- All specs on the Priority 600ADX here: www.prioritybicycles.com/600adx
I co-designed the low maintenance (Pinion and Gates) 600x in 2020 and THIS is the new iteration of that bike! The big changes are the geometry (the ADX will fit a broader range of riders), the suspension fork (Marzocchi Z2 Bomber), and a handful of other thangs (stronger kickstand!) that make this bike ready to GET OUT THERE!

We're really proud of this bike and hope that it allows even more people to GET OUT THERE!! **The 600ADX-Sparkly Edition**
I'm about 2.5 years from retirement. That's when I plan on taking up some adventure biking. I'll definitely be purchasing one of these adventure bikes at that time. I live in Las Cruces, NM so I'm looking forward to you posting a video about your trip through the state.
😮
@@bigoledaddyz NICE! I really enjoy Las Cruces
Glad to see that Priority increased the wight limit. I'm 6'-2" and weigh 250.
For those of you who may think this bike is expensive, when I compare the retail price ADX to what I spent building my GRX 12 speed adventure bike, the Priority is actually less expensive.
Thanks for chiming in, this is quite a good price…and by far the most affordable Pinion MTB on the market.
Bought the 600x during the pre-order period - waited about 7 months for delivery - and it's still my dream bike! Thanks Ryan and Priority for the great work!
Yay!! I’m so glad to hear that! I wish you many happy adventures on that bike
Same here. Have had for going on 4 years. Awesome bike!
As someone who is 5'5 and really wanted the 600X, my one concern was the sizing. With this being fixed, this is my new dream bike. I AM SO EXCITED!
Yay!!! We’re so happy that it’ll fit more riders!!!
I placed my order for the 600X about a month ago (perfect timing :) and am sooooooo excited to be getting the upgraded ADX!!!! Love all the changes and the things you kept the same!! I'll be riding it on a few overnight bikepacking trips to get used to it and then doing the Cohutta Cat in Georgia in October. If you don't have anything better to do, come on over!!! Thanks so much for all you do!!
Yay!!!! I’m so happy for you!! I’ll see if I can make that happen. Cheers!
First, congrats on the new ADX! So now my "sad" time I purchased the 600X mid-March and it is a wonderful bike👍I have just 18 miles on it as I came down with Lymes disease right after 😢 but now I am like OMG as almost everything that Priority and you have upgraded and turned into the ADX are things I told my wife I was having issues with. Some Geometry even with my 34" inseam I better not make one false move or hard stop...If you know what I mean!? Switching out from internal cable routing is great, and would love the more stiffness in frame, kickstand not bolted through frame, and YES even those bolts wanting a lower profile on those. Well I either have to find a time machine OR find a way to break it to my wife that I need to "upgrade" (after only 18 miles) to the ADX....both about equal hardness 🤔 Keep doing your great work Ryan!!
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that you got Lyme's disease, I hope it hasn't been too hard to manage. Your 600x will always be an awesome bike and will take you on many amazing adventures
Awesome, can't wait to follow along as you tackle the GDMBR!
I can’t wait!
Didn’t start regretting my 600x purchase until you mentioned MORE sparkles. Unridable. (Love the bike, keep up the good work!)
Hahaha!! I’ll send you a packet of sparkles to jazz up your bike ;)
Wow. Very impressive. I love that you called it an adventure machine. Very nice. Thanks for sharing this with us. Can't wait to see you run it through its paces.
Thanks for developing this bike. There are many bikes out there (in the market), but your adventure bike is a sensible and worthy addition.
I appreciate that! We feel like we’re offering something quite different than mainstream bikes.
Bravo Ryan. Awesome bike & presentation. Can't wait to get mine!
Thanks! I had fun with this one
Excellent work!!! So many improvements! 👏 👏 👏
Very nice upgrades for comfort and weight considerations. I keep going back and forth between the 600X and the Esker Hayduke. I'm doing a 5 day bikepaking trip with a friend in a week and he has a rig with the Gates & Pinion system. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all performs in the dirt and dust of NM. Thanks Ryan & Eddie.
Enjoy NM!!! I love that state
AWESOME bike, Ryan. Thanks for this video. LOVE the Broncos hoodie!
Go broncos!
Beautiful! I'm going to order one, was going to pull the trigger on an X and just in time the upgrade comes in!
Yay!! You’ll be one of the first to rock this new bike!! Happy trails
Im excited to see it in person!
