The Rough Road Renegade: Introducing the Curve GMX+ Steel

Reportage By: Sam Rice

The Rough Road Renegade: Introducing the Curve GMX+ Steel

Is it a drop-bar mountain bike? A gravel rig on ‘roids? Or a bike from another dimension? When it comes to codifying bikes these days, it’s really easy to get really lost (real quick). However, once in a while, a bike comes along that challenges the norm, flips the bird to conventional geo numbers, and stands alone: not as an outlier, but as an original. Sam Rice has been test riding Curve Cycling‘s long-awaited GMX+ and shares his thoughts on why it isn’t “just another touring bike” below, along with a look at their updated Seek 430 FM carbon fork.

A Double Header of Dispatches from a Canadian Summer

Long tours are often lauded as being the ultimate way to tour but getting out for overnighters, here and there when the schedule allows, can be just as powerful an experience. Amidst general life busyness, photographer and pedaling-enthusiast Pat Valade makes time for a couple overnight bike campouts this summer. It should be no surprise that he packed the camera and we’re stoked to share the following doubleheader photo essay and its myriad glimpses offered into the Canadian summer. 

Curve Cycling’s New Remlaw Bar is a Flat Bar for Drop Bar Bikes

Curve Cycling’s New Remlaw Bar is a Flat Bar for Drop Bar Bikes

Straya’s Curve Cycling knows if you put standard flat bars on a drop-bar bike it drastically shortens your reach and adversely affects the handling of the bike. That’s why they designed and developed the Remlaw Bar, which is designed to match the same reach and handling properties of a drop bar. With 12° of sweep-back, hand positioning remains similar to that when using the hoods on a drop bar.

Curve Cycling’s New and Improved Belgie Ultra Ti All-Road Endurance Bike

Australia’s Curve Cycles have been pursuing an expansive catalog of titanium bikes since the brands inception. The latest model is the Belgie Ultra, a titanium all road endurance bike. After their sponsored rider Jesse Carlsson’s winning ride during the 2015 Trans Am Bike Race, Curve wanted to take the Belgie name further and capture the spirit of Australian endurance cycling, so they designed the Belgie Spirit to take on the 5,545km Indian Pacific Wheel Race and celebrate the rich history of the Australian Overlanders from the 1890s. The Belgie Ultra is a lighter and sleeker sibling to the original Belgie Spirit.
