With the Backroad Force AXS XPLR, gravel feels like asphalt under your tyres. If you love speed and are looking for off-road adventure, you've come to the right place.
The fully electronic SRAM Force AXS XPLR groupset, which stands for lightning-fast, crisp and intuitive shifting at the touch of a button, provides the drive. The ROSE GC-Forty carbon wheels are a perfect match – with a 24 mm inner rim width specially designed for gravel use and fitted with fast 40 mm tyres from Conti.
The Endurance One-Piece cockpit made of carbon is also a highlight, and not just for the eyes, as it absorbs micro-vibrations on fast gravel tracks and thus prevents arm fatigue. The end result is a feather-light 8.2 kg and an overall concept that would make even some road cyclists envious.

Flex is fun: The deep cut-out in the seat tube provides a massive increase in comfort, while the balanced frame geometry offers perfect handling on the road, gravel and technical terrain. Only a dry throat can stop you.
More off-road | Action
The frame and fork allow for a tyre width of up to 45 mm with 700c and up to 47 mm with 650b wheels. For rougher road conditions, perfectly adapted protectors at the down tube and chainstays protect the paint.
