Arctic Shadow
The Loca carbon gravel bike is the lightest and most aggressive gravel in our range in terms of position. This frame will be perfect for those looking for a bike for fast riding in rough, demanding terrain.
Remember! At Loca Bikes, our bikes are always made to order. If you would like to change the paintwork or have any special requests concerning the configuration, let us know!
- The frame is made of full toray carbon fiber, the construction is light and incredibly stiff. At the same time we took care of the appropriate durability. You can ride our carbon gravel bike on demanding forest trails with no fear.
- Balanced geometry and very large tire clearance allow you to comfortably ride long distances over rough terrain
- Clearance up to a max of 700x50c tires
- Thru axles (100x12 mm, front 142x12 mm rear)
- Full carbon fork and tapered headtube
- Possibility to mount full-length fenders, three bottle cages on
a frame, two on a fork and a direct mount top tube bag - On request, we can fit tubeless tires

Geometry
The geometry of our carbon frames allows you to fit tyres as wide as 50 mm. In combination with a reasonably high head tube, a large wheel base and a large reach, this lets you ride fast down difficult, technical gravel descents. The bike will also work well on expeditions, for those used to a more agressive position.
