Based around an adaptable steel frame, our Arise range is ready to follow whatever road you point it down. A simple, versatile bike, our Arise uses a single-speed drivetrain so you can focus on riding, not maintenance. The fast wheels, wide tires, and flared bars mean there’s not much this bike cannot handle, from trails to commuting. Infinitely adaptable with fittings for mudguards and a rack, and you even have the option of converting the frame and hub to run an 11-speed drivetrain.

If the wilderness beckons, the Arise Tour won’t stand in your way with its twin Tubus racks, mudguards and Supernova dynamo lights. Regardless of load, the Ames sub-compact 30 / 46T crankset and generous 11 – 42T cassette mean you’ll always have enough gears to tackle those steeper gradients. For a modern touch, flared bars allow for added packing space as well as sturdier handling while riding on the drops. For touring purists, bar-end shifters give you peace of mind over more complicated combination shifters. The distance-orientated Arise Tour's racks, mudguards, and dynamo lights help to escape far beyond the limits of the city.

The Audax, with its slender steel frame, light carbon fork, and many mounts for luggage, will let you take long-distance riding to the limit. As the kilometers roll by, hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power while a sub-compact chainset handles propulsion. A combination of WTB Horizon and Byway tires are fast-rolling over gravel, mud, or dirt. The integrated rear light mount brings discipline into the modern age. Topped off with Ritchey finishing kit, you’ll reach the coast before this bike gives up. Fast on tarmac, and smooth over broken ground, its broad tires contain enough air to carry you and your kit comfortably above a range of surfaces.

A modern twist on an age-old discipline, the Audax AL is an accomplished bicycle. Wide, generous tires confidently roll over any surface, guided by a carbon fork to reduce weight with plenty of clearance to accommodate wider treads plus mudguards. Take your pick on how to distribute your cargo with multiple mounting fixings across the frame and fork, as well as options for panniers and bike packing bags. Short chainstays and an engaged front end make for a responsive bike geometry, which feels alert and responsive even when fully loaded. To complete the bike, 650B wheels, a Microshift XLE 11-speed groupset, and a clutch derailleur ensure comfort and reliability wherever you point your nose. Employing short chainstays, it's a bike that's happy to change lanes quickly, but yet remains solidly planted thanks to a larger-than-average contact patch.

Made to cross countries and continents via all kinds of roads and trackways... The Beyond 1 serves as the perfect first bike for fledgling adventurists. With tires as wide as a mountain bike accompanied by a 28 / 40T chainset, this bike will be able to reach wherever you’ve plotted on the map. Leverage-boosting bars provide added control, and an eye-watering selection of mounting points mean you won’t need to leave anything at home. Its simplicity makes it easy to service, too.

Which to choose: speed or storage space? You can have both with a Hook. With an able steel frame and carbon fork, this bike is fast and versatile. Size-matched 650B or 700C wheels across the sizes provide control and comfort, while the Shimano GRX groupset and double crankset give you a close ratio with a broad range of gears. Take your pick from a range of fixing points, including a direct mount for a top tube bag, triple cage mounts, rear rack and fender. Or, leave it stripped back and fly. The Hook might have been designed as a gravel racer, but that doesn’t stop it from also being a perfect tourer, commuter, or even summer-season crossbike.
