Built to tackle any gravel or dirt road adventure with comfortable confidence, the EVO features high-quality components and features such as subcompact, Cruise/Climb gearing and ample storage for those long explorations into the unknown. At the heart of it is our DSW technology, which strategically places more welding material where it's needed, resulting in an aluminium bike that's more compliant and considerably stiffer. How stiff, exactly? It's one of the stiffest alloy bike we've ever tested. Drawing inspiration from the Rider-First Engineered™ philosophy, this frame has a unique down tube, bottom bracket shell, and head tube. This ensures uniform performance across the entyre size run. Making sure every single watt you produce gets transferred to the road, we built the EVO around our Women's Endurance Geometry. This ensures that you stay comfortable and confident over any kind of terrain, while also giving a lower standover to make getting on/off the bike, as well as putting a foot down, as easy as can be. For the build, we spec'd it with powerful hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano 105 11-speed shifting, fast-rolling Axis Elite Disc wheels, and a vibration damping CG-R seatpost.
