Nice bike.
Buy one! Hakkas are fantastic. I use it for road, gravel, some singletrack, and even triathlons. Good for a bit of everything!

Hey buddy. Love it! Just did a brutal 85-mile race on it this past Sunday. Super stable off-road and holds speed well on. Where the bike shines is off-road. It's a beast! With the progressive geo, short 90mm stem it just rips up everything. Zero mechanicals in that race, ran 42mm Tracer Pro tires, and had 3" of rain the night before. Flawless. I ran it in the "long-medium" flip chip position. I have now flipped the fork to the shorter position to see how it responds. Very fun bike and very versatile with all the mounts.

Is gravel not the vaguest/broadest category in all of cycling?
