Internal Routing: Internal cable routing with adaptable port covers keeps cables tight and secure. The Search XR is also compatible with a wide range of configurations such as 1x or 2x drivetrains.

Multiple Configurations: The Search XR aluminium models are specified with flared drop bars, with an available a flat bar model, and the Search XR Suspension features a 50mm gravel-specific SR Suntour suspension fork.

Tyre Clearance: Generous tyre clearance lets you customize your Search XR to the type of ride that best suits you, or the ride your planning on any given day.