Ryan, Awesome overview of 600 ADX. Great job Team Priority! I’m saving up for it. Mechanical shifting is what I want. More sparkles is what makes me smile. Cheers!
So excited!! I am heading to NY this summer and will definitely be stopping by Priority. The 600x has been on my bucket list of bikes but Now the 600ADX
Have fun in NYC!! You’ll love meeting the team
OK!!!! FINE!!!! I’ll buy one!!!!! STOP TWISTING MY ARM!!!! 😂. Came in Friday…. Still building it up but have ridden it all the way around the block…. Yep… full 3 miles on her so far. Love it. Thanks Ryan. Putting it together for a Florida Divide Ride….
Love your content by the way…
So, you said something at the end about getting out there and challenging yourself. Partly inspired by watching your videos, I did the 100k Assault on the Carolinas over in Brevard, NC, at the beginning of April. It's a charity road ride benefiting the Rotary Club of Pisgah Forest. I had never ridden that far before, but that was only part of the challenge. The route included a six mile climb up Caesar's Head Highway that had a 2000 foot elevation change from the bottom to the top. I didn't get crazy and try to blow myself up, I took it at a comfortable pace and made it all the way to the top without stopping.
That’s awesome!! I love what Rotary clubs do for the world (I was a Rotary exchange student). Congrats on your big ride!!
Sounds like a wonderful bike ride
I thought Priority 600x couldn't get any better but it did and well done can’t wait to see touch and ride it in person on the next adventure.
Love the bike. Envious! Your shows, during the tail end of Covid restrictions, have been a great motivation for me to ride bikes again! Here are some novice's questions.
1. With your bikes, how did you arrive at the best handlebar angles for riding?
2. Would you fit Ergon GP5 grips and bar extensions?
3. Have you trialled other handlebars?
4. For power supply, would a designer ever consider having the rear axel with a generator instead of the front wheel, together with a centre kick stand strong enough to support your weight for stationary bicycling? Or maybe a disengagement gear in or around the hub?(Maybe all too far out and adding weight).
5. You talk about weight, when does the increased strength start to impact on the weight of an aluminium frame?
6. How does this compare to a modern steel frame's strength to weight ratio?
Thank you for your attention. M.
Very nice adventure bike, Ryan. I love it.
Thanks! Can’t wait to ride it one the divide
I wish I was into bikepacking and mountain biking and needed this bike 😛 My Apollo is doing great!
The Apollo is a sweet bike!! Love mine too
Can’t wait to get home and watch this video!!!!!
It’s not as good as Hot Shots Part Deux, but pretty close 😂😂
Great changes and upgrades! Was the kickstand moved aft and in a bit to avoid heel strikes, by chance?
It sure was!! Darn it, forgot to mention that ;)
@@duzerthat's great news! Love what y'all have done here with the ADX. Just might need to snag one 😎
Ah! That’s the one thing I can’t fix on my 600x! (Without removing it)
Why the added gussets, stiffness? Isn’t the aluminum bike already stiff enough? Is there ever any consideration of making a steel version?😬🤔
for a similar steel bike check out the tout terrain outback, it is more expensive tough and not sure how easy it is to get hold of one in the states (german brand)
Great product improvement!
You’ve inspired me to get off the couch and get out there. Im looking forward to not having a derailleur, or chain to repair. Low maintenance, work horse with sparkles sold me! My 600ADX arrives in a few days.
Right on!! You’re gonna love it.
Hey Ryan, I just want to say that you inspired me to do my first bikecamping trip this past weekend. Certainly not the massive escapades you've been on, but I biked from Halifax (Nova Scotia) to Graves Island campground. So, about 80 km one way. I biked there, camped overnight, and biked back. I'm hurting, but it was tons of fun. I filmed the whole thing on my GoPro. Now I just need to figure out what to do with said footage.
(Heh, I also encountered an underpass and did a hearty "Ole ole!" in your honor.)
Great improvements Ryan well done. Really great to see a KSA 40 Standard kickstand mount +++ love the gussets for stiffness too; what a +. It's a great bike. Would love to see a bike exactly like it but with a Rigid Fork and provistion for super heavy duty Touring Front and Rear Racks for 4 full size panniers and 1 top bag on front and 1 top bag on the rear. A front rack that can take 2 panniers and a bag on a top platform woud be the absolute best.
