MRB.

Shortly after I started my company I started building bikes that were meant to be used the way I use my everyday bike – on whatever road that lies ahead, paved or not. Here in Montana many of the roads turn to dirt when they leave the ‘big city’ and it’s a shame to ignore those wonderful empty road just because they aren’t paved. I nicknamed these bikes “Montana Road Bikes” or “MRB’s” and I’ve built a good number of them over the years.

Interestingly this riding of dirt roads has become a thing at this point and while I certainly can’t take credit for the trend I’m happy to see it happening as some of the best roads and adventures are unpaved and it’s good to see that all the folks that want to ‘Gravel Grind’ feel the same way.

While one certainly doesn’t need a special bike to ride on a dirt road it sure can make it more fun and stable and allow the rider to hammer instead of just ride……….and that’s what the bike below is designed to do. It’s designed with mixed surfaces in mind with geometry that will allow it to track very well when the surface gets loose or rough yet it’s still light and agile. This bike is built with Ultegra Di2 shifting as well as the new hydraulic road disc brakes and the wheels are handbuilt by Joe Young.

I look forward to seeing this bike dusty and dirty in its natural environment.

Thanks for looking –

Dave
