Hardly any other German brand has made such a name for itself in the international bikepacking scene as Bombtrack. The Hook 2 combines features from numerous disciplines, including a big portion of bikepacking DNA. Is that enough to hold its own against the competition?
Value for money
Composure
Riding position
Bombproof!
Cable routing
140 mm rear brake rotor is too small
40 t chainring is too big
No XD freewheel

Bombtrack is a young brand that has quietly been making waves recently with really interesting looking road and adventure bikes, and this all-new carbon fibre 650b Hook EXT-C is a highly capable, comfortable and great handling adventure bike if you really want to delve deep into the woods and escape the congested roads and plan an ambitious adventure into the unknown wilderness. The best gravel and adventure bikes you can buy for under £1000 When should you replace your bicycle chain? Buyer's guide to gravel & adventure bikes Thankfully the ride is more exciting than the looks.

If you aren't fussed about 11kg+, this is a great bike with all-round potential and the lifelong assurance of a steel frame

The category-busting Bombtrack Hook EXT bike serves up cyclocross geometry, fat 27.5" mountain bike rubber and Columbus steel. Is this a recipe for fun?

A pleasant all-rounder that’s priced on the high side, and isn’t as versatile as it could be. Buy if you want an elegant steel all-roader and you’re not counting grams
Looks, smooth ride quality, top notch wheels
Weighty, over-geared, expensive, and not quite the swiss army knife it claims
