Product description
Stormchaser Single Speed is our minimalist gravel bike. It thrives in gritty, muddy conditions with its simple single-speed drivetrain and extra tire clearance. The 6066-T6 alloy frame features our impact-absorbing Class 5™ VRS frame design, paired with a carbon fork to further reduce road vibrations for all-day comfort. Alternator Flat Mount dropouts make chain tensioning easy and also accommodate 1x geared drivetrains (with Alternator Flat Mount geared dropout plate, 465 Derailleur Hanger, and Axle Stud Kit, sold separately). Cargo mounts on the frame and fork let you load up for long rides without resupply. Stormchaser Single Speed comes equipped with a 17- and 18-tooth cog — go with the 17 for faster days and flatter routes, or the 18 for courses with more climbing. Stormchaser is a comfortable, reliable single speed gravel bike that’s unphased by the ugliest road conditions.
