Introducing the Boardman ADV 9.2, a high-performance adventure bike designed for anyone who craves exploration the great outdoors without fear.

Whether you're an experienced adventurer or just starting to explore the world of gravel riding, the Boardman ADV 9.2 offers an unbeatable combination of performance, comfort, and value.

The Boardman ADV 9.2: Lightweight Carbon Frame for Effortless Riding

At the heart of the Boardman ADV 9.2 is its all-new C10 Carbon frame, weighing in at a mere 990g. This lightweight construction not only makes the bike incredibly responsive and agile but also helps to reduce rider fatigue on longer adventures. The frame's geometry has been carefully designed to inspire confidence and stability on rough roads and trails, with slack head angles and a low bottom bracket drop. Short stems across the size range provide agile and responsive steering, while long top tubes still allow for an efficient riding position during fast-paced rides.

The frame also features a contoured seat tube and bow-curved seat stays, which work together to absorb impacts and reduce fatiguing vibrations, ensuring a more comfortable ride even on rough surfaces. With clearance for up to 42mm 700c tyres, hidden mudguard mounts, and multiple mounting points for bottles and accessories, the ADV 9.2 is ready to adapt to your unique riding style and requirements.

SRAM Apex AXS Groupset: Wireless Shifting for Seamless Gear Changes

The Boardman ADV 9.2 is equipped with SRAM's Apex XPLR AXS groupset, a gravel-specific electronic drivetrain that offers impressive performance at an affordable price point. With wireless shifts across the 12-speed, 10-44t cassette, you'll have a wide gear range to hammer steep off-road climbs and maintain speed on fast road descents. The 1X system simplifies shifting, allowing you to change gears with a simple press of the left shift paddle for an easier gear or the right paddle for a harder gear. This intuitive system becomes second nature within minutes of your first ride, allowing you to focus on the adventure ahead. Think of it like rally car shifting, but for bikes rather than cars.

Panaracer GravelKing SK Tyres: Versatile Traction for Mixed Terrain

Tyre choice is crucial for mixed-terrain riding, and the Boardman ADV 9.2 strikes the perfect balance with Panaracer's 38mm GravelKing SK tyres. The closely packed centre tread ensures fast rolling on smoother surfaces, while the widely spaced edge knobs provide ample grip for cornering on loose or muddy terrain. The supple, 120tpi tubeless-ready casing enhances both grip and comfort, allowing you to tackle a variety of surfaces with confidence.

Custom-Built Boardman ADV Wheelset: Strength and Reliability

The ADV 9.2 features a custom-built Boardman ADV wheelset, with through-axle hubs laced to 21mm internal width alloy rims using 28 Sapim Race spokes. This robust construction ensures excellent strength and reliability, even under the demands of rough off-road riding. The wheels come taped for tubeless setup, and with valves supplied, you can easily enjoy the benefits of running lower tyre pressures for improved traction and comfort.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Confident Stopping Power in All Conditions

To ensure confident and controlled braking performance in all weather conditions, the Boardman ADV 9.2 is equipped with SRAM Apex hydraulic disc brakes. These powerful brakes provide reliable stopping power, allowing you to navigate technical descents and unexpected obstacles with ease. Whether you're riding in wet or dry conditions, you can trust in the ADV 9.2's braking performance to keep you safe and in control.
