2025 Search A Flat Bar

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

If drop bars aren’t your thing but you still want the freedom of gravel riding, the Search A Flat Bar is built for adventure. Featuring modern gravel geometry, a lightweight aluminum frame, and a carbon fork with adventure mounts, it’s ready to explore beyond the pavement. A dependable Shimano CUES 1×9 drivetrain, clearance for tires up to 50c, and mounts for fenders, top-tube bags, and water bottles make this a versatile do-it-all gravel machine.
