Full Ultegra 11-speed drive train, TRP Spyre mechanical discs and Clement X’PLOR MSO tires at a generous 40mm width defy the bike’s entry-level price.
We spent four days riding hundreds of miles of Iowa gravel on the Tamland and developed a deep appreciation for this bike’s ability to handle long days and rough roads.
