Adroit Substrate C5

Classic steel.

Lightweight, responsive, fun, and playful: the Adroit Substrate is exactly what you would expect from an aggressive hardtail. With longer reach, short chainstays, and integrated dropper post routing, the Substrate is worthy of both your daily ride and most epic trail adventures.

Large volume 27.5+ tires roll fast and grip anything. Choose between Carpenter Custom 465 Stainless on the Substrate C7 or Air-Hardening Steel on the Substrate C5 and C3.
