Rondo Ruut AL 1 Gravel Bike 2021

Rondo Ruut AL 1 Gravel Bike

The Rondo Ruut AL 1 was engineered with the ultimate in performance, durability and versatility in mind. This modern gravel bike features a custom-formed alloy frame and Rondo TwinTip 2.0 carbon forks that offer adjustable geometry to suit your riding style. Plus, it has a SRAM Apex1 11-Speed groupset with a wide-ranging 11-42 tooth cassette and hydraulic disc brakes, giving you an ultra-efficient gear transmission and outstanding all-weather braking performance. This bike is ideal for riding gravel trails, off-road routes and long-distance road trekking adventures far from the beaten track.

Versatile, Comfortable and Competitive Gravel Race Bike

The Ruut range was born from the need to have a very versatile bike. One that would be comfortable enough for backpacking and long-distance riding, but at the same time would retain a clearly sporty character. The crew at Rondo are all competitive cyclists - they ride fast, they race - but they don't need a bike for the CX World's. What they want from a drop-bar bike is to be able to go long, and go fast, especially on rough roads. So, after over two years of development, they came up with a tool that we believe is the ultimate solution for real-world riders.

Superlite Aluminium Frame and Carbon TwinTip Adjustable Geometry Forks

Ideal for off-road gravel racing and long-distance touring, Rondo’s Ruut AL 1 is engineered and equipped with modern construction and superb components. It features a strong and lightweight aluminium frame, carbon TwinTip forks, a SRAM Apex 1x11 groupset and hydraulic disc brakes that take you anywhere with confidence and composure.

SRAM Apex 11-Speed Drivetrain and Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Designed with performance in mind, this ride is built to be strong, lightweight and reliable, giving agility and control over rougher terrains. Plus, its SRAM Apex 11-Speed drivetrain gets you up the steepest hills, while SRAM hydraulic disc brakes control your momentum on the descent. Finally, it rolls fast upon Rondo Superlite wheels wrapped in grippy WTB Nano tyres and features mounts for carrier racks and mudguards.

Twin-Tip Fork Technology for Easy-Adjust Geometry

This bike features Rondo’s “TwinTip” forks, which enable the rider to change the geometry to suit the terrain/riding type. This is thanks to their adjustable dropouts, which can be set in the “HI” setting for steeper angles for a low and aggressive road bike feel, or the “LO” setting for a slightly longer wheelbase and slacker angles, making it ideal for endurance or off-road adventure riding.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

• All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.
