Mongoose Selous Comp Gravel Bike Bikes & Frames Cyclocross Bikes

Mongoose Selous Comp Gravel Bike. If you're looking at one bike to excel in a variety of road and off road endeavors, then the Mongoose Selous Comp is the answer. Gravel grinding, cyclocross, as well as commuting are all realms that the Selous Comp is completely at home. The Selous Comp features Mongoose Gravel Grinder double butted aluminum tubing for both strength and light weight while the carbon fiber fork ensures a stellar ride quality no matter the terrain. Mongoose wisely equipped the frameset to clear 40c width tires plus routed all the cables along the top tube to keep them out of the way of mud and grime. The 2x10 speed drivetrain features Shimano Tiagra and Sora components for the epitome of dependability and reliability while the FSA Omega crankset features 5034T chainrings for a broad range of gearing to handle the diverse terrain that is the Selous Comp's stomping grounds. Confident braking in even the nastiest of conditions is assured courtesy of the Tektro HY RD disc brakes. The HY RD disc brakes are a clever hybrid that utilizes a cable to operate a hydraulic disc brake thus making it a simple endeavor to mate these brakes to traditional STI shift systems and take advantage of hydraulic's impressive brake modulation. The wheels feature Alex DP 23 tubeless ready rims that are laced to VP aluminum hubs. A pair of 700x40c WTB Nano tires are voluminous, speedy, plus feature a folding bead to reduce rotating mass.
