Taking off-road riding to its limits, the Beyond+ won’t take no for an answer. 2.8’’ tubeless ready tyres, as well as 27.5’’ diameter wheels, which will cruise over anything – a joy to ride unloaded but just as capable with a full rack of bike packing equipment. Powered by a Sram 12-speed SX Eagle groupset, only gradients close to vertical will be unmanageable, thanks to the impressive 11 – 50T cassette. And when you do crest the summit at a remarkable speed, twin-piston Level hydraulic brakes will stop the bike in an instant. With dropper post routing and suspension-corrected geometry, you can add both later if desired.

For intrepid explorers, the Beyond Junior is a bike built specifically for youngsters. Geometry from its elder siblings scaled-down plus 24-inch wheels, a nimble aluminium frame, and flared bars keep the bike manageable for smaller riders. Being smaller doesn’t mean you need to bring less with you either – the Beyond Junior still has the full range of mounting points as its developed counterparts. Tektro Lyra disc brakes provide adult-sized stopping power, and a 9-speed Microshift Advent drivetrain gives it welly to boot. Even the specifically designed ergonomic levers suit children’s hands.

The Audax, with its slender steel frame, light carbon fork, and many mounts for luggage, will let you take long-distance riding to the limit. As the kilometers roll by, hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power while a sub-compact chainset handles propulsion. A combination of WTB Horizon and Byway tires are fast-rolling over gravel, mud, or dirt. The integrated rear light mount brings discipline into the modern age. Topped off with Ritchey finishing kit, you’ll reach the coast before this bike gives up. Fast on tarmac, and smooth over broken ground, its broad tires contain enough air to carry you and your kit comfortably above a range of surfaces.
