Stormchaser is our single-speed gravel bike designed to prevail through bad weather and drivetrain-crunching conditions. The 6066-T6 alloy frame features our Class 5â„¢ VRS (vibration reduction system) for comfort and composure on harsh roads. The compliant carbon fork comes with extra tire clearance and protection plates to prevent wear from muddy tires. Alternator Flat Mount dropouts allow for solid single-speed setups or 1x drivetrains (with geared dropout plate, sold separately). Frame and fork mounts make it easy to carry extra food and water on long rides, while the rack and fender mounts add a layer of versatility. Stormchaser is a trusty partner for single speed enthusiasts or gravel riders who saddle up no matter what.
