MEC Provincial Trail tapered 7005 aluminum

Designed around your next adventure, the Provincial Trail Bicycle is much more than a road bike with big tires. If you're keen to leave traffic behind and explore gravel roads, this bike is the tool for the job. Its geometry is designed around the 650b wheels and 47mm-wide tires to provide the comfort of bigger-volume tires without messing up the feel of the bike. From the height of the bottom bracket to the shaping of the 7000-series aluminum tubing, no detail was overlooked. Outfitted with Shimano's GRX groupset, designed specifically for the demands of gravel riding. While the Provincial Trail Bike is outfitted with everything you need to go on your next gravel epic, turning this adventure bike into a Gran Fondo–capable one is quite easy. Get yourself a set of 700c road disc wheels with 28mm slick tires and you'll maintain the same bike geometry, but in a fast package that'll help you get your personal best.Light, strong and reliable 7005-series frame is built around a 650B wheelset for a stable and confidence-inspiring rideInternal cable routing uses alloy cable-stops that allow you to customize your setup and add a dropper post should you wish to do soCarbon fibre fork with aluminum steerer features internal cable routing to keep things looking cleanFront fork features fender mounts and internal cable routing for a clean and snag-free lookFrame is equipped with eyelets for fenders, a rear rack, and 3 bottle cages for those long adventures12x100mm thru-axle fork and 12x142mm frame makes it easy to switch between these adventure-ready wheels and road-specific onesFrame and fork clearance of 60mm allows for tires that measures up to 50mm in widthPF30 bottom bracket shell provides more room for internal cable routing and makes for a future-proof rideShimano 11-speed GRX drivetrain (600 and 800) pairs 46-30T chain rings with an 11-34T cassetteShimano GRX 400 hydraulic disc brakes provide outstanding power and modulation regardless of weatherSLX 160mm rotors use Shimano’s ICE technology, sandwiching an aluminum core between 2 layers of stainless steel for greatly improved cooling, meaning more stopping powerGRX 46/30 crank is designed with tighter gear steps to make it easier to maintain and even cadence on the uneven terrain of gravel rides650b Alex Boondocks 3 wheels are tubeless ready and designed for the rigours of gravel grindsKenda Alluvium Pro tires are tubeless ready and use a tread that has been designed to maximize handling and speed on mixed terrain, like unpaved roads or potholed city streetsMEC carbon fibre post soaks up vibration for a comfortable rideFizik Aliante R5 saddle helps keep the ride comfortable on long daysBikes are covered by MEC's Rocksolid Guarantee and Bike Service Agreement.
