This bike is equally at home on the mean streets of big cities across the world, as it is on the open roads spanning continents. A frame design inspired by the versatility, comfort and easy rolling of our 29er mountain bikes makes for a great companion, wherever you're headed. The efficient ride position combined with a light frame, precise-steering aluminium fork and reliable shifting of Shimano's XT transmission turns every road into an adventure. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes and a new, neater luggage rack mounting system give you the versatility to tackle any journey, making the Travel EXC the ideal companion for satisfying your wanderlust.

The Travel EXC deserves the best: a lightweight, efficient, comfortable and durable aluminium frame. It's a 29er-inspired design with clearance for tyres up to 2.25in, which translates into superb comfort, grip and puncture resistance. The tapered head tube and rigid aluminium fork provide precise handling at any speed, even when fully laden. We welded the double butted aluminium tubeset using our proprietary Smooth Welding technique at the head and seat tube junctions, giving the frame an organic appearance that you'll love. With the new, neater rack mounting setup and internally routed cables, its clean looks belie the attention to detail that we've lavished on it. The 3D forged dropout provides a strong mount for the included kickstand, there's a pair of bottle cage mounts and, as you'd expect, our in-house test lab has tested the Travel EXC way beyond the safety standards we expect.
