Product Information
Full details
The Pinnacle Cerium Gravel is designed for riders seeking versatility, whether it's for gravel adventures, daily commutes, or multi-day bike-packing trips. It excels as a do-it-all bike, offering the added control and comfort of a full-suspension design, especially for those stepping up from hardtail mountain bikes. However, its performance is best suited for varied terrains and not specifically for high-speed road cycling. Key features include a 6061 Alloy frame, Microshift Sword 2x9 speed drivetrain, and Tektro Mira disc brakes.
