Why You’ll Love It
6061-T6 triple-butted aluminium frame with rack, mud-guard & bottle mounts: stout enough for bike-packing yet a lively 1.6 kg chassis.
Full-carbon fork tames chatter and keeps weight low; internal hose routing plus low-rider eyelets.
SRAM Rival HRD 1×11 groupset: hydraulic power, clutch mech, and 42 T X-Sync chain-ring for bomb-proof chain security.
Wide-range 11–42 T cassette paired with a long-cage Rival derailleur—enough for the Ngong Hills without a front derailleur to fuss over.
Flat-mount 160 mm disc brakes front & rear for confident stopping in Nairobi rains.
Fluoro-Green finish with Big Ben “London Road” graphics—turns heads from CBD to Karatina.
Versatility built-in: clearance for 700 × 38 c (stock) or 650b × 47 mm, plus hidden fender & rack bosses for wet-season commuting.
