Bike lanes through the week and backroads on the weekend. Happy on-road and off, the Provincial Road 1 can handle your commute, your next group ride, and that bikepacking trip you’ve been thinking about. Outfitted with Shimano's GRX groupset, you get a drivetrain that is tough enough for the trail and incredibly smooth on the road. With 20 gear options right at your fingertips, you can take the edge off hills and put down power, whenever you like. The standard 10mm quick release axles have been swapped out for 12mm thru-axles, reducing flex under hard braking, cornering, and accelerating, giving the bike reliable handling in all conditions. Built on the foundation of an agile steel frame with a stable upright geometry and grippy high-volume tires, the Provincial Road 1 is a solid weekday commuter and excellent weekend adventure buddy.
