Merlin Malt G1 Tiagra Gravel Bike 2020

Following hot on the heels of our popular Malt-G the new, improved G1 features a number of updates to the frame and componentry to make this versatile gravel bike even more fun to ride, and all at an amazingly affordable price! The Merlin Malt-G1 can handle a wide variety of terrain including gravel tracks and green lanes allowing you to combine sections of road with more challenging segments meaning more of your adventures can start at your front door.

The Malt-G1 has a full complement of mounts the bike is ready to sport mudguards and even a rear pannier - so if you want to head off on a touring adventure or simply commute to work you can, no problem.

The Merlin Malt-G1 Gravel bike features a new double-butted 6061 Aluminium frame with thru-axles front and rear to ensure that wheels are kept securely in place, disc brakes are always perfectly aligned and steering precision is further enhanced thanks to the wheel hub and fork essentially becoming one unit. The Malt-G1 frame includes flat-mounts for disc brakes and internal cable routing for brake and gear cables giving a cleaner, less cluttered look to the bike as well as enhanced protection from grit and grime meaning your bike will run smoother for longer. With a comfortable, confident geometry that encourages all-day riding the Malt-G1 features a carbon thru-axle fork that stops the ride feeling too harsh when you're on the ruff-stuff and quality cable-activated disc brakes that deliver consistent, controllable braking in all weathers and riding conditions.

As with our previous generation Malt-G gravel bike we've specced the G1 with a Shimano Tiagra 10-speed groupset; this dependable, precise shifting groupset with low-ratio gearing means you can take on any terrain with relative ease and be able to conquer the steepest hills. The Malt-G1 comes fitted with tough Mavic XM 119 wheels featuring 6-Bolt thru-axle disc hubs and fast rolling, gravel-friendly Kenda Kwick 35mm tyres which provide great traction while giving plenty of mud clearance between tyre, frame & fork.
