Road

Gunning for the race win or digging deep for a PR, this composite road racing bike gives you the speed, efficiency and control to push it to the limit, and then a little bit more. Reengineered with updated aerodynamic tube shaping in the headtube, downtube and fork, plus added clearance for larger diameter tires, this all-rounder delivers outstanding on-the-road efficiency. The Variant seatpost adds just enough compliance to give it a balanced, race-tuned feel on the road. And with its integrated disc-brake technology, it's an all-weather, all-conditions race machine.

The versatile Hook EXT TI distils the rough-and-ready yet comfortable nature of the Hook collection. Light and responsive, the titanium frame partners alongside a V2 carbon fork with triple cage mounts, as well as a multitude of luggage configurations for added cargo options. Fitted with Shimano’s latest electronic GRX Di2 groupset, a double crankset provides close-ratios but a wide range. Making tubeless set-up easy, its lightweight WTB EZR rims and fast rolling WTB Ranger TCS Light tyres provide excellent speed and traction across mixed conditions. This agile adventure bike is the perfect companion for technical backcountry raids.
