    2018 Sequoia Expert

    We believe that at the heart of every rider is an adventurer, ready to seek out new roads, regardless of whether they're paved or not. And for this reason, we created a bike that's built to handle anything. The Sequoia Expert eliminates the need to choose from a dedicated touring rig or a road bike, instead combining the two in a single, genre-shattering bike.

    The Sequoia's path to adventure starts at the frame, which we constructed from a mix of Premium Cr-Mo tubing and stainless steel. This material is coveted for its strength, respectable weight, and tuned ride quality. And we took this a step further by selecting tubes that are specific to each frame size, further ensuring that every frame rides exactly as we intended.

    Of course, this is only a piece of the equation, with the next being its dedicated Adventure Geometry. This geometry is unique in that it skews the line between a traditional road bike and a dedicated touring rig. You'll find an ample wheelbase and low bottom bracket for control, but the chainstays and tube angles ensure that you'll be able to travel efficiently and quickly, regardless of whether or not your rig is loaded.

    Digging into the details, the frame is outfitted with an ample number of mounts for water, racks, and fenders. And for the build, we included a carbon fork and reliable parts, like a SRAM Force 1 groupset, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, and hand-built Cruzero wheels that are cased in wide, 2Bliss Ready tires.

    Fantastic ride capable of pretty much everything

    I absolutely love this bike. I race Cyclocross on it, I ride it on road and gravel, I mountain bike on it, and I take it bikepacking. It's amazing. I can clear a 29x1.95"" tire on the front-- although on the stock rims it measures 2.11""-- I will note it is VERY close to the top of the fork, however. I recently switched to 650b wheels and am hoping to get a 27.5x2.4"" in there; yet to be tested.The rear will hold about a 700x45. The bike performs well on singletrack and isn't as heavy as you'd think. I am very happy with the 1x drive train, and love those fork mounts for smaller bags/racks. To anyone looking to go on big (or small) adventures, or hoping to find a drop bar ridgid bike good for dirt, look no further.
