Evolved to be more enjoyable on your summer bikepacking trips and weekend gravel grinds. With a revised gravel focused geometry, this year’s Provincial Trail 2 makes your time in the saddle more comfortable and more efficient. Built on fast rolling 700C wheels wearing plush 45mm tires, this bike delivers the grip and comfort of a gravel bike and the potential speed of a road bike. Equipped with SRAM’s 12 speed Apex groupset, you get tons of mechanical advantage to help flatten out the climbs. By moving to a 1x12 drivetrain, we’ve removed a potential point of failure in the front — the derailleur — giving you the durability mountain bikers have enjoyed for years. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes keep your velocity right where you want it, regardless of the weather or trail conditions. While the Provincial Trail is outfitted with everything you need for your next gravel epic, the Trail 2 is also a great performer on your weekday commute, because we all have to earn those vacation days somehow.
