The Ruut CF Zero Disc Gravel Bike has a carbon frame in which Rondo has effectively isolated the front and rear triangles, allowing the rear to have flex points on the seatstays, top tube and seat tube without compromising the stiffness needed to transfer maximum power through the bottom bracket. This flex, along with the large tyre clearances, allows the bike to be both comfortable and seriously rapid over long distances. The dropout on the carbon Twintop fork can be flipped in order to customise the bike’s handling; slacker and longer for stability or shorter and steeper for a more aggressive ride. The carbon theme continues with Hunt’s impressive wheelset and the finishing kit, making for a very lightweight bike. Force 1 is SRAM’s top 1x mechanical groupset, with powerful hydraulic brakes and precise gear changes on offer, even when powering up a climb. A full complement of bottle, luggage and mudguard mounts means that it is ready roll.
