Complementary to this structure is an ONDA fork with a special shape and carbon layup intended to optimize vertical compliance and absorb shock, helping you maintain traction even when the terrain gets tough and technical.Â
Along similar lines, an adaptive seatpost features a longitudinal flex of 8mm, providing shock absorption without giving up power transfer.
Streamlined as it is, the frame still features the Aero Load System — a clever downtube storage port that integrates a toolbag — and top tube bag mountings (included in the stated frame weight).Â
Considering the increasing popularity of downtube storage on gravel and mountain bikes, the brand would be remiss not to include the former feature.
The bottom line here is that a complete bike (fitted with SRAM RED groupset, Princeton Grit 4540 EVO wheels and Vittoria 40mm tires) weighs in at 7.35 kg, or roughly 16.2 pounds.Â
