 If you're looking for a bike for those long commutes or to take you off the beaten path then you, my friend, have found what you're looking for. The Pure Cycles Adventure Bike is the perfect mixture of rugged strength, speed and comfort and is designed to be as at home on gravel trails as it is on asphalt commutes. The strong chromoly frame and fork has loads of clearance and so you have the ability to put on higher volume, more knobby tires that can give you even better traction on rougher trails. The alloy drop bars gives you a nice variety of positions so you can keep switching it up on longer rides and the chain drive gives you plenty of gears to tackle those hills. On longer rides you might want to put racks or fenders on the bike and there's attachment points that allow for this and what this ensures is that the bike doesn't limit you if you want to go long haul. In keeping with most good mountain and gravel bikes the Pure Cycles Adventure Bike is equipped with solid disc brakes. These function really well in all weather and stay clear of mud and grime from the trail. The Pure Cycles Adventure Pro has a solid set of upgrades and upgraded drivetrain, groupset and brake levers. The Pure Cycles Adventure Apex as the name suggests takes things to the next level. From an even higher quality lighter frame and carbon fork to stronger lighter stem and handlebars. A really nice SRAM 1x11 gear setup and even better flat mount disc brakes.
