An included storage bag keeps your essentials secure and reduces the need for extra bags.Shimano GRX 2x10-Speed Drivetrain: The 46/30T chainset and 11-36T cassette provide a wide range of gears with small steps between ratios. This makes it easier to find the right gear for steep climbs, flat roads and changing terrain.Shimano GRX Hydraulic Disc Brakes: The BR-RX400 brakes use 160mm rotors at both wheels to deliver strong and controlled stopping power. Hydraulic braking allows you to manage your speed with less hand effort, even in wet conditions.Delium Rifter 700x40mm Tyres: The wide tyres provide a larger contact area for grip on gravel and loose surfaces. Tubeless-compatible tyres and rims also allow a tubeless setup, helping you run lower pressures for improved comfort and traction.16-Degree Flared Drop Handlebars: The flared design gives you a wider hand position when riding in the drops. This adds leverage and control on rough descents while keeping a compact position on smoother roads.The Gestalt 2 combines gravel capability with the practical features needed for daily use.
