RACE FAST. GO WIDE.

ABLE is the premier gravel race-bike of choice for two essential reasons: speed and stability. Its racing-focused geometry and sleek tube shapes enable its swift, road-bike responsiveness, while lowered chainstays and clearance for gargantuan 700x57mm tires give it near MTB-level performance capability to meet the demands of modern gravel events. Speed is nothing without control, and ABLE is a master of both.

Built to Suit

You can’t start your gravel build with a better canvas than ABLE. Optimized for up to 700x57mm tires, boasting a threaded bottom bracket, internal cable routing, and UDH, suspension fork, and dropper post compatibility—it’s a gravel racer’s dream machine. And we’re here to help. Just chat in or request a callback, and we’ll get going on selecting components for your custom ABLE build.

Custom Paint is Our Thing

You may have heard, but our studio is known for making masterpieces. Have a little idea floating in your head for custom paint on your ABLE? Select custom color on your frameset to work with our in-house maestros on styling your ABLE with a one-of-a-kind look.

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.

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.

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.
