With clearance for 700c x 50mm (27.5 x 2.1″) tires and a long and slack geometry, the all-new FUSTLE Causeway blurs the definition of gravel bike, a trend we’ve seen from a few other brands recently. Find all the specs and a launch video here…

Hailing from the UK, FUSTLE is an all-new, small, rider owned bike brand created by Alastair Beckett, the man behind the Nukeproof Digger, Forbidden Bike Company, and Privateer Bikes. The brand’s MTB-inspired, flagship Causeway GR1 features an aluminum frame, carbon fork, and clearance for 700 x 50mm (27.5 x 2.1”) tires. Find the launch video, full specs, and photos below…

Fustle Causeway GR1 Gravel Bike

Following trends we’ve seen recently in bikes such as the Evil Chamois Hagar and the Knolly Cache, the FUSTLE Causeway GR1 is a drop bar bike with a mountain bike pedigree that features a long reach, a slack (for gravel) 69° head tube angle, and relatively short 430mm chainstays. According to Alaistair, when developing the brand, “It quickly became clear that what was out there tended to be more influenced by the road market than the off road market, which led me to start piecing together what today we call The Causeway GR1.”
