Rondo RUUT AL 1 Gravel Bike 2022

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.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

• All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.
