Thje Gestalt X models are built with a longer wheelbase, a slacker head angle, low-slung frame, wide bars, short stem, big and chunky tires with room for up to 50mm on 700c or 54mm with a 650b wheelset, all designed to improve handling when the trail turns technical.

Our premium, butted and formed Series 3 alluminium construction, braze-in internal cable routing, impressive tyre clearance and genuinely beyond-road geometry, make the Gestalt X models are our most off road capable drop bar bikes we've ever made.

Is it a gravel bike? Is it a drop bar mountain bike? Is it a bikepacking bike? Yes to all of the above! Who cares about definitions and pigeonholes? All you need to know is that the XR stands for eXtra Rad!
