A trusty steed for the gravel curious road riders among us. On road or off, the Provincial Road 2’s stability-focused steel frame is flickable and responsive. From tarmac focused group rides, to cyclocross and bikepacking, this bike is up for it. Like past Provincials, the Road 2 has impressive tire clearance, making it a great choice for touring on less than stellar terrain. The carbon fork uses a 12mm thru-axle instead of a standard QR set up, to reduce flex under hard braking, cornering, and accelerating. A wide and supportive Fizik Terra saddle keeps you comfortable during those long rides. SRAM’s gravel focused 12-speed Apex groupset, offers tons of mechanical advantage to help flatten out the climbs. By moving to a 1x12 drivetrain, we have removed a potential point of failure in the front, the derailleur, giving you the durability enjoyed by mountain bikers for years. No matter the terrain or the grade, the powerful hydraulic disc brakes let you keep your speed right where you want it.
