La Ruta Sport
$1,899.99
A new range of adventure bikes for those who are serious about cycling (we are!) and like to take the road less travelled (we do!). The La Ruta Race gravel bike is a wonderful modern classic on 650B road plus tires and sexy steel frames. These bicycles offer the perfect balance between function and form, between simplicity and technology, between retro looks and modern features.
The La Ruta Sport is a pure blooded gravel bike. Gravel is king, and we know it. The Sport is a bike for anyone who wants to take up cycling but does not know yet which direction this hobby will lead. It's also a bike for experienced road or mountain bike riders who are dead serious about their sport and want a bike for training through the winter that can double up as an all-season commuter. In fact, the range of applications of gravel bikes is virtually unlimited. Everyone in our closest circle of friends is crazy about them, and the La Ruta Sport is a unique take on this - classic looks that are combined with high performance and modern functions.

CORRECT FRAME SIZE:
To check if the frame size is right, the rider should straddle the bicycle while wearing the kind of shoes which will be used for riding and stand straight with feet on the ground. The minimum distance between the rider’s crotch and top tube should be 5 cm (approx. 2 inches). This method of measuring the correct frame size does not apply to bicycles with step-through frames, or so called “lady” frames. In case of these frames, correct frame size should be determined first on a traditional diamond frame (so called “men’s” frame).
FRAME MEASUREMENTS:
This is the length of the seat tube, measured from the center of bottom bracket to top of the seat tube.
