Gravel Grey

From bike lanes to back roads, the Provincial Trail bike is looking forward to your summer bike packing trips almost as much as you are. Building on the comfortable and agile frame used on the next level Provincial Trail 2, the Trail 1 saves you a bit of money on components. Outfitted with Shimano’s Sora groupset, you get 18 hill-flattening gears at your fingertips. And TRP mechanical disc brakes are there to keep your speed right where you want it. Since every trip can’t be on the road less travelled, the Trail 1 is also a great performer on your weekday commute, while still being ready for weekend gravel grinds, and maybe even the odd cross or road race. And if you find yourself enjoying road riding more than you expected, 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 buck
Light and strong 6000-series aluminum frame has a stable trail-ready geometry
Internal cable routing uses alloy cable-stops that allow you to customize your setup and add a dropper post should you wish to do so
Chromoly fork is tough and has the right amount of stiffness for precise handling
Frame and fork are equipped with eyelets for fenders, racks, bottle cages and bag mounts
12x100mm thru-axle fork and 12x142mm frame makes it easy to switch between these adventure-ready wheels and road-specific ones
Frame and fork clearance allows for tires that measures up to 45mm in width
Shimano Sora 2x9 gruppo provides reliable shifting and lots of mechanical advantage
Shimano® Sora R3000 shifters and derailleurs deliver crisp shifting
Shimano Sora 50-34T crankset and 11-34T cassette offer a range of gears for all terrain
TRP Spyre C mechanical disc brakes are powerful, low-profile and reliable in all conditions
MEC Adventure bars feature a 12° flare for comfort and stability when riding in the drops
WTB ST i23 rims are tubeless ready and designed for the rigours of gravel grinds
Goodyear Connector tires are tubeless ready and have lots of low lugs down the centerline for a smooth fast roll on hard trails and bike lanes. High shoulder jugs add grip in corners and when running tubeless at lower pressures
Fizik Terra Alpaca X5 is 145mm wide, comfortably cradling your sit bones on rough terrain and long rides
