RONDO RUUT AL GEN 3: THE EVOLUTION OF THE ULTIMATE ALL-ROUNDER

A gravel bike that feels great on any terrain. A gravel bike that is always one pedal stroke ahead of its time. And a gravel bike that catches everyone's eye and boasts an unparalleled aesthetic. Since the RONDO RUUT AL hit the market in 2017, it has been the epitome of the perfect off-road racing bike. Now, the Polish specialists for gravel and (off-)road bikes have introduced the latest version of their classic. The result is the ultimate all-rounder for gravel adventures of all kinds - the RONDO RUUT AL GEN 3.

A pioneer that has made history: Since the RONDO RUUT AL appeared on the scene in 2017, it has become a true legend in the world of gravel bikes. A gravel bike that embodies aesthetics, innovation, and unbridled power in one. With the right mix of daring attitude and a spirit of discovery, it fearlessly conquers all types of gravel roads - whether classic paths or the bumpy boundaries of extensive bikepacking tours. 

The third edition of the RUUT AL not only lives up to this reputation but even expands it further. Because the new RUUT AL is not just a modest update, but a completely new concept carefully tuned to the diversity of the rapidly evolving gravel bike scene. The result? The RONDO RUUT AL V3 is the perfect all-rounder for any type of gravel adventure.

A distinctive frame design with many innovations

The amount of brainpower RONDO invested in the new RUUT AL is evident in the frame design: It comes from the pen of Jurek Dąbrowski. His Vision: The new aluminum frame should not simply connect tubes stably, but transform into a cohesive, highly functional masterpiece for ultimate riding pleasure. The result is a gravel bike that stands out from the crowd with numerous special features - starting with the seamless integration of the seat tube and bottom bracket to the generous tire clearance.

And that's not all! In terms of aesthetics, the new RUUT AL raises the bar even higher. RONDO has taken the integration of cable routing a step further, giving the bike a flawlessly sleek appearance. Convincing elements like the TwinTip system in a revised fork and the integrated toolbox guarantee unparalleled performance on any terrain.

The new RONDO RUUT AL is characterized by these bold features:

Bottom Bracket: The revised bottom bracket is a one-piece Gravity Cast bottom bracket with CS-Yoke. This creates space for thicker tires (622-47 and 584-50), but it is also a playground for a larger chainring. The complex design pairs well with a small toolbox.

Toolbox: The toolbox is located at the bottom of the frame and contains a special mini-tool, a chain riveter, and space for chain links. Really practical: The tools can be pulled out with one hand by simply opening a rubber flap and pulling them out with a finger. The mini toolbox can be easily unscrewed, allowing easy access to the bottom bracket area, making cable routing a breeze.

Integrated Cable Routing: Another attention-grabbing feature is the bike's integrated cable routing. The cables run purposefully through the headset bearings and the exclusive channels under the bottom bracket, providing a Look that is as convincing as the performance. The cables for the mechanical seat post can also be routed internally.

Integrated Frame Design: The seat tube and bottom bracket are harmoniously fused together, with the sleek, flattened contours improving the frame's compliance.

TwinTip Fork: The TwinTip system on the revised fork allows for changes to the fork offset and head tube angle - for a more personalized riding position.

Maximum Customization: The TwinTip fork is just one of many options for customizing the bike. Single or double chainring, with or without fenders – thanks to the new frame, the bike can be better tailored to individual needs than ever before.
