Sport/Performance

Are you heading down the path least travelled? For a drop handlebar bike, the Hook EXT seldom faces terrain it cannot handle. A Columbus steel frame, a dedicated carbon fork and a sturdy 27.5’’ wheelset equip the EXT with an armoury to ride where other bikes would surely suffer. A Sram 1x11 Rival groupset suitably gives this machine the gears and brakes to match. As capable on backcountry campouts as it is on post-work blasts, the Hook EXT remains the choice when you’re unsure of the terrain, but know you want to have fun riding it.

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.
