What kind of bike can hang in on club rides, head out to gravel grind and then hit a cyclocross race, all in one weekend? The incredibly versatile Ridley X-Trail. Its geometry combines the nimbleness of a cyclocross ride with the high-speed stability and stiffness of a road bike. Massive clearance allows up to 36C tires to explore unpaved roads in comfort by swapping out tires or wheels. Lightweight and smooth, the brand new Shimano 105 R7000 gruppo is a performer with a versatile gear range. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes provide stopping power with nuanced modulation regardless of the conditions. Smart details make this package a winner: asymmetric rear triangle for shock absorption and stiffness, hidden fender mounts for everyday usability and an adventure-ready crankset with 48-32T chainrings.
