The Substance is the bike that will go anywhere you point it; on whatever surface you choose.

With a UD carbon frame, tapered headtube, and full carbon forks, the Substance carbon is born tough and light. This bike can go as hard and fast as you want it to or be a lightweight friend for long distance relaxed epic. With the addition of mounts for luggage, mud guards and multiple bottles it’s also capable of the biggest bike packing or touring adventures.

The Substance CRX-1 is a high-performance adventure gravel bike. Featuring SRAM’s Force 1 hydraulic groupset, giving you a gear range that can copy with any terrain.

The handlebars feature a flat top section for added comfort on and off-road, with the Substance CRX-1 featuring a 16 degree bar flare.
