydraulic disc brakes for all-condition stopping power, tubeless-ready rims and wide 700x40c gravel tires for added stability and traction.
