A 21st century endurance road bike built on the road plus wheel platform for enhanced comfort & greater versatility without compromising speed. Originally conceived as a more traditional road tourer the Audax has been transformed into a vision for modern endurance road riding.
Originally conceived as a more traditional road tourer the Audax has been transformed into a vision for modern endurance road riding. The starting point for the new direction was switching the wheel platform from 700c to the road-plus 650b. For long distance riding steel is arguably the best material for the job. Its natural resonance dampens road buzz & produces a ride so compliant that it’s more akin to floating than rolling. The geometry has been revised for a less touring & more sportive riding position. Such geometry required shorter chainstays whilst retaining tire & chainring clearance the result of these factors led to the development of our custom yoke a standout feature on this incredible frame.
