Zinnia

A trusty steed for the gravel curious road riders among us. On road or off, the Provincial Road 2’s stability-focused steel frame is flickable and responsive. From tarmac focused group rides, to cyclocross and bikepacking, this bike is up for it. Like past Provincials, the Road 2 has impressive tire clearance, making it a great choice for touring on less than stellar terrain. The carbon fork uses a 12mm thru-axle instead of a standard QR set up, to reduce flex under hard braking, cornering, and accelerating. A wide and supportive Fizik Terra saddle keeps you comfortable during those long rides. SRAM’s gravel focused 12-speed Apex groupset, offers tons of mechanical advantage to help flatten out the climbs. By moving to a 1x12 drivetrain, we have removed a potential point of failure in the front, the derailleur, giving you the durability enjoyed by mountain bikers for years. No matter the terrain or the grade, the powerful hydraulic disc brakes let you keep your speed right where you want it.Designed to be as fun to ride on your daily commute as it is out bikepacking, the versatile Provincial line is great bang for your buckColumbus Cromor steel frame with lowered bottom bracket for stable handlingCarbon fibre fork with aluminum steerer lower the weight of the bike while improving comfortFront fork designed for use with 12mm thru axlesFrame is equipped with eyelets for fenders, a rear rack, and 3 bottle cages for those long adventuresFrame and fork have plenty of clearance, allowing for tires that measure up to 45mm in widthSRAM Apex 1x12 gruppo yields fast shifts and solid braking in a lightweight packageDoubleTap system, shifting up or down is done with a with short sweep of your fingersSRAM Apex hydraulic disc brakes provide outstanding power and modulation regardless of weatherSRAM Centerline 160mm rotors provide plenty of stopping powerSRAM Apex 1 crankset uses X-Sync™ chainring technology for excellent chain retention in rough terrainFormula hubs use sealed cartridge bearings for smoothness and durabilityEaston EA50 bars features a 16° flare for a comfortable and stable position on rough roadsVittoria Terreno Dry tires are 40mm wide to soak up road and trail vibrationMEC carbon fibre seat post helps soak up vibrationFizik Terra Alpaca X5 is 145mm wide, comfortably cradling your sit bones on rough terrain and long ridesPart of MEC’s Provincial collection – a versatile series of bags and bikes that are just as useful on your commute, as they are on your gravel grinds and bikepacking adventuresBikes are covered by MEC's Rocksolid Guarantee and Bike Service Agreement.
