- nice, but what's the story behind that rear frame design?shapesalad
- The chainstay?
Shorter chainstay with more clearance.deadsperm - such a cool bike. Where do you buy this?Calderone2000
- @calderone: https://alliedcyclew…OBBTKN
- $5,299.00Krassy
- I don't get these gravel bikes. Drop bars and aggressive geometry make sense on the road because I'm going fast.section_014
- On bumpy ass off-road trails (with possible jumps), I want flat bars and shocks.section_014
- Everything is going the way of the long tail. There is a market for this, you should see all the subgenres of MTB there are right now.deadsperm

- No chainslap?Mattjanz3n
- Also wider tire clearance. This bike just won Dirty Kanza. I think in two categories. I don't like the look of it but i like Allied.MrAbominable
- I never understood the drop bars, either. They are the worst for control, imho.formed
- @formed
They are not for better control but efficiency. Getting lower makes you more aerodynamic so you save energy.deadsperm - ^save energy AND increased speed. plus, addl hand positions to reduce fatigue.MrAbominable
- Chainstay lets you change the chain without opening it. Good for carbon drive.lnu
