The Gemini Is the best of both worlds
The features of the Gemini deliver for trail riders & tourers balanced perfectly for comfort & speed.
Pinion Smart.Shift System
Removing a chain and derailleur frees you of maintenance, upkeep, and field/conditions damage. With the Pinion Smart.Shift system, you gain lightning-fast gear shifting, 600% gear range for top end speed and low end climbing, and a balanced, low center of gravity ride. The Pinion Smart.Shift system delivers 100 riding hours of shifting on a charge and 6000 mile service interval (nearly 2 rides on the Continental Divide).
Always ready gates carbon drive belt
With a Gates Carbon Drive belt instead of a standard chain, there's no rust, no grease, and no routine maintenance to deal with. Strong enough for automotive application but specifically designed for the rigors of everyday cycling. Unchain your ride and free yourself from dirty hands, skipping chains, and greasy pant legs.
Drop Bar Shifting
Experience virtually immediate gearshifts at the touch of a button. The TRP Hywire integrated brake/shift levers offer a familiar and ergonomic feel with easy-to-reach shift buttons that are accessible from the hoods or the drops. With a modern shape, the 174 Hudson gravel handlebars offer multiple hand positions for comfort on a long ride, and 12-degrees of flare, the drops give confidence-inspiring leverage on technical descents.
Responsive Geometry
The geometry on the butted 6061 aluminum or Ti frame splits the difference between road and mountain bikes perfectly by offering more comfort and capability than a gravel race bike, but more performance than the “monster-cross” bikes out there. The upright ride with flared drops offers more comfort with the ability to gather and maintain speed.
STOP ON A DIME
The TRP Hywire brakes offer high-powered braking performance and plenty of modulation for ultimate control on and off road. Being fully-hydraulic and backed by one of the premier names in bicycle braking technology, not only do they provide ample performance and feel, but they require minimal upkeep regardless of your riding conditions.
Ready to roll
When it comes to tubeless, the WTB Vulpine tire and WTB KOM Team rims are a match made in gravel heaven. With TCS 2.0 tubeless technology, they work together to provide capability and confidence across various types of terrain. The Vulpine tires offer the perfect middle ground of grip and speed without sacrificing on-road handling and rolling speed. Its recessed knobs bite on loose dirt, but don't slow you down on firmer surfaces, and its rounded profile ensures predictable cornering on tarmac and packed dirt alike.
