Stratosphere

An evolution of the first-generation Provincial Trail, this bike is here for your summer bike packing trips, weekend gravel grinds, and maybe even the odd cross or road race. If you're keen to leave traffic behind and explore gravel roads, the Provincial Trail 2 is the tool for the job. Built on fast rolling 700C wheels wearing 42mm wide tires, this bike delivers the grip and comfort of a gravel bike, and the potential speed of road bike. Equipped with SRAM’s gravel focused 12-speed Apex groupset, you get 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, derailleur, giving you the durability enjoyed by mountain bikers for years. 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 slick tires and you'll maintain the same geometry you’re used to, but in an even faster package.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 buckLight and strong 6000-series aluminum frame has a stable trail-ready geometryInternal 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 allows for tires that measures 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 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 terrainWTB ST i23 rims are tubeless ready and designed for the rigours of gravel grindsWTB Resolute tires are tubeless ready and have evenly spaced square lugs that bite into soft trails and clear mud with ease.
