Waheela S is optimized for improved stability and confidence on rough terrain.
INSPIRED GEOMETRY
Rider Position
The rider is centered over the wheels, which places less weight on front wheel compared to most other gravel bikes.
Stack & Reach
Progressive stack and reach design allows us to cover a full range of rider sizes with only four different frame sizes.
Head & Seat Tube Angles
Consistent head and seat tube angles across all frame sizes provides the same great experience for riders of all sizes.
Waheela is not a drop bar mountain bike. It’s a gravel-grinding beast that can clear 29x2.1 tires.
REYNOLDS STEEL
Waheela S uses Reynolds 520 steel to produce a strong, light bike with a supple yet lively ride quality. The tubes also feature an electro-deposited (ED) coating inside and out for rust protection.
TIRE CLEARANCE
700c? Check! 650b? Double check! 29er? Triple check! Waheela has massive tire clearance.
TUNING CHIP™
The patent pending Tuning Chip™ system provides 20mm of chainstay length and 4mm of bottom bracket height adjustment, allowing you to fine tune your ride.
