2025 Search A CUES

Singletrack, dirt roads, city parks, even the most remote backcountry trails — are you roaming or racing?

The Search A CUES is built for riders who want versatility without compromise. Modern gravel geometry pairs with a lightweight aluminum frame and a carbon fork featuring adventure mounts, making it equally at home on pavement, gravel, or long exploratory rides. A smooth-shifting Shimano CUES 2×10 drivetrain delivers reliable performance, while generous tire clearance up to 50c and mounts for full-coverage fenders, top-tube bags, and water bottles make this bike ready for everyday riding or multi-day adventures.
