Product description
Stormchaser Apex Eagle SUS is an adventure-ready gravel bike with suspension for seeking out the roughest tracks. The 6066-T6 alloy frame features our Class 5™ VRS to cut road chatter, and a RockShox Rudy XPLR suspension fork doubles down on comfort with 40mm of travel. A dropper post makes it easier to shift your weight to navigate obstacles and descend with complete confidence.
