Defender Bikes

New Variant V4 gravel bike just dropped! Here are some highlights:

- Revised geo for a bit more control during technical descent
- Semi internal cable routing, through the headset top cap
- 700 x53 mm clearance and 44 tooth chainring clearance (wide spindle)
- UDH dropouts
- t47 bb for maintenance that won’t make you pull your hair out

We took the V3 and made small tweaks to further refine the platform. We already had a great rig, this takes the Variant V3, Andes even more capability.

Steve from Hubs and Hops just knocked down his second unbound gravel on his Saluda/Variant! His comment to us was "the bike performed perfectly!!!... Not one issue!!" That's exactly what we like to hear from our riders. Steve's our hero 💪🏻💪🏻

We thrive on feedback from our customers. It moves us forward on creating the best bikes possible for all riders!

Owner Phil Reia's reactions to his first few rides on his newly built Orbit Race Beat Edition: It's a good weapon! Nimble, climbs like a machine. Fit feels good. AXS works great! So precise. Brakes feel good. Still dialing in the suspension for more low speed compliance neverless, the bike is awesome 👏👏👏
