As a highly versatile touring bike, bridge club perfectly hits the
sweet spot that separates on- and off-road excursions. It accounts
for both the planned and unplanned multi-surface outings which,
lets face it, every tour ends up being. Weve all run out the clock
on a dirt tour and had to add in some paved shortcuts. With bridge
club, those shortcuts wont feel sluggish. You might even enjoy
them! Conversely, if youre feeling a little zesty on your next road
tour, you wont be ill-prepared for reroutes through the woods.
The bridge club is designed to handle it all.
Bridge club is ultra-focused on simplicity. We deliberately kept it
leaner on braze-ons than some of our other touring bikes. It only
has the barnacles that matter most to the discerning bike tourist
like rack, fender, and three-pack mounts. This simple suite makes
it fully adept to handle a full rack and pannier setup, frame bags,
or a combination of the two. Run all of it together, bring all the
comforts of home, and still have plenty of space for souvenirs.
Bridge club is disc brake-specific and uses a single-position vertical
rear dropout. That simplicity makes for a high-functioning touring
bike thats not as intimidating as other bikes in the category.
To aid in its versatility, we designed it around 27.5 x 2.4 tires
but can handle up to 2.8s if youre going a little further off the
beaten path. We chose the 27.5 platform due to the cornucopia
of tire offerings in both road and mountain flavors, furthering
bridge clubs all-around touring abilities
