Don't be deceived by its deliberately understated looks - the Travel EXC is no ordinary sports tourer
A lightweight machine built around Shimano's low-maintenance 8-speed Alfine hub gear and Gates' durable belt drive, it consigns rattling gears, oily chains and the chore of regular maintenance to the past. The classically elegant frame design features double-butted aluminium tubing for the best combination of low weight, high strength and great ride quality. We've built in enough clearance for tyres up to 47x622, giving access to a wide range of options suitable for the toughest of touring routes. Wherever you're headed and whatever load you're carrying, the low maintenance drive belt and smooth simplicity of the hub gears mean you can concentrate on the adventure, and stop worrying about the bike.
