Journeyer SORA 2x9 is a gravel adventure bike built for guiding you into the world of gravel racing, wandering beautiful backroads, light bikepacking, or any other gravel fun you can cook up. Comfortable upright geometry grants you confidence on rougher roads (and helps you take in the view). The aluminum frame and fork feature mounts for fenders, racks, and accessories like our EXP-R Series Trillium Top Tube Bag, so you can adapt it for any adventure. The Shimano SORA 2x9 drivetrain is a workhorse with more than enough gear range for soaring climbs and long flats. Journeyer’s blend of comfort, cargo, and capability make it the best gravel adventure bike for riders starting to explore the off-pavement world.
