Straight from “throughout the pond” within the UK, comes information that Pearson Bikes has launched a brand new titanium Across the Outdoors gravel bike. A motorcycle, they are saying, is made for expedition and the “most cargo” that entails.
I do know the headline for this new piece was fairly humorous. Nonetheless, the reality is that the unique model of the Round The Outdoors (ATO) was, really impressed by the common 80s hit by Malcolm McLaren. I’m unsure if that’s cool or not… that tune was kinda dumb.

Now, the primary model of Pearson’s ATO was additionally devoted to “most cargo”. However, this newly up to date ATO affords the identical cargo capability with a geometry created by Pearson Home Design to ensure the rider the “‘”most sustainable” driving place.
Although the bike has a smooth roadie-type aesthetic, the ATO is “each bit as succesful as a contemporary mountain bike”. It may be run as a 1x with a most clearance for a 42t chainring. It’s geared up with inside routing and a plethora of mounting bosses.
For the body’s building, Pearson makes use of high-spec titanium as a lifetime materials that gives the shock-absorbing qualities of metal and a greater weight-to-strength ratio than carbon. The ATO options high-quality 3AL 2.5V (Grade 9) hand-drawn tubes to mix power with agility.
Pearson says the curved downtube permits “for additional clearance for each the entrance wheel and baggage, in addition to bigger tire sizes”. The ATO sports activities sufficient clearance for 29×2.2″ or 27.5×2.3 (650bx60mm) tires.
You may get the ATO with a inflexible carbon fork and drop bars or with flat bars and a brief journey (40mm) FOX entrance suspension fork.
It even has routing for a dropper submit and dynamo lighting, plus routing for a USB prime cap port (good).
The carbon fork affords adaptable cage mounting factors and interchangeable dropouts for a 50 or 58mm offset. For example, swapping lets you change the fork’s path to optimize entrance load-carrying choices.
That fork additionally sports activities fender and entrance gentle mounting.
