Bombtrack Hook EXT SX Eagle

The Hook EXT is designed for rougher terrain than a standard gravel bike. With its 27.5-inch wheels and 2.0-inch wide tires, it handles singletrack and rocky trails with significantly more stability and comfort than a traditional 700c gravel setup.

The Columbus Cromor steel frame offers a naturally compliant, vibration-damping ride quality that excels on long, multi-day trips. While it is heavier than carbon, the durability and comfort it provides over rough surfaces make it a preferred choice for backcountry bikepacking.

Yes, the frame is specifically engineered for this. It features internal routing for dynamo cables, which keeps your setup clean and protected from the elements during long-distance or overnight adventures.

Absolutely. The wide-range 12-speed gearing is borrowed from mountain biking, giving you a very low gear ratio that makes climbing steep, loaded-down ascents much easier than with a standard road-based gravel drivetrain.

Beyond its vibration-damping carbon construction, the fork includes triple cage mounts on each side. This allows you to securely attach extra water bottles, cargo cages, or gear bags, which is essential for self-supported trips.

The SRAM Level hydraulic disc brakes provide consistent, powerful stopping performance regardless of the weather or how much weight you are carrying. They offer excellent modulation, which is critical for maintaining control on steep, loose descents.
