The Straggler is expertly crafted for versatile exploration across a range of terrain. It’s designed to be your go-to bike for day trips and weekend adventures. Whether you’re navigating rough roads, tackling cyclocross without the pressure of competition, running errands in the city, or embarking on light-duty tours, the Straggler handles it all with ease. Built as a steel gravel bike, it offers a smooth and reliable ride even on paved surfaces, blending the ruggedness of a mountain bike with the performance of a road bike. If you need just one bike to cover all your needs, the Straggler is the ideal choice. Beyond asphalt, the Straggler excels in light touring setups. It accommodates frame bags, seat bags, and is perfect for “credit card touring,” where you travel with minimal gear.
