Internal cable routing. 33 mounts on the frame and fork to attach all your accessories and pannier racks. Compatible with all pannier racks. Removable rear derailleur hanger.

Pannier rack

We have developed a uniquely robust rear pannier rack to carry your belongings. Six bolts attach it to the rear stays, allowing you to carry up to 40 kg of baggage or a child seat. This unique design choice also avoids the problem commonly encountered by bikepackers of the screws shearing.
