It's right for you if...
You're looking for a light, fast, and capable hybrid bike with quality parts. You plan to use your bike to explore light trails, hit the pavement for fast fitness rides, run errands, and more.
The tech you get
A lightweight aluminum frame with sleek internal cable routing, a lightweight carbon fork, tubeless-ready Bontrager Kovee 650b wheels and wide 50c tires for capability and comfort on varied terrain, and a simple, yet durable 1x10 Shimano CUES drivetrain that ditches the front derailleur for easier operation. Don't worry, the wide-range 11-48 cassette still gives you all the gears you need to conquer hills and crush flats. Plus, powerful disc brakes and mounts for a rack and fenders.
The final word
Dual Sport 3 is fast and efficient on pavement and confident and capable on dirt and gravel trails. It has terrain-smoothing wheels and tires and a sturdy and simple 1x Shimano CUES drivetrain.
