It excels in various conditions, from high-speed descents to technical trails, and offers a comfortable ride with its compliant seatpost and large tire clearance.

Fezzari’s revamped Shafer gravel bike has traded its old me-too personality for modern progressive handling, more capabilities, and value that should put mainstream brands on notice.
Thoroughly progressive geometry and handling, good stiffness and ride quality, clean and elegant aesthetics, ample mounting options, superb value.
Minimal brand cachet, overly subdued color choices.
