According to Cycling Plus magazine the latest Friston is perfect if “you want a gravel bike that’s fun, versatile and will push to the limits of mountain biking” and we couldn’t have put our objectives better. That’s why we gave it MTB influenced long reach, short stem wide bar, slack head angle Total Geometry for masses of trail confidence. We even fitted a dropper post as standard so you can throw shapes on the singletrack and tackle the serious steeps the upsized disc brakes allow.
Wide range single ring gearing makes loaded climbing easy and the alloy frame and carbon fork have mounts to take a full set of bike packing gear, because a bike this enjoyable should be ridden as far and often as possible.
