The Ruut range was born from the need to have a REALLY versatile bike. One that would be comfortable enough for backpacking and long distance riding, but at the same time would retain a clearly sporty character. At Rondo we are all competitive guys - we ride fast, we race - but we don't need a bike for the CX World's. What we want from a drop bar bike is to be able to go long, and go fast, especially on rough roads. So, after over two years of development, we came up with a tool that we believe is the ultimate solution for real-world riders.
The RUUT AL1 is the most versatile bike in our collection. It’s a hardcore commuter, training partner, adventure seeker, and cyclocross racer all in one. With new classy colours Raw / Grey, the RUUT AL1 features a light yet wrecking ball-tough frame, a Selle Italia Model X saddle for comfort over rough surfaces, a bomb-proof drivetrain, and all the fender, rack, and cargo mounts a rider needs. This bike has a TwinTip 2.0 fork made with FLY technology. A lighter, horizontally stiffer, and more compliant edition of our trademark fork. Internal cable routing gives a clean appearance. Versatile and reliable 700 X 40 Vittoria Terrend Dry tyres offer superior grip on varied terrain. This bike is the perfect companion for spontaneous tarmac to trail exploration.
