Touring

With the ability to carry serious loads, triple mounts on the forks and three separate bottle cage fixings allow you to carry as much as you need with you. The Hook EXT C comes complete with a carbon frame and V2 carbon fork with triple cage mounts for speedier off-road raids. Sram provides the bike's 10 – 42T XD cassette for a great range of gears, so you can keep the pace high over whichever surface you decide to tear across. Our friends at Hunt handle the hoops, providing the bike with a tubeless-ready Adventure Sport 27.5" wheelset. Finished with head-turning tan-wall WTB Venture tires, onlookers will have to be quick if they want to catch a glimpse as you fly through the undergrowth. It comes in this year's glossy metallic black colorway, too.

The Audax, with its slender steel frame, light carbon fork, and many mounts for luggage, will let you take long-distance riding to the limit. As the kilometers roll by, hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power while a sub-compact chainset handles propulsion. A combination of WTB Horizon and Byway tires are fast-rolling over gravel, mud, or dirt. The integrated rear light mount brings discipline into the modern age. Topped off with Ritchey finishing kit, you’ll reach the coast before this bike gives up. Fast on tarmac, and smooth over broken ground, its broad tires contain enough air to carry you and your kit comfortably above a range of surfaces.

The Nuroad C:62 Pro combines the comfort and low weight of a full carbon gravel chassis with Shimano's gravel-specific GRX 2x12 groupset, giving you everything you need to explore further afield in a huge range of closely spaced gears. The Newmen Advanced G.34 wheelset is the ideal home for a pair of super-grippy Schwalbe tyres. Add the power of Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes and the comfort of a full carbon fork, and you're all out of excuses. Where will it take you next weekend?

Our Beyond+ ADV is the ultimate offroad adventure machine, designed to keep rolling on its enormous 29 x 3’’ WTB Ranger tyres. Whether pumped harder for speed or softer for loose conditions, they will make light work of any and all trails. The ADV’s steel double butted frame is dropper post compatible and suspension corrected, and should you wish to experiment, it has all the mounting points you could ask for and more.

If the wilderness beckons, the Arise Tour won’t stand in your way with its twin Tubus racks, mudguards and Supernova dynamo lights. Regardless of load, the Ames sub-compact 30 / 46T crankset and generous 11 – 42T cassette mean you’ll always have enough gears to tackle those steeper gradients. For a modern touch, flared bars allow for added packing space as well as sturdier handling while riding on the drops. For touring purists, bar-end shifters give you peace of mind over more complicated combination shifters. The distance-orientated Arise Tour's racks, mudguards, and dynamo lights help to escape far beyond the limits of the city.

This bike will take you further. Designed with the support of our family of field testers, the Beyond 2 is the natural evolution of the Beyond 1. Tried and tested fast-rolling wheels, multiple mounting points, and a range of gears remain. A Supernova dynamo lighting system joins the bike’s features, so you never have to charge your batteries – ideal for excursions that go that little bit further. And at the front, a demi-porteur rack supports more cargo space that doesn’t compromise steering and handling. A new version of our continent-crossing adventure tourer with a specification based on feedback from users in the field.

Which to choose: speed or storage space? You can have both with a Hook. With an able steel frame and carbon fork, this bike is fast and versatile. Size-matched 650B or 700C wheels across the sizes provide control and comfort, while the Shimano GRX groupset and double crankset give you a close ratio with a broad range of gears. Take your pick from a range of fixing points, including a direct mount for a top tube bag, triple cage mounts, rear rack and fender. Or, leave it stripped back and fly. The Hook might have been designed as a gravel racer, but that doesn’t stop it from also being a perfect tourer, commuter, or even summer-season crossbike.

Made to cross countries and continents via all kinds of roads and trackways... The Beyond 1 serves as the perfect first bike for fledgling adventurists. With tires as wide as a mountain bike accompanied by a 28 / 40T chainset, this bike will be able to reach wherever you’ve plotted on the map. Leverage-boosting bars provide added control, and an eye-watering selection of mounting points mean you won’t need to leave anything at home. Its simplicity makes it easy to service, too.

Lively when ridden unloaded, the Beyond+ remains stable once laden with bikepacking bags. Taking off-road riding to its limits, the Beyond+ won’t take no for an answer. 2.8’’ tubeless ready tyres, as well as 27.5’’ diameter wheels, which will cruise over anything – a joy to ride unloaded but just as capable with a full rack of bike packing equipment. Powered by a Sram 12-speed SX Eagle groupset, only gradients close to vertical will be unmanageable, thanks to the impressive 11 – 50T cassette. And when you do crest the summit at a remarkable speed, twin-piston Level hydraulic brakes will stop the bike in an instant. With dropper post routing and suspension-corrected geometry, you can add both later if desired.

