OVERVIEW
The Rudy delivers more control, more confidence, and more fun to the emerging breed of lycra loving, or baggy wearing, gravel free spirits. This isn't a "shrink it" development story, Rudy was built from the ground up to match today's most capable gravel bikes. Going Ultimate means every detail is considered. Rudy Ultimate XPLR features the ultra-lightweight Charger™ Race Day damper paired with a chiseled machined and anodized crown. Versatility and style are key. That's why Rudy Ultimate XPLR features full fender compatibility, plenty of tire clearance, and a new "Kwiqsand" Signature colorway.
