Description

From commutes to gravel rides and Sunday loops, the CGR AL SPORTFIT delivers a more upright and confident position for mixed-terrain rides. It pairs a 7005-series hydroformed aluminium frame with flat bars for extra comfort and control, a wide range SRAM Apex XPLR groupset, durable DT Swiss G 1800 alloy wheels, and Schwalbe G-One Allround tyres. Finished with a Selle Italia Novus Boost saddle, it puts you in charge, whatever your ride.

Frameset

Built from upgraded 7005-series aluminium, the CGR AL frameset is lighter and tougher than ever. Hydroformed tubing gives it the clean, aero profile of our Allroad SL R carbon bike, bringing that performance edge to a more accessible platform. Internal cable routing keeps things tidy and works with integrated cockpits for a clean front end. A T47 bottom bracket boosts stiffness and makes internal routing easier, so power transfer stays smooth and handling stays sharp.

Frameset

Groupset

When you want your bike to do everything, you need the gears to match. Apex XPLR hits the sweet spot, offering smooth jumps over a big gear range, with the added security and simplicity of a 1x drivetrain and the quiet confidence of hydraulic braking. Rapid and reliable, the wide-range gearing gives you the freedom to go full-gas on gravel, bike pack into the unknown or enjoy a casual cruise.

Groupset

Wheelset

Built tough with a wide rim profile, the DT Swiss G 1800 Spline wheels offer solid handling and comfort on everything from loose gravel to smooth tarmac. Paired with 40mm Schwalbe G-One tyres, it's a setup that’s just as ready for back-lane exploring as it is for fast road miles.

Wheelset

Handlebars

Flat bars put you in a relaxed, upright position so you’ve got a clear view and better control on varied terrain. Ergonomic grips add comfort on longer rides, and the lightweight Ribble alloy stem keeps things steady and responsive, on back lanes, gravel, and everything in between.

Handlebars

Saddle

Stay comfortable and in control, even when the trail gets rough. The hidden seatpost clamp, D-shaped alloy post and Selle Novus Boost Evo saddle work together to soak up the buzz and smooth out the ride.
