Saracen took their MTB DNA and moulded into a gravel bike... Using longer top tubes and shorter stems allows for a roomier cockpit, more centralised rider position on the bike and more direct steering input. 650b wheels come as standard but the frame can accommodate 700c wheels as well if you wish to change, with a recommended maximum tyre size of 50mm in 650b and 44mm in 700c respectfully. The Levarg SL comes with SRAM Apex 1x11 speed drivetrain and cable actuated hydraulic disc brakes in the shape of TRP HY/RD paired with 160mm rotors. WTB’s most dirt-focused tyre in the form of the ByWay (47C) allows riders to find comfort on remote gravel roads without feeling draggy on the paved roads!
