2018 Specialized Sequoia Gravel/Adventure Bike - Black/Graphite

A 100 years ago, we didn't have road bikes and touring bikes - there were just bikes, and that didn't stop anyone from heading out into the wilderness. With this spirit, Specialized built their groundbreaking Sequoia. It's reshaping long held ideas, and forever changing what we'll come to expect from a bike. The Sequoia's path to adventure starts at the frame, which is constructed from Premium Cr-Mo and stainless steel tubing. These materials are coveted for their strength, respectable weight, and tuned ride quality. Furthermore, tubes that are specific to each frame size were selected, ensuring that every frame rides exactly as intended. Of course, this is only a piece of the equation, with the next being its dedicated Adventure Geometry. This geometry is unique in that it skews the line between a traditional road bike and a dedicated touring rig. You'll find an ample wheelbase and low bottom bracket for control, but the chainstays and tube angles ensure that you'll be able to travel efficiently and quickly, regardless of whether or not your rig is loaded. Digging into the details, the frame is outfitted with an ample number of mounts for water, racks, and mudguards. For the build, reliable parts were included, like a mix of sturdy Shimano components, fuss-free mechanical disc brakes, and hand-built Hayfield wheels that are cased in wide, 2Bliss Ready tyres.

• The Sequoia is built from Premium Cr-Mo, size-specific tubing. This ensures that every frame is strong, light, and capable, while every frame size rides exactly as intended. This philosophy is furthered with Adventure Geometry that provides ample confidence over rough and smooth terrain, alike. Lastly, the frame also features mudguard and rack mounts to make sure you'll be well equipped whenever adventure strikes.
• A strong Cr-Mo fork will standup to the weight of heavy loads without the bat of an eyelash. It's lightweight and features internal cable routing for your lights. When you're miles from nowhere, you're especially going to appreciate its extra waterbottle mount.
• Hand-built Adventure Gear Hayfield wheels are cased in 700x42mm 2Bliss Ready tyres to be burly and tough as a mule. It's the ideal wheelset for anyone looking to skip town and not look back.
