EXPLORO RACEMAX ORANGE/GREY

Full-aero gravel frameset for speed on-road and off. Choose 700c RACE or 650b MAX set-up.

SPEED IS EVERYTHING

Choose the Exploro RaceMax if you crave road bike speed on- and off-road.

Next-level aerodynamics with rear wheel cutout, narrow headtube, bottle shielding downtube & aero profiles all around.

Whether riding road or gravel, we love speed. So everything on the RaceMax frame is engineered for that. The end result is the first gravel bike that:

• Looks like a road bike
• Rides like a road bike
• Rips through gravel

Best of all, the very same RaceMax frame can be built up with a focus on pure speed with 35-46mm WAM tires in 700c can also be turned into an unstoppable machine with very wide tires p to 61mm WAM.

Handy for that epic ride or trip abroad. And with two wheelsets, you can switch between the two setups easily. That’s RaceMax.

PERFECT AERO CUTOUT: Close-fitting cutout to shield the rear wheel and achieve the most speed.

MIND THE GAP: No oversized gaps between the front tire & downtube for better airflow transition and less turbulence.

HUGE CLEARANCE: The original Exploro set today’s standard for up to 54mm tire clearance. The RaceMax has up to 61mm!

75MM DOWNTUBE BASE: Lower downtube aero profile is 75mm wide to fully shield the water bottle.

50MM DOWNTUBE NECK: Upper downtube necks down to 50mm to pick up the airflow coming off the front tire.

SIZE-SPECIFIC DOWNTUBE: Reduced depth on smaller sizes to keep frame compliant and keep space for bottles.

NARROW HEADTUBE: Headtube is sized like a road bike for a small 1 1/4” steerer for optimal aerodynamics.

BIG STEERER: Inside that narrow headtube is a big 1 1/2” steerer for best strength and stiffness.

MINMAX HEADSET: To fit this big steerer inside the narrow headtube, we use the custom MinMax headset.

MINIMALIST CROWN: Fork crown shapes haven’t changed much since brakes were attached there. Now that we have disc brakes, we don’t need that bulk of material and can reshape the crown for better strength, stiffness and weight. Plus better aerodynamics.

PURE-ROAD FORK LENGTH: With the shorter crown, we can make our forks 25mm (1 inch) shorter than other gravel bikes. Exactly the same as a road fork. This offers better stiffness, lower weight, easier steering geometry and better aerodynamics.

DOUBLE-DROP CHAINSTAYS: Dropping the drive-side chainstay improves tire & crank clearance. Dropping the other side as well creates a much more efficient structure behind the BB for higher stiffness & strength as well as lower weight.

INTEGRATED FENDER MOUNTS: Invisible until you need them. Perfect for our custom fenders.
