SRAM Rival AXS XPLR Components

SRAM Rival XPLR eTap AXS

Tailored to the needs of drop bar riders, SRAM’s 1x-specific XPLR AXS wireless drivetrain targets the gearing sweet spot. With an 10-44T cassette and matching derailleur, you get a big range for gravel climbs and tight shifts for fast riding on the road.

Vittoria Terreno Dry TLR G2.0 700x38c

A speed and traction focused tire with aggressive file tread. The unique angled “fish scale” design allows the center tread to roll extremely fast, yet offer traction when loaded in cornering and braking. Add the transitional height mid and side tread, and the Terreno Dry transitions as smoothly as it rolls.

HUNT 4Season All-Road XDR

A wheelset for fast rides on the road, with the capacity to take the path less traveled. The 20mm (internal) rim is ideal for wider tyres so you can explore, go bike-packing, rip any trails or CX courses you fancy, and do it all with confidence.

Ciclovation Grind Touch

Developed specifically for gravel and mixed surface abuse, Grind Tape's unique, high-density rubber-based compound is made to withstand all weather conditions while offering enhanced grip and improved control via vibration and shock absorption.
