BAHOOKIE DROPBAR ROHLOFF

Rohloff equippped drop bar off-road tourer

The Bahookie in it's drop-bar guise is definitely the most versatile bike in our range. Inspired by multi-day/multi-week self supported rides like the Tour Divide and our own HT550 and Cairngorm Loop, the Bahookie is built to get you through the hardest of times and the wildest of terrain. If you're not sure what tyres/wheel combination will work best on your next trip, the Bahookie has you covered. The 2017 Bahookie will take knobbly 2.5" 29er tyres or 650B+ tyres up to 3". The front has additional clearance for a 29+ tyre (with steel or carbon fork option). For a fast rolling mile muncher on slightly less technical trail, the Bahookie flies along with a narrower 29er less aggressive tread. A real off-road tourer. The specially selected Columbus tubeset provides a lightweight, stiff and predictable ride. With a choice of rigid carbon fork for simple and lightweight handling, a steel fork complete with dynamo routing, rack mounts and 'AnythingCage' mounts or a suspension fork for the more technical, bruising rides, the limits of your adventure will be down to you, not the bike.

The Drop-bar Bahookie shares all of the same traits as our Flat-bar Bahookie Adventure 29er but with an adapted geometry, riding position and tube selection optimised for drop bars. Having multiple hand positions available on the drops is vital for comfort and safety on long gruelling off road rides. Being able to stretch out onto the hoods or drop down onto the drops when things get a little technical can really help with avoiding fatigue and the issues coming from cramped riding positions.

As with all the models using our 100+ platform, the Bahookie Drop-bar is designed to be as versatile as possible. Modular dropouts provide options for the following drivetrain options :

• Rohloff speedhub
• 1 X 11 derailleur
• Singlespeed

The Bahookie Rohloff is also beltdrive ready (a neat splitter is concealed within the PolyDrop dropouts) for the ultimate in reliability and ease of maintenance.

Singlespeed, and derailleur versions of this bike use Boost spacing front and rear (148x12 rear, 110x15 front). The Rohloff version uses 135x10 QR rear and Boost front. Tyre clearance is the same for all models.

Custom fit/geometry is available on this bike.

Power/Lighting/Charging

The Supernova E3 Pure3 dynamo light is one of the smallest, lightest and brightest dynamo lights available on the market. Designed specifically for off-road use the E3 Pure3 has a beam pattern that works well even when your travelling at lower speeds, on technical climbs for instance. There are a couple of different mounting options available depending on fork choice. More details here : Supernova website.

The Sinewave Revolution is a self-contained USB charging solution. The Revolution connects to your dynamo hub and provides a USB charger output to keep your electronics (phone, GPS, camera etc) fully charged on longer trips. Works with or without a dynamo light. More details here : Sinewave website.

The SON28 dynamo hub is widely regarded as one of the most efficient and well constructed dynamo hubs available today. Designed to output more power at slower speeds than most dynamo hubs, it is a perfect match for the Supernova range of lights. More details here : SON28 website.

Hub only : £260, Hub & light : £390, Hub, light & USB charger : £515

Custom Sizing

If for some reason we can't get you to fit one of our production sizes, we can normally tweak the geometry so we can get a perfectly fitting bike. It may be that you have slightly uncommon proportions, you may have a body issue that restricts movement or flexibility or you may just have a preference for a particular setup. We have loads of experience with fitting and are particularly good at working remotely if you're unable to to visit. Simple changes (95% of our semicustom bikes fit into this category) normally cost £200. We may need to charge more if the changes are more complex.

Upgrade cost : (from) £200
