Key Features
-
Geometry:
The Rock Tour's relatively upright geometry lets you enjoy the scenery around you while keeping your weight properly distributed for both sure climbing and descending - even with loads. These top tube lengths are short enough to allow you to mount drop bars, flat bars and, as shown above, even moustache bars. Gunnar offers an optional made-to-measure service for riders with special fitting needs.
Enjoy stable handling along with the compatibility with today's suspension forks. The optional Vicious Cycles rigid fork gives you the climbing efficiency that comes from a light steel unicrown design. -
Tubing:
Waterford exclusive OS2 butted tube sets, featuring True Temper OX Platinum air-hardening steel alloys, custom drawn to our rigorous specs. Toptube and downtube are flared at the head tube for greater surface contact and rigidity. Tubeset specifications vary by frame size to offer riders of all sizes the strength and stiffness they need. -
Brakes:
The Rock Tour comes with both disc and removable cantilever brake mounts; giving you the flexibility to choose just the right braking system for your needs. -
Rack Mounts:
The Rock Tour is designed to work with the Old Man Mountain series of racks. These racks let you mount an off-road compatible rack - both front and rear utilizing the cantilever studs. Generous chainstays and fork design leave you lots of room for big tires, big bags and heal clearance. - Fenders: You can even mount full rear fenders to bosses on the dropouts, seatstay bridge and chainstay bridge.
