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.
