Adventure Ready:

The F/GR is built of robust carbon materials making it ready to tackle anything nature can throw at it. As on all of our frames, we combine simple, user-friendly solutions and clean, Nordic design into the perfect package. Whether your adventure takes you over high mountain plains or through urban jungles, the F/GR is the perfect companion. 

In addition to the added the Fara Cycling IBS (Integrated Bikepacking System), the frame also boasts triple fork mounts for additional carrying capacity and stealthy fender mounts for those wet weather conditions. 

Speaking of stealthy solutions, we also integrated an internal Stash Hatch compartment for storage of all your necessary tools and spares. You can even stick an emergency rain jacket or anything else you might need in there!

Internal Cable Routing:

The F/GR incorporates our unique internal cable routing system allowing all cabling to enter the frame through the headset before they are fully internally routed to front and rear derailleurs and brakes. The gives the bike an overall clean appearance, makes it more practical for attaching bags and eliminates all holes in the frame where dirt and water can get in.

Should you need to change a wire, simply thread it from the lever to the derailleur in one go. Any standard bar and stem combination can be used, making set-up, service and travel easy. You get all of the advantages of fully internal cable routing without the hassles of complicated designs and proprietary parts.

Total integration for Bikepacking:

A good bikepacking set-up should be looked at as a complete system. From the bike to the bags and the gear you carry. We’ve put endless miles on the road and spent countless nights in tents, and know just how important this is.

We teamed up with industry-leading bag makers Roswheel, utilizing their lightweight and waterproof welded technology and paired this with an attachment system by Fidlock allowing us to eliminate the straps all together, yet still allow the bags to be removed quickly and easily. The result is a bag system that will attach and detach easily in seconds and fits perfectly to the F/GR frame geometry. Bag Volumes: Handlebar Bag - 12L Seat Pack - 15L Frame Bag: S: 2,3L,M: 2,6L, L: 3,2L, XL: 3,6L Total capacity: 30L.

Curved Seat Stays:

Adding to the comfort and capabilities of the F/GR are the dropped, curved seat-stay design using specially blended carbon fibres for increased vertical compliance (ie. shock absorption).

The simple design adds benefit without using complicated, additional components. Together with generous tire volume, the complete package results in a supple ride and fantastic grip without sacrificing lateral stiffness.

Feather-weight:

Optimized design and advanced manufacturing techniques have allowed us to produce a robust, yet feather-light carbon fiber frameset. Weighing in at a respectable 1050g (size 53, with paint), the F/GR is capable over all types of terrain.

Massive Tire Clearance:

One of the features that makes the F/GR stand out from the crowd is the massive tire clearance, up to 700c x 50mm. The frame is compatible with both 700c and 650b formats as well, allowing a multitude of tire and wheel combinations for all types of terrain.

Intuitive Fit Road geometry:

Sizes from 49cm to 59cm fit nearly every rider. Whether you are 160cm or 200cm, the four size options are ideally suited to be adapted to provide you with an optimal fit.
