We believe that at the heart of every rider is an adventurer ready to seek out new roads regardless of whether theyre paved or not. & for this reason we created a bike thats built to handle anything. The Sequoia Expert eliminates the need to choose from a dedicated touring rig or a road bike instead combining the two in a single genre-shattering bike. The Sequoias path to adventure starts at the frame which we constructed from Premium Cr-Mo tubing. This material is coveted for its strength respectable weight & tuned ride quality. & we took this a step further by selecting tubes that are specific to each frame size further ensuring that every frame rides exactly as we intended. Of course this is only a piece of the equation with the next being its dedicated Adventure Geometry. This geometry is unique in that it skews the line between a traditional road bike & a dedicated touring rig. Youll find an amble wheelbase & low bottom bracket for control but the chainstays & tube angles ensure that youll be able to travel efficiently & quickly regardless of whether or not your rig is loaded. Digging into the details the frame is outfitted with an ample number of mounts for water racks & fenders. & for the build we included reliable parts like a SRAM Force 1 groupset powerful hydraulic disc brakes & h&-built Cruzero wheels that are cased in wide 2 Bliss Ready tyres. The Sequoia is built from our Premium Cr-Mo size-specific tubing. This ensures that every frame is strong light & capable while every frame size rides exactly as we intended. This philosophy is furthered with our Adventure Geometry that provides ample confidence over rough & smooth terrain alike. & lastly we equipped this frame with fender & rack mounts to make sure youll be well equipped whenever adventure strikes.A beefy FACT carbon fiber fork is sure to take the sting out of harsh roads. & when youre deep into said roads youll be thankful for the extra water bottle mount found on its fork leg.H&-built Adventure Gear Cruzero wheels are cased in 700x 42mm 2 Bliss Ready tires to be tough strong & fast rolling. Its the ideal wheelset for anyone looking to skip town at speed.
