Off-Road Shock Absorption Bicycles

The Urwahn Bikes 'Acros' Supports the Needs of Off-Roaders

— May 8, 2021 — Lifestyle
The Urwahn Bikes 'Acros' gravel bike is an off-road-ready solution for explorers seeking to get off the beaten path without losing sight of capability and comfort. The bicycle is achieved with a steel frame that uses a series of separate steel tubes that have been joined together using 3D-printed steel connectors. This enables the bike to have a seamless finish, while the shock-absorbing design will ensure the utmost comfort when spending extended periods in the off-road environment.

The Urwahn Bikes 'Acros' gravel bike is paired with a lightweight custom wheelset along with SRAM Force 22 hydraulic disc brakes, an internal cable routing system and a 1 x 12 SRAM Force AXS drivetrain. Riders can also add in LED head and tail lights, if desired.
