The Elan can handle all your on and off road routes giving you great comfort yet still 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. The brand new Shimano GRX-600 with 46/30 tooth rings is paired with an 11/34T cassette for loaded touring and a 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.
Carry anything you need with all day comfort.
The Elan comes with matching Chromo Steel Fork with LoRider and fender mounts as well as triple anything cargo cage mounts on each side to expand your carrying ability. TRP Spire-C Dual Piston Disc Brakes set an industry standard for stopping ability in any condition while being simple to maintain and are adjustable from both sides to fine tune your clearance as needed.
Attention to detail
The Elan comes with reflective fenders for safety, plenty of mounting points for all your carry need and a comfortable saddle for long distances. The WTB Exposure 700 x 34c tire gives you plenty of all weather grip on multiple surfaces yet a fast road cruiser.
