FRAME SPEC

Aluminum has long been the ideal material for bikes and airplanes with its incomparable strength-to-weight ratios. The Bend frame features internal cable routing, plus multiple mounting points for things like bottle cages, racks and mudguards.

GEOMETRY

The Bend features comfy all-day geo with 71° head and 74° seat tube angles, long 420mm chainstays for comfort, a 261mm bottom bracket height for extra clearance and an uber-long 1019mm (m) wheelbase that was designed for off-road stability at high speeds.

SORA 2X9

At the heart of the R2 lies the Shimano Sora 2x9 groupset, offering reliable performance and the versatility you need to get through your journey and come paired with Tektro Mechanical Disc Brakes.

ENTITY ALLOY

Assembly

Your bike needs minor assembly before riding; use the tools and videos included.

As a guide, it'll take 10-40min depending on whether you're an experienced bike assembler or have little to no mechanical experience.

Side Note: Your cables will stretch during the initial bed-in period and must be adjusted by an experienced mechanic around 150km of riding.
