Bikepacking

The Dualist is a jack of all trades. With flip chip axles front and rear, boost spacing and UDH compatibility, it can be set up to suit your local terrain and riding style, or even whatever parts you have laying around. A rigid mountain bike, an all terrain bike, flat-bar gravel or a trusty commuter, there is something in it for everyone.

When you’re riding the Dualist, it feels like a modern cross-country/trail bike—stable, confident, and fun. The stack, reach, bar width, and seat tube angle are designed to mimic a mountain bike’s riding position. The head tube angle and fork offset provide similar MTB steering and handling characteristics, though the bike feels lighter and more responsive due to the carbon fork and lighter tyres.

The frame is made from butted 6061 aluminum tubes. The bottom bracket shell is forged in two pieces, and welded down the middle, this allows for internal cable routing through the bottom bracket and chainstays. The fork is made from a combination of unidirectional and 3k weave carbon fiber and has a carbon steerer.

The Dualist is just as comfortable on a pump track as it is exploring new dirt roads.

Whether you dream of local overnighters or round-the-world epics, Fargo GRX 610 can help bring it to life. Its triple-butted steel frame and Cutthroat Carbon Deluxe fork create a comfortable-yet-durable ride that’s engineered for loaded touring on mixed terrain.

- Adjustable Alternator 1.0 Flat Mount dropouts let you tinker with wheelbase and ride feel.
- Cargo mounts galore give you the freedom to roam farther between resupplies.
- Shimano’s GRX 610 1 x 12 drivetrain is a smooth-shifting system with more enough gear range for climbing the Cordillera Blanca or capitalizing on tailwinds in Croatia.

Fargo’s ride quality and adaptability make it a smart choice for a steel bikepacking bike.
