The Allroad Model A/1 embodies the true notion of a more capable all roads bike. Designed for gravel, dirt, pavement, mud, and all other types of adventure “roads.”
Everything has been intelligently considered and incorporated into an adventure machine you will not want to stop riding: weight reduction, more durable componentry, variable wheel size compliance, corrosion-proof inner and outer tube coating, and, most importantly, redefined superior fit and feel.
These advantages have been carefully engineered into one bike to provide for a ride feel that will drive you to roam farther across every terrain. The geometry of the A/1 enables the bike to be both a comfortable gravel grinder and an efficient and fast grand tourer.
