From bike lanes to back roads, the Provincial Trail bike is looking forward to your summer bike packing trips almost as much as you are. Building on the comfortable and agile frame used on the next level Provincial Trail 2, the Trail 1 saves you a bit of money on components. Outfitted with Shimano’s Sora groupset, you get 18 hill-flattening gears at your fingertips. And TRP mechanical disc brakes are there to keep your speed right where you want it. Since every trip can’t be on the road less travelled, the Trail 1 is also a great performer on your weekday commute, while still being ready for weekend gravel grinds, and maybe even the odd cross or road race. And if you find yourself enjoying road riding more than you expected, get yourself a set of 700C slick tires and you'll maintain the same geometry you’re used to, but in an even faster package.

- Chromoly fork is tough and has the right amount of stiffness for precise handling
- Frame and fork are equipped with eyelets for fenders, racks, bottle cages and bag mounts
- 12x100mm thru-axle fork and 12x142mm frame makes it easy to switch between these adventure-ready wheels and road-specific ones
