If you want to take on a new challenge by mixing in some gravel riding or if you are already an adept on the hardscrabble "roads" used in today's events, the BREED is your ticket to performance. The durable aluminum frame is paired with a carbon fork to offer a dynamic platform that's ultra-adaptable and capable for epic rides and races. Simply by design, the BREED offers a no-nonsense ride primed for you and all that a course can dish out.
The BREED comes standard with 700c hoops which, combined with its plush gravel tires, preserves the BREED's geometry for a road bike feel but with extra cushioning for off-road trails. The BREED can also be outfitted with mountain bike-inspired 650b wheels if that's preferred. With 650b wheels, the BREED can accept up to 2.1-inch-wide tires; with 700c wheels, there's room for up to 45mm tires.
The BREED features top tube spot to directly mount a bag for your extra gravel gear. The two-bolt setup features standard water bottle cage spacing, which gives riders the freedom to utilize a wide selection of aftermarket storage solutions. For bad weather and commuting, the BREED comes with a hardware kit that fits most aftermarket fenders and hidden rack mounts.
Yes, there are more bottom-bracket standards than you can shake a stick at. But we love the BREED's T47 set-up. It has all the benefits of old-school threaded bottom-brackets, like creak-free performance and easy maintenance. But it also uses the latest technology to maximize stiffness for putting down all the watts. It's durable and gets the job done exceptionally well, just like the BREED.
