Open WI.DE. Custom Gravel Bike

MONSTER TIRES, NIMBLE RIDE

The OPEN U.P. inspired a generation of gravel bikes that could fit up to 2.1” tires. The WI.DE. (Winding Detours) can run even bigger tires while still fitting road cranks!

The monster tires help you conquer the most extreme terrain, the performance geometry & narrow Q-factor keep you efficient while the steering geometry keeps you nimble.

WHAT IS THE WI.DE.?

• With 650b gravel or mountain bike tires up to 2.4”(61mm), rutted singletrack, slippery roots and loose rocks are no match
• With 700c gravel tires up to 46mm, even the toughest gravel roads are tackled at lightning speed
• With 700c road tires (we recommend 35-40mm wide), you have the most comfortable road bike ever invented

DOUBLE-DROP CHAINSTAY

The U.P.’s dropped chainstay has become our most copied frame feature ever. No wonder, as it is a great way to create more tire clearance.

The WI.DE. goes one better. By dropping both chainstays, the monostay just behind the bottom bracket becomes a very efficient box structure. This increases BB stiffness, reduces weight and squeezes even more tire clearance out of the frame.

SPEED & HANDLING

Most riders know that with the right bike geometry, even big tires can be fast. The WI.DE. takes this to the extreme. Of course a massive tire is not as fast as a pure road tire, but the delta is small enough that it doesn’t detract from the on-road fun. And off-road, there is no comparison.

Equally important is the handling as we have a reputation to protect (check out the media reviews about the U.P. handling).

The WI.DE. retains its agility with anything from massive mountain tires to road tires.
