Description

The Tripster AT boasts cutting-edge adventure bike features and versatility, allowing it to be built to excel across a variety of uses. Commute on it, ride bridleways and gravel with it, go bike packing on it, ride across continents on it. The new Tripster AT will take all of this in its stride and more.   With through axles front and rear, clearance for 45mm tyres and with multiple bottle cage mounting, rack and mudguard mounts, this bike can be a two-wheeled Swiss Army Knife!    The Tripster AT is proudly equipped with the Columbus Futura Cross Plus fork. Columbus has been making headway into the premium carbon fork market and the Futura Cross Plus fork is the perfect partner to the Tripster AT. The Columbus Futura Plus fork is fitted with a ‘flip-chip’ to allow adjustment of the rake of the fork between 47mm and 52mm. Where you place the chip will depend on how you like your Tripster to handle. As a starting point, we recommend that if you have a smaller frame and/or are loaded for bike packing, then you will benefit from a longer wheelbase, so simply place the chip in the 52mm position.   The Tripster AT is such a capable and versatile bike that it might well be the one you ride the most of all.   Custom Built By Merlin At Merlin Cycles, custom-built bikes aren’t just a product they’re a passion.
