Introducing the Cale AL
An aluminium sibling for our most trail-capable bike. A few tweaks and a new lightweight aluminium frame see the latest Cale AL ready to take on any track. With raucous off-road ability and a Sherpa-like carrying capacity, it’s ready for expeditions in the high mountains. Equally at home smashing around your local trail centre, it comes with fast-rolling 29-inch wheels, but will also work with oversize 27.5+ tyres. Equipped with a dropper post and tough suspension fork, it’s mountain-ready out of the box.