Simple enough to swap out the fork for one that can handle whatever you want.
Great presentation of this low maintenance / adventure bike ! Good to see poeple thinking of making a bike simple (cable routing) and pleasant to ride ! 👍
That's one awesome bike right there!
I think so too!
I love the mechanical shifting .It is so so easy to use and no maintenance. It does at a little time to retrain your mind from the conventional way others bike shift.Its so easy to use.
Niiice!! Sure like the new hub and the gussets! Any chance to buy the hub and retro fit it on my 600x?
My comment about not having smart shifters was not cool so have deleted. Love your channel!
I want to Love these bikes and pull the trigger on buying one, but I can't get over the weight. 34 lbs is too heavy! Add another 20 for bikepacking gear and you're up to 55 lbs or so seems to heavy...Am I missing something? I remain torn with something like a Specialized Epic hardtail which is 10 lbs lighter vs a priority bike. Help!
Well, the fact is that with these types of bikes (trekking bikes!) the weight doesn't really matter (Your Specialized hardtail Epic is a hardtail carbon racing MTB monster, you can't compare these two bikes in any way, no one in their right mind would ever choose the Specialized Epic carbon hadtail for some serious long distance bikepacking, not to mention the bike trekking adventure, the bike just isn't meant for it!) One of the best trekking bikes that has won all European and world awards in the last +30 years (Koga WT-S/rohloff) weighs more than 20 kg (+44 pounds!) and can easily carry 180 kg (396 pounds!!!) Of course, this bike isn't for everyone, but if you're in some God forsaken place somewhere in Pathagonia, Siberia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia... where your life depends off of your bike, you'd rather have a serious and a sturdier bike with some extra weight than something that could let you down! Still, there are handmade titanium trekking bicycles with the Pinion that cost +3X as much, but that's another topic. Anyway, $3500 for the "MTB"/ trekking(!) bike with Pinion is a bargain if you plan to ride and camp within ± 2000 miles of your home or ride safely in the US or anywhere in the world within reach of inhabited world! (btw, the Pinion C 1.12 gearbox alone costs about $1500!!!)I don't know how my English comes across, but what I'm saying is that most bikes these days are purpose built so that the user can have the best experience. Every bike is a good bike but eventually it would show it's weekness if used for the wrong purpose.
I know it is really the Awesome Dana X! And I like your orange Dana sweatshirt! Great bike! Good job Ryan and team priority!
This bike is totally named after YOU!!! Your juju and added sparkles give this bike magical powers.
Considered the 600x and then realized the Eight is coming back and that's more my style right now. Ships at the end of June and I cannot wait to get some miles and alone time on that beautiful machine. Love this bike too.
The Eight is awesome!! You’re gonna love it
Great bike !
Thanks!
Trailrunner by day; mountainbiker / bikepacker by dream. I have the Priority 600 [switched to Terravail gravel style tires] and recently did my first gravel event for 22 miles. I know it's not much but for me... it was!
Like everyone else says man - you sir are part of the reason I was compelled to sign up and actually get after it. Maybe I'll save up enough for one of the newer Priority Bikes but the 600 has been an absolute beaut for me.
If ya need support for GDMBR - shout out.
Way to go!! I bet that felt good. Those Terravails are sweet. I love my 600 too!! Happy trails
Hahaha the kickstand debate is endless, my brother thinks they are nerdy but at Ragbrai guess who leaned his bike up against mine every town we stopped at...lol
Haha!! You win ;)
I am so glad you didn't do electric shifting.
💥Whoaaa 😲....Dude, what a kickass Bike 😍👍
Thanks, we're excited about it
Besst of luck to you.lycka till.verkar vara en fantastisk cykel!
Tack så jättemycket
I'll need to try one before I buy one. I'll check with our local bike shop to see if they'll be getting any in stock.
Cool how they've implemented so much rider feedback!
Thanks! Rider feedback is very important when implementing changes.
Nice bike. I really liked the blue used in the videos. Is the 600ADX a replacement for the 600X?
Yes, it is!
Please add a version with mechanical disc brakes and S&S couplers, would be ultimate travel machine
Nice job on the bike looks great and very well built! Where is the extra gates belt storage compartment? Kidding!
hahaha. I always have one on hand, but I like the idea of a secret storage container ;)
I currently love my trek 520. Switches to straight bars from the drops and went with trigger shifts. I’ve always wanted to try a belt drive. Perhaps one day. Love your videos Ryan. Been with ya since your cross country trek with Ally.
