Infinitely adaptable with fittings for mudguards and a rack, and you even have the option of converting the frame and hub to run an 11-speed drivetrain.

If the wilderness beckons, the Arise Tour won’t stand in your way with its twin Tubus racks, mudguards and Supernova dynamo lights. Regardless of load, the Ames sub-compact 30 / 46T crankset and generous 11 – 42T cassette mean you’ll always have enough gears to tackle those steeper gradients. For a modern touch, flared bars allow for added packing space as well as sturdier handling while riding on the drops.

Employing short chainstays, it's a bike that's happy to change lanes quickly, but yet remains solidly planted thanks to a larger-than-average contact patch.
