There's an undeniable allure to adventure bikes that sparks excitement, and it's no surprise that the prospect of this high-end gravel build has been generating a buzz of anticipation throughout the office in the lead-up to its realisation.

We were all stoked to witness that the result was even better than we had been dreaming up in our minds. A flawless assembly of high-end components to create what we can only describe as gravel bike perfection. The result is nothing short of a masterpiece - a bike so damn nice that you'd almost hesitate to ever drag it through the mud and puddles of the rural Bay of Plenty back roads for fear of disrupting its pristine beauty.
