The Beyond 2 checks all the criteria for off-road bikes, and the Bombtrack long-distance tourer is getting even better, thanks to customer input.
Known for its upright stance, wide flared drops, and several mounting choices for your gear, this model has been popular among those looking to see the world on two wheels for the first time.
The inclusion of a Supernova dynamo lighting system and a demi-porter front rack to carry the load up front without affecting the handling is new this year.
We think this is your best bet on two wheels if you're planning a long journey like the Tour Aotearoa, where you'll need a bike that can handle tricky riding and take a hammering.
