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.
