"To better serve the needs of the evolving gravel cyclist, the Shafer has adapted. From high-speed champagne gravel to the backcountry bikepacking epics, the all-new Shafer 3.0 is ready to help riders capture a PR or bag the route they've been dreaming of."
"The new Shafer 3.0 frame has a silhouette that looks nearly identical to the previous version. It comes in carbon fiber only, and Ari tells us that they achieved significant weight savings by refining the tube shapes and junctions without decreasing strength. In fact, they say the new frame is over 200 grams lighter, with the size medium coming in at 928 grams. The carbon fork adds another 491 grams to the total frame weight."
"Ari has somehow managed to lighten up the frame while simultaneously adding significant tire clearance. The Shafer 3.0 frame and fork can clear massive tires up to 700 x 58c or 29" x 2.25" on all frame sizes. The brand also mentions that they have made additional space above the tire tread for mud clearance. All of the complete bikes come with rims with at least a 25 mm inner rim width and either 50 mm or 55mm wide tires in their stock configurations."
The Shafer 3.0 is the third-generation carbon gravel frame refined for lower weight and increased versatility. The size medium frame weighs 928 grams and the carbon fork weighs 491 grams, representing over 200 grams of savings. The frame and fork clear up to 700 x 58c or 29" x 2.25" tires on every size and include extra mud clearance above the tread. Complete bikes ship with rims of at least 25 mm inner width and 50 mm or 55 mm tires. The design adds an in-frame storage compartment and updates geometry to provide a more balanced ride across the size range.
