Winner of the “Bike of the Year Award”, the HVRT is a totally unique bike way ahead of its time. This is an all-out race bike, first and foremost. Don't let its additional features throw you off track. It's responsive and aggressive. However, we built in some unique solutions that will make this bike your best everyday companion. First of all, the HVRT offers the option to use big volume 700c rubber or even mount massive road plus tires on 650b hoops, ultimately transforming the HVRT into a road-plus pothole slayer. Secondly, thanks to the unique Twintip fork you can change your riding position and adjust the steering character of the bike. The first setting with steeper angles, smaller trail and a lower front will be the choice for racing. The alternative fork setting, that fits big tires and / or fenders, with slightly slacker angles is ideal for harsh, long endurance rides. 

Imagine this situation: you regularly do fast group rides and races on the weekends, but with your training you want to stay away from traffic and stay mostly on B-roads and gravel. When you travel with your bike abroad, you want to enjoy the epic roads, but you also want to explore that epic dirt road that run near the ocean. There is only one bike that can fit this with no compromises, and it’s the HVRT. Yes - you need is two sets of wheels to take full advantage of it, but that is a small compromise compared to having two bikes.  Your race-day and tarmac wheels could be a high-end carbon aero set. Your gravel wheelset could be a cheaper – an alloy 650B setup with 1.9” road plus tires will be perfect. 

But that’s not all. The real fun starts when you put the TwinTip fork into the mix. Slam the bike as low as possible for your road rides, or raise the front and slacken the head angle if you plan to do technical gravel. 

The difference in how the bike behaves in each setup is massive - a pure-bred race bike on the carbon wheels, a real offroad monster on the 650B’s (we are not talking about subtleties of typical “endurance” road bikes which may have slightly lower BB, a slightly more forgiving frame or 30mm tires. We are talking about a black-and-white, go-or-no-go kind of transformation). To put this in perspective: we know of guys who have won road races on the HVRT, and guys who have participated in long distance MTB challenges on the same bike! Sounds crazy, but it’s true.
