Omnivolens is Latin for “willing all things.” It’s the perfect name for the kind of bike that can do it all: from singletrack to paved roads. While this won’t be doing any World Cup Downhill courses, it is the go-to bike for just about anything. It is a very fast on gentle XC singletrack and really shines on gravel roads.

This bike is about details: full internal cable and hose routing, custom-mixed Cerakote colors and graphics, matching fork, and Chris King bearings.
