Journeyer Flat Bar Acolyte 650b is all about finding the easiest path to gravel riding. The aluminum frame and Fantail aluminum fork are designed with our all-around gravel geometry for a comfortable riding position. The flat handlebar grants more leverage and keeps you seated upright. Our on-bike cargo features give you a place to store everything you might need on your rides, from bottle and accessory mounts to front and rear racks and Three-Pack fork mounts. 650b x 47 mm wheels and tires provide plenty of cushion and grip for a comfortable, confident ride. MicroSHIFT’s simple, reliable, and wide-range Acolyte 1 x 8 drivetrain rounds out this flat bar gravel bike build for a do-it-all machine that’s happy to check out new gravel routes or take you around town.

*In the bicycle industry, suppliers and factories sometimes change specs without notice and state that they are "subject to change without notice". This is because bicycles are made from hundreds of parts which come from dozens of vendors. Parts are sometimes updated to the most current production generation/iteration one gets better or more current parts or a comparable part. Product specifications are subject to change without notice.
