Nothing lifts the spirits like freewheeling down country lanes – and that's what the Touring was built for. Light, comfortable, easy to use and fully equipped with carrier, lights, mudguards and kickstand, it's got 'let's go for a picnic this weekend' written all over it. Not literally, of course...The Touring EXC is our versatile all-rounder. With the slick shifting and legendary reliability of Shimano's Deore 3x10 gears - plus powerful, all-weather hydraulic disc brakes - it's ideally equipped to help you with everyday journeys and one-off adventures alike. The Suntour suspension fork - with lockout - helps smooth out the lumps and bumps of modern roads. There's a neat luggage carrier for all your essentials. We fitted full-length mudguards to help keep you dry. And the dynamo-powered lighting system means you can always see and be seen. Where will it take you next?
Feed your curiosity. The Kathmandu is our rugged, go-anywhere tourer – built to take on a weekend ride through a national park or tour across a mountain range. Fully equipped with everything you need for a nomadic life on the road, just add a tent, stove and sleeping bag for instant adventure.Completely redesigned for 2022, we've taken everything that's good about the Kathmandu and made it even better. So, for example, the reworked Integrated Carrier 3.0 is designed to work seamlessly with our Acid mudguard. We've fitted a flat mount for the rear disc brake - it also accommodates the kickstand - and used Smooth Welding to give the frame joints a tidy, organic appearance. But it's not all about looks. We also upgraded the rear end to a thru axle and added a tapered head tube for improved rigidity and steering precision, even when fully laden. With internal cable routing to keep your gear shifts smooth with minimal maintenance, we reckon we've thought of everything. Just don't forget your toothbrush...
