Designed around your next adventure, the Provincial Trail Bicycle is much more than a road bike with big tires. If you're keen to leave traffic behind and explore gravel roads, this bike is the tool for the job. Its geometry is designed around the 650b wheels and 47mm-wide tires to provide the comfort of bigger-volume tires without messing up the feel of the bike. From the height of the bottom bracket to the shaping of the 7000-series aluminum tubing, no detail was overlooked. Outfitted with Shimano's GRX groupset, designed specifically for the demands of gravel riding. While the Provincial Trail Bike is outfitted with everything you need to go on your next gravel epic, turning this adventure bike into a Gran Fondo–capable one is quite easy. Get yourself a set of 700c road disc wheels with 28mm slick tires and you'll maintain the same bike geometry, but in a fast package that'll help you get your personal best.
