Slate SE Apex 1 Gravel Bike (2019)

Features

-A full-tilt road bike with legitimate off-road chops, the Slate brings a whole new dimension of hard-cornering, curb-hopping, trail-shredding fun to the concept of road-riding

-Massive 42c tires on 650b wheels give you the same rollout diameter as a 700 x 23c wheel for proper road-bike speed, but with unreal cornering grip, traction and comfort

-Geometry with short chainstays give it snappy quickness, while a slack head angle and long front-center keep things stable for off-road excursions

-With the big-volume tires, plush SAVE rear triangle and Lefty Oliver suspension fork, the Slate is magically smooth over bumps and chatter

-Despite its burly look, it weighs less than a kilo more than comparable road bikes, and it carries speed like a traditional (but bizarrely smooth) road bike

-Fork Travel: 30 millimeters

-Pedals not included
