We recently took a Bombtrack Cale and Cale AL to Italy to see how they'd hold up to a week of bikepacking in the Dolomites. Here's the full review...
Versatile, burly steel frame that can handle some serious chonk
Bikepacking-friendly with lots of mounts throughout
GX Eagle drivetrain offers wide range and low granny gear
Strikes a great balance between trail shredder and loaded bikepacking rig
Sensible build kit won’t need much upgrading
Lots of mounts to extend carrying capacity
No lock-out on the suspension fork is not ideal for mixed bikepacking routes
No size small for shorter riders
Stock grips and saddle aren’t particularly comfortable at this price point
Only two sizes, at least for now
Relatively pricey point of entry for a complete hardtail
Bold colors and graphics won’t be for everyone

A versatile hardtail that's ready for adventure
The potential versatility of the Cale really is its standout feature
That versatility possibly comes at the expense of all-out performance
