Horse Cycles All Road Adventure $3,150
The Road Adventure is an all-new offering from Horse Cycles. It was designed to optimize room for larger tires and gnarly terrain; this bike excels in the chunky stuff. It is designed around a slightly longer fork, with more trail, and is more stable when loaded down for touring and bike camping.

- 42mm Down tube for a stiffer, more stout ride
- Oversized 44mm head tube with reinforcement ring for ultimate control ( tapered headtube upgrade – very popular)
- Syntace dropouts for a seamless aesthetic
- Through axle front and rear – 12mm x 142mm rear / 12mm x 100mm front
- Flatmount disc 1-40mm-160 rear – 160 -180 front
- S-bend seat stays and chainstays for tire clearance.
- Rack mounts
- Tire Clearance: 27.5 x 2.25 – 55mm x 700c +

Cafe Du Cycliste and Bernot Caps Deadstock Re-Constructed Hats
Collaborating with Vilnius-based Bernot Caps, Cafe Du Cycliste took some of its headstock jerseys and upcycled them into three hats. This run is limited to only 10–20 pieces; each cap is remade in the Bernot Caps workshop in Lithuania, and the construction makes maximum use of as many components of the product as possible. There are three cap profiles and you can check them all out at Cafe Du Cycliste.

Inside Line Equipment Blaze/Forest Collection
New additions to our Blaze/Forest collection: Travel Pack, Default 25L, Pilot Bar Bag, and Load Cell – Cable. These pieces feature a combination of Blaze VX25, Forest X50, blaze reflective tape, and tonal trim; a nicely colorblocked layout that balances high vis orange with earthy green. Not too loud, not too subtle.
ILE first introduced the Blaze/Forest treatment two years ago on its Porteur Rackbag – Small, which led to experimenting with some one-off Travel Pack variations for the shop. ILE spent the past few months fine-tuning the concept before officially expanding the lineup to include these new styles.
Roll on over to ILE to see the full collection!
