Frame and Fork:
Carbon CC Frame and Fork: Santa Cruz's highest grade of carbon makes for a bike that is incredibly lightweight, strong, and comfortable. With knowledge gained from years of mountain bike innovation, this frameset is stiff yet has great offroad feel.
Internal Cable Routing: Guided through tubes within the frame, cables are out of the way and look extra clean. This frame is also dropper post-ready.
3 Water Bottle Cage Mounts: With two inside the front triangle and one on the underside of the downtube, you'll never want for storage.
Size Specific Fork Offsets: Different fork offsets—50mm for the 52-54cm sizes and 45mm for the 56-61cm sizes—help ensure your little piggies don’t go to market on the front wheel.
Large Tire Clearance: With room for a 45mm 700c or a 2.1" 650b tire, this frameset can be set up for any adventure.

Drivetrain:
Shimano GRX: With its gravel specific ergonomics, optimized gearing options, rugged reliability, and quiet and stable drivetrain, GRX sets itself apart from the rest of the component world. It isn’t a reworked set of road components. It represents a ground up look at how cyclists want to explore their world. GRX helps you eliminate excuses, instead urging you to try that rough sidetrack or ride that little bit longer. It offers you the option to Explore Beyond.
Brakes:
Shimano GRX Brakeset: Confidence bumping down uneven roads, jumping potholes, and carving corners. Shimano developed new ergonomics for the Shimano STI levers used in the GRX line. Enhanced lever shapes offer better braking feel and increased leverage. Textured brake lever coatings mean that whatever the weather, you’ll stop with confidence. New hood designs ensure a secure hand position whenever the unexpected arrives.
Wheelset:
DT Swiss XR 361 Asym Rims Laced to DT Swiss 350 Hubs: Chiseled like an elite Cross Country racer and tough and wide, ready for trail action. That's the XR 361. Thanks to DT Swiss exclusive PHR nipple-spoke interface which distributes the loads on a big area of the rims surface, the wall thicknesses can be kept really low to bring down the rotational mass on your bike as low as possible. Achieving a simple goal: To go elite-rider-fast.
Maxxis Rambler Tires: Maxxis' first gravel-specific tire, the Rambler is designed with the volume you need for comfort and the tread you need for speed and control. Tightly packed center knobs are ramped for rolling efficiency on hardpack roads, and spaced-out side knobs provide predictable cornering in varied terrain.
