Product Details
The Open UP Limited Edition Gravel Bike Frameset stands out as a pinnacle of design and performance, combining all the essential elements that make the UP series so exceptional. With its remarkable tire clearance, outstanding ride quality, and the flexibility to customize your build at Contender Bicycles, this frameset offers everything you need to create the gravel bike of your dreams. This limited edition frameset, painted in collaboration with Rapha Cycling Club, is not just about aesthetics; it's engineered to take you anywhere you desire on a fast gravel bike, whether it's smooth roads or rugged trails.
One of the standout features of the Open UP is its ultra-efficient tube shaping, which is meticulously designed to be lightweight while maintaining high strength. This ensures optimal power transfer, allowing you to ride with speed and efficiency. The tire clearance is another key highlight, accommodating large road, cyclocross, and gravel tires ranging from 32mm to 40mm. This versatility makes it perfect for mixed-surface rides, where you might encounter anything from smooth pavement to loose gravel. Additionally, the frameset features a continuous seattube, providing added comfort for long rides, reflecting Open's great attention to detail.
But what if you're looking for more than just a frameset and want a complete bike ready to ride? That's where Contender Bicycles steps in. Once you've selected the size of your OPEN x Rapha UP frame, you can start picking and choosing the components that suit your style.
