In titanium, Bombtrack upgrades the Beyond Ti with 29 x 2.25″ tire clearance to match the new fork, or up to 2.5″ wide on smaller diameter 27.5″ wheels.
That 2.5kg steel Beyond frame also will be getting a >500g lighter and more premium sibling in this new Bombtrack Beyond Ti adventure bikepacking bike.Īvailable for 3100€ only as a 3Al-2.5V titanium frameset paired with the new Seido MGV carbon fork, it features the same go-anywhere, loaded-down-with-anything mentality as the regular Beyond adventure bike, with even a bit more tire clearance. The two smallest Beyonds get fitted with 650b wheels & 47mm tubeless WTB Venture tires, and the three biggest get 700c wheels & 2″ wide Ventures (max 2.1″ tires).īeyond Ti upgrades adventure frame in titanium The beyond suspicious steel adventure bikepacking bike comes in five sizes (XS-XL) with two different wheel sizes to preserve nimble loaded handling characteristics and reduced toe overlap for all riders. The double-butted 4130 steel Beyond SUS was already built around a 420mm axle-crown steel fork, so swapping to the 435mm a-c of this 40mm travel RockShox Rudy fork is virtually the same once you figure the suspension sag.įor 2700€, the glossy metallic midnight blue Beyond Sus gets a SRAM Apex mechanical build kit with mechanical TRP Spyre C disc brakes. This adventure bike mostly is just getting a suspension spec update, but after the popularity of putting a suspension fork on their Hook ADV gravel bike, Bombtrack figured it was time to give the adventure bikepacking bike some squishy fork love too. Coming in the spring, the new Bombtrack Hook EXT C will be available in the glossy metallic black above or this glossy light blue.īeyond Sus adds suspension to steel adventure bike The 1550€ frameset still works with a T47 threaded bottom bracket, and external clamp for the 27.2mm seatpost, 12mm thru-axles, and flat mount disc brakes, but now also gets upgraded to a UDH replaceable hanger.

It even gets rid of the seatstay bridge in this iteration, moving the rear rack mounts hidden inside of the stays where they can also support a removable bridge for anyone wanting to run full fenders. Tube shaping on the new Bombtrack Hook EXT C is a bit more angular and modern to go with the new routing – almost aero inspired. This custom spec’d blue bike without anything too fancy is said to weigh 8.95kg complete. And even its new Seido x Bombtrack MGV fork is down around 70 grams to 530g when I just reviewed it on my own old Bombtrack.Ĭompare that to the 2710g claim for the Columbus Cromor steel Hook EXT and it’s easy to see the value in dropping 1.5kg in frame alone. But at just over 1200g it is lighter than ever (this size Large weighed 1254g on our scale including 14 steel cage bolts, 3-4g each). Its sole concept has never been about being an absolute lightweight – prioritizing durability, off-road capability & rider comfort over becoming a full weight-weenie gravel bike. And it’s sustainable wood so you can cut & sand it down to fit in smaller bags too. Let’s just start off with that limited edition bamboo toothbrush from Bombtrack’s Seido component offshoot, because why not? Bombtrack made them for Veneto Trail riders this summer, but this is something weight-conscious eco-friendly bikepackers can get behind right? I’ve been told by several ultra-distance racers that one of the few things that keeps them feeling human after many mostly-sleepless days of riding the backcountry in the same dirty clothes, is brushing your teeth to feel fresh/refreshed again.Īt just 8g it won’t weigh those heavy bikepacking bags down. Plus, there’s an all-new affordable Munroe Loop step-through commuter, and even an ultralight sustainable Seido bikepacker’s toothbrush…