If you’re looking for a rigid adventure bike that you can also chuck around in the woods and isn’t phased by technical singletrack, then our Beyond+ is spot on. Starting with a double butted steel suspension corrected frame with a quad-butted ovalized downtube and matching Seido Steel BPS fork, this is the 4 x 4 of the Beyond line, capable of swallowing huge 29-inch tires on wide 35 mm rims for that go anywhere experience. Both frame and fork come with multiple mounting points, including offset triple cage mounts on the seat stays and forward-facing mounts on the fork for maximum clearance.

A modern twist on an age-old discipline, the Audax AL is an accomplished bicycle. Wide, generous tires confidently roll over any surface, guided by a carbon fork to reduce weight with plenty of clearance to accommodate wider treads plus mudguards. Take your pick on how to distribute your cargo with multiple mounting fixings across the frame and fork, as well as options for panniers and bike packing bags. Short chainstays and an engaged front end make for a responsive bike geometry, which feels alert and responsive even when fully loaded. To complete the bike, 650B wheels, a Microshift XLE 11-speed groupset, and a clutch derailleur ensure comfort and reliability wherever you point your nose. Employing short chainstays, it's a bike that's happy to change lanes quickly, but yet remains solidly planted thanks to a larger-than-average contact patch.

With a full range of mounts and braze-ons across its fork and frame, it's happy to accept either panniers or bike packing bags. The Beyond AL is our aluminum equivalent from the range. The heavily hydro-formed tube profile and fork come with internal light cable routing, complete with fender, rack, and triple cage mounts for overnight trips. The Beyond AL is front derailleur compatible for those preferring a more comprehensive range of gearing options up the front. All sizes come with 12mm through-axles on the front and rear, besides size-matched 27.5" wheels on the size S option to ensure efficient geometry across the range.

Less can sometimes be more, which is why, for the Nuroad EX, we chose Shimano's gravel-specific GRX 1x12 gears – for a wide range of ratios with minimal fuss. A Newmen Performance 25 gravel wheelset shod with light, tough and grippy Continental Terra Trail 45mm tyres – and Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes – keep you in full control, all of the time. There's a vibration-filtering, full carbon fork for ride-all-day comfort. And a full complement of rack mounts – both front and rear – makes it easy to equip your Nuroad EX for anything from the daily commute to weekend adventures.

You’re looking for a smooth ride across mixed terrain. Fun is the main goal. You’re a fan of steel. You have discerning taste but aren’t caught up in trends. You want a bike that looks good, rides great, and will last you a lifetime. You’re the person that buys a great product at a great price. Look no further than the Rove DL. It’s been a workhorse for years. It delivers every ounce of performance without overpaying for it while checking all the boxes for functionality, comfort, and style.

To create the Nuroad we took inspiration from our race and cyclocross bikes, then threw a little mountain bike DNA into the mix. There's plenty of clearance for big, grippy and comfortable 45mm tyres – or 40mm if you run mudguards at the same time. There's an integrated seat clamp, exceptionally tidy rack, guard and kickstand mounts, and neat Internal Cable Routing to keep gear shifts grit- and mud-free for longer. Thru-axle wheels improve steering accuracy, even on the roughest roads. The full carbon fork isn't just lightweight – it also helps reduce vibration from the road and features lowrider rack mounts. And, with an extended size range running from XXS to XL, we're confident that pretty much any rider can find their perfect Nuroad.

Ride roads, gravel or dirt with this versatile aluminum all-rounder. A composite fork gives it a smooth ride, and a flip chip lets you adjust wheelbase and tire clearance. Key Performance Factors Confident handling: Frame is designed with endurance positioning and shorter chainstays for precise handling, agility and control. A longer reach, shorter stem and lower bottom bracket drop improves stability on rugged terrain. Tuned compliance: Dropped seatstays with thin tubing absorb road shocks and vibrations. The D-Fuse handlebar and seatpost work as a system to add compliance without sacrificing stiffness while cornering, sprinting or climbing. Adaptable to the terrain: A flip chip on the rear dropout adjusts the wheelbase: short for quicker handling and acceleration, or long for improved stability at speed. The long setting allows for larger diameter tires up to 53mm. You can choose the included D-Fuse seatpost for maximum compliance, or switch to a 30.9mm round or dropper post.

The road ahead isn't always smooth, but your bike needn't hold you back. The versatile Nuroad ONE's full carbon fork is comfortable and lightweight, and features lowrider mounts for a luggage carrier. Powerful disc brakes give you the stopping power you need, in any weather. Smooth-shifting, wide-ranging 1x10 gears put the right ratio for any route at your fingertips. Tough, fast-rolling and comfortable Schwalbe Gravelland tyres grip tenaciously. And a frame that's designed to adapt to your needs means that whether you're commuting or touring, the Nuroad has got you covered.
