The Elan is your perfect partner for long distance touring.

The Elan is fitted with 700 x 35c tires for handling all your on and off road routes giving you added comfort yet maintaining fast rolling to get you where you need to be on time.

Adventure 2X drivetrain

The Elan has a wide range of gearing that works just as well on the open highway as it does on the long gravel climbs even fully loaded with gear. Using the FSA Adventure Crankset w 46/32 Tooth rings Paired with an 11-34 Tooth Cassette gives you better than a 1:1 gear ratio for those long sustained climbs. The Tiagra 10 speed shift levers, front and rear Tiagra derailleurs, give you precise light action shifting.
