Rondo RUUT AL 1 Gravel Bike

The ideal off-road adventure bike for gravel riding, bike packing advenutres and long days in the saddle, the RUUT AL1 is comfortable, dependable and versatile for whatever the journey throws your way. It feautres a strong and lightweight custom formed 6061-alloy frame, TwinTip 2.0 Carbon forks that offer adjustable geometry and it is equipped with a SRAM Apex 1 groupset. This SRAM 11-Speed gearset has a wide-ranging 11-42-tooth cassette for steep hill climbs and all-condition efficiency while the hydraulic disc brakes ensure superb stopping power in all weather conditions. It also rolls upon Tubeless Ready Rondo Aluminium wheels wrapped in fast-rolling and high-grip Vittoria Terreno Dry tyres.

The RUUT AL1 is the most versatile bike in the Rondo collection. It’s a hardcore commuter, training partner, adventure seeker, and cyclocross racer all in one. With new classy colours, the RUUT AL1 features a light yet wrecking ball-tough frame, a Selle Italia Model X saddle for comfort over rough surfaces, a bomb-proof drivetrain, and all the fender, rack, and cargo mounts that an adventure rider needs.

This bike has a TwinTip 2.0 fork made with FLY technology. A lighter, horizontally stiffer, and more compliant edition of Ronodo’s trademark fork. Internal cable routing gives a clean appearance. Versatile and reliable 700 X 40 Vittoria Terreno Dry tyres offer superior grip on varied terrain. This bike is the perfect companion for spontaneous tarmac to trail exploration.

Agile and Durable Adventure Gravel Bike

The RUUT range was born from the need to have a do-it-all bike. One that would be comfortable enough for backpacking and long-distance riding, but at the same time would retain a clearly sporty character. The crew at Rondo are all competitive cyclists – they ride fast, they race – but they don’t need a bike for the Cyclo Cross (CX) World’s. What they want from a drop-bar bike is to be able to go long, and go fast, especially on rough roads. So, after over two years of development, they came up with a tool that we believe is the ultimate solution for real-world riders.

Twin-Tip Fork Technology Easy-Adjust Geometry

This bike features Rondo’s “TwinTip” forks, which enable the rider to change the geometry to suit the terrain/riding type. This is thanks to their adjustable dropouts, which can be set in the “HI” setting for steeper angles for a low and aggressive road bike feel, or the “LO” setting for a slightly longer wheelbase and slacker angles, making it ideal for endurance or off-road adventure riding.
