The Crux 5 was born from the fastest gravel race bike ever made. Not just because it’s the lightest. Not just because it’s our most aero. Not just because it handles dirt like a Tarmac handles pavement. But because it delivers the lowest real-world Time to Finish of any gravel bike ever made. Crux 5 turns more of your effort into pure speed—validated for real race courses, real terrain, and real riders.

With its low, open frame, the E3 Pro's unique size makes it suitable for riders from 4ft 11 to 6ft. 27"5 wheels increase pedaling inertia and thus its range.

A huge Thank you to our friends at the Medway Community Forest Cooperative for partnering with us to host the MEDWAY GRAVEL RIDE last Sunday! The weather worked out perfectly as the winds ushered the rain and clouds through to reveal a sunny afternoon as we rolled along the route. It was a treat to explore the wilderness area and working forests that make up part of the lands managed by the MCFC and are such an important part of the history and current economy of the region.

SWEET RIDE THURSDAY NIGHT GRAVEL RIDES start June 4th at 6:30pm Starting Thursday, June 4th we will host our weekly gravel rides departing from Mahone Bay at 6:30pm to roughly 8:30 pm. All rides will be approximately 90+ minutes in duration depending on individual speed and will have some level of mixed surface (pavement, good gravel, rough gravel) depending on the route.

On Sunday, June 7th, we are co-hosting a group gravel ride with Medway Community Forest Co-op!  This ride is 47km long and will take us through the forests managed by MCFC and the Medway Lakes Wilderness Area. You will find the route map and details on the sign up page on the Cycling Nova Scotia site. This is a rolling route over good gravel roads, with 400+m of elevation - just enough effort and challenge to prepare you for the BBQ afterward.

The Roubaix is a great platform for local riding, if you are looking to mix a bit of road and a bit of rail-trail. This isn’t a gravel bike per se, but a performance-minded chassis with clearance for 40mm tires. Perfect for mixed-surface riding and long days of exploring the South Shore. We love the versatility of the Roubaix – ride the rail trail out of town to reach the quiet paved roads and use the dirt roads to connect your loop.
