ABLE EX Frameset

This ABLE features an externally routed front end for a more traditional cockpit install, letting you build your dream gravel bike with a more relaxed approach when running cables.

Carbon frame
External cable routing
Wireless, 1x drivetrains only

EXTERNAL ROUTING

Designed to work with traditional, externally-routed stems accommodating a 1-⅛” steerer tube, this ABLE takes the pressure off installing a fully internal component setup. For an old-school look or running a cockpit you’ve already in your gear bin, this is the gravel race frameset you’ve been waiting for. Additionally, if you want to set up fully internal routing in the future, this frameset accommodates our ST03 stem to do so—however, the cable port on the fork will remain.

MODERN ENGINEERING

This frameset may be externally routed, but ABLE is the new wave of gravel-race design, and we engineered it for compatibility only with wireless, 1x drivetrains—meaning mechanical or previous Di2 systems will not work with this frameset. Tire clearance for up to 700x57mm tires dominates every gravel condition, a threaded bottom bracket eases maintenance and boosts durability, and ABLE is compatible with UDH, suspension forks, and dropper posts—it’s a modern gravel racer’s dream machine.

Geometry

Unflinching confidence and performance in every gravel condition is what ABLE is all about. With race-focused rider positioning, nimble handling, and stable tracking, ABLE feels like a rocket when it’s time to hit the gas and planted when the tracks get rough.

Frequently Asked Questions

700 x 45mm is the smallest tire we recommend for handling characteristics and safety. Any smaller would lower the bottom bracket and increase the risk of pedal strikes in corners and off road.

29 x 2.25/57mm MEASURED Width (Note: tire manufacturers measure differently, so it’s best to use calipers to check that the tire isn’t over 57mm wide). For more details, see our compatibility guide here.

The ABLE frame was designed, proto-typed and fully tested in-house at our factory in Rogers, AR. The carbon lay-up and molding on the front triangle and rear triangle take place at an external factory based in Asia. Each raw carbon part produced at the external factory undergoes a rigorous in-house quality inspection and paint preparation to ensure the highest standards. The ST03 stem is manufactured fully in-house at our Rogers location. Finally, the frame is custom-painted and assembled to each customer’s unique order at our Rogers facility, then goes through a final inspection and test ride before leaving the factory. You can read more about our manufacturing updates here.

No, the ABLE frame is purposely designed for 1x to maximize tire clearance with the shortest chainstay possible.

Wolftooth Premium IS41/52 with a custom dust-cap and spacers to match our STO3 stem design. If you are running a standard externally routed stem, it will also accommodate any IS41/52 headset like Chris King Dropset 3.

Yes, it can fit gravel-specific forks from Rockshox, Fox, and Cane Creek. You will need to use a standard stem and ported Eagle cable guide. Keep in mind, most suspension forks will limit tire clearance per the recommendation of the fork manufacturer.

Yes, all of our bikes and models ship set up tubeless with Orange Seal sealant.

Up to 50 tooth in the front using a SRAM Wide, or GRX 1x cranksets.

Yes, please select 'Custom' for the paint option when your purchase your ABLE and we will follow up to confirm what paint option you are looking for. Keep in mind, the $750 is the starting price for custom paint, which covers the cost of matching most standard auto paint colors, but additional colors, complex colors and design work will incur additional labor and materials costs that we will quote.

We do offer a version of the ABLE with externally routed ABLE fork for the front brake, and an Eagle with external cable port for the rear brake, and standard IS41/52 headset compatible with standard stems.

No, the ABLE is designed for wireless electronic drivetrains only, with or without our internal stem.