The 520 is such a sweet bike!! And thanks for being with me since Love Cycles
@@duzer I watched em all individually before ya made the “movie”. I’d love to do that ride.
Hey friend. The weight limit is for people and gear. This is a super important distinction.
Yep, my bad for not making that clear
@duzer is all good. I wish they would do it. I'm a ti frame as well, so folks like me don't have to go ultralight every trip. And also, regardless, congrats it is great. Side bar I got to go to Denver as an adult finally and it qas very nice.
I really liked the blue frame, maybe with extra sparkles
Maybe someday! I like the blue, too
Really awsome bike! My bike packing is going to take me the direction of light gravel and rail trails, so I ordered the Gemini. But I definitely kicked this one around.
My 1992 Franken bike Raleigh M50 I got for Christmas that same year is now pulling gravel duty, so I can give my first mountain bike a rest for a while.😎
You’re gonna love that bike!
How can you demo the bike before buying one, and can I get one in blue?
Im happy about the XL!
Glad to hear it!
6:16 Marzocchi indicate a 125hr service interval for a full service on the Bomber Z2 fork. At 7-10 hours of bikepacking per day, that’s only 12-17 days! 😮 That doesn’t sound very low maintenance to me. Did you guys get different info from Marzocchi? What am I missing?
Good question! A 125 hour service interval is on the long side for a suspension fork, and while it's not "no-maintenance," it's much longer than most suspension forks (most have 50 hour service intervals). With the open bath damper design, if you happen to go over the service interval there is less risk to damaging the fork compared to other, more delicate designs. Also, with Fox's massive dealer network, you're never too far from a shop that can service the fork.
You had me at sparkles!
😂😂✨✨
I like to tour in a Classic Bike Touring 4 - 6 panniers way.... Can we expect a classic with modern featured bike?
For Eg Co Motion bikes....
This bike is amazing! I’ve been a dedicated Single Speed Mountain biker for many years. I increased my fleet to include geared hardtail’s and gravel bikes. The superior design of a wider flanged SS specific hub and structural stronger rear wheel is extremely noticeable. Especially when you consider the wider tires and increased load of a bike packed hardtail.
As for purchasing a new bike, I would like to know if you can recommend a way to donate some of my old bikes and parts to people who really need them? Perhaps people in foreign countries that depend heavily on having bicycles for transportation but are not able to afford them? Just a thought. I’ve donated to Goodwill and another place in Los Angeles called The Bike Kitchen but honestly I think American’s don’t need them and they would be more valuable to other countries.
Sell your bicycles to fellow Americans!
I love that you wanna giveaway your bikes to people in need! I don’t know of an international org that takes used bikes overseas, but I can assure you that there’s plenty of folks here that would benefit from a bike. Try googling to see if there’s somewhere to donate that makes you feel good. Cheers!
@@duzer I’ve sent a few bikes to the Philippines 🇵🇭 and plan on sending more. I was just thinking that it could be something that Priority or another brand could consider. #1 You order a new bike and check ☑️ the box that you have a bike to donate. #2 They mail you your bike and have instructions on how to repack your donated bike. #3 You confirm that your bike is ready for pickup or drop off at the post office. #4 The world has less waste and your old bike gets new usage. Of course there are many nuances to this and it’s much more complicated. Perhaps you would not only need to donate your bicycle but be willing to donate the shipping fees. But some people like me are as concerned about the environment as helping people in need.
I have one of the first run of the 600X (going on 4 years). It was and is still the best value in a bike with Pinion and Gates drive technology.....Bar None! The nearest competitor with similar equipment starts at $5K ish. I learned of this bike from you, Ryan. Thank you. Looks like this new version will also be a keeper. As an aside, it looks like the frame triangle loses some real estate. Is that true? No matter. There is always a tradeoff. Now I need to make an excuse to get one of the new ADX's. Hard to do when my X is still going strong. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad that you’re loving the 600x!! The frame triangle is indeed smaller, unfortunately, but now the bike will fit more people. Happy trails
Is there a reason that you moved away from the Wren fork? Complexity? Durability?
Wren is great, but we wanted a lighter weight fork.
You da man Duzer!!! One day maybe we can ride bikes together!
hope so!
