Sonder - a new bike brand from British outdoors experts Alpkit

By Kenny Stocker>

Sticking with the 650B+ platform, the Sonder Broken Road will allow you to mix it up with 29er wheelsets and even full-fat front tyres for some added squish. Intended as a fully rigid build which makes the most of the flex and compliance of the titanium frameset and extra rubber to smooth out the trail, weight is kept to a minimum.
