At \u003cstrong\u003e7.86 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e (54 cm), it reaches race weight without requiring custom spec work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drivetrain is a deliberate mullet configuration: \u003cstrong\u003eSRAM FORCE AXS XPLR\u003c\/strong\u003e wireless shifting up front, GX Eagle T-Type rear derailleur, and a 10-52T cassette paired with a 42T chainring. That delivers road-level front shifting quality with mountain bike rear range — practical for courses where climbs demand low gears but the flats still reward speed. The FORCE XPLR crankset includes an \u003cstrong\u003eintegrated power meter\u003c\/strong\u003e as standard. Vision SC45 i23 carbon wheels and Continental Terra Competition Race Rapid 700x45c tires complete the build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGravel racers who want an FRD-level frame and cockpit at a step-down price\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders who regularly face mixed terrain — paved sectors, loose gravel, and sustained climbs — and need the range a 10-52T cassette provides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCyclists who train with power data and don't want to source a separate power meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders comfortable committing to a size-specific integrated cockpit for aerodynamic and weight benefits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eConsider a different bike if\u003c\/em\u003e you prefer a traditional bar\/stem setup for easy fit adjustments, primarily race flat or rolling courses, or want a more relaxed endurance geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCockpit fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e The integrated carbon cockpit is frame-size-specific.