I've got a OG 600X, which I love. The frame doesn't feel particularly flexy. Curious why the new frame gussets for support were added in the two places was. I doubt (many) frames were breaking or being warrantied, but maybe it was to increase the rider weight for this new model? Should I be concerned for my OG frame developing cracks around the gearbox?
Hi there! We strengthened and stiffened the frame to raise the weight limit and allow more seatpost extension with a shorter seat tube (one of the ways we improved standover). For some riders with gear in the front and the rear, the gussets also help to keep the weight from swinging around as much on rough terrain. Your bike won't develop cracks :)
Also, your frame is warrantied for 5 years if anything ever happens
Wish I could fit one of these, but at 5’1” and a 27” inseam. Looks like I’ll have to keep looking 😢
Bring back the blue, and possibly orange/red 😁 color. Sparkle grey is meh.
The blue is cool- we have kept the color neutral because everyone’s bags and accessories add the color pops!
Even better, leave it raw... cheaper and good for the planet.
Ryan is an alien on a bike and catches bikes in mid air..I have said this before, yet I think he would CRUSH the field in Tours, as in DeFrance/Espana/Italy, etc,etc, with NO EPO/aids..Ryan. keep the mechanical shifting..I LOVED my gripshift!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Digging the changes on the new model. Love the bolts too, already had changed mine out on the 600x.
Great news on the new hub as well.
Any chance Priority will just sell a new rear wheel for us OG folks? Between being 25mm wide and noisy hubs I’d love to upgrade.
Hey thanks! They don’t typically sell parts, but you could reach out…it is a noisy hub though
Quick question, what is the gear-inch range of the ADX?
Thanks, great video btw
16.1” to 97.5”
@@duzer Wow, that's a granny gear for sure.... Thanks for the info and the great videos over the years (still Love Cycles is my fav and a calm in the storm... a series to go back to as this world gets crazier and crazier)
Other than the Priority Adventure Center in Mill Valley, California, is there a way to see/ touch/ ride this and other bikes that Priority offers? It appears that Priority is partnering with Dogfish Head in June for a "Good Vibes & Bike Rides" event- will they have bikes to sample at that event? Will there be future events for experiencing the Priority line-up?
The Adventure Center is really the only place, and yes, they usually have a lineup of different models to test out at all their events. Stay tuned for more events!
NYC and Mill Valley are our two places with bicycles to check out. We have really focused on the online experience as a way to deliver value to our customers. Feel free to hit us with questions anytime, we are helpful! Keep an eye out for events, too!
ADX: Any Damn eXcuse to go bike packing. It's a great price for an entire bike with a Pinion gear box, a Gates belt and plenty of mounts added to the frame.
Haha!! I like that one!!
Your the best RYAN
Awwww ;)
I would love to own one. I will wait for another remake/resizing of the bike. Every bike and most clothing manufacturers think that everyone is 5'3" or taller. I am 5', that's all, and at 64.5 years old, I ain't getting any taller 😂.
Thanks for the effort, but just don't stop working on it!
very happy with the geometry of my 600x .. love the high stack. The added stiffness is nice though. I'm still voting for the old 600x geometry completely in 4130er chromoly steel...will never happen I know :)
Very Good Marketing - In addition, the incremental changes are something that perhaps Surly will copy. I kind of like external bike cables. Fishing wires into space where they may be unguided seems like a gamble. I do not like the new screws. I like screws that can be started with the fingers. I guess anybody can go to the hardware store and change back to the other kind. This bicycle company does seem to respond to their customers. The video reminded me of Beau of the Fifth Column - Was that intentional? People like Beau. If I get a new bike, I'll consider this brand. No derailleur - No chain
Who’s Beau? I’ll have to google that.
@@duzer Not a bike guy.
Love this bike! From watching an earlier video I thought priority was going to make a more affordable option?
We are, and I talk about that in this video. Stay tuned!
@duzer will it a rigid fork bike? I prefer to have low rider panniers in the front.
@@duzerwhen the new bike gets announced, will the USD250 discount for the ADX still be around? I actually wanted to order the Gemini, but the max weight of 275 lbs is really cutting it close, so I am hesitant to order it.
Now I want one of these too 😫😫😫😭
Your right, the engineer for Pinion was at Prorsche. Sorry
Your attention to detail in the 600ADX is even evident in your attention to detail in video production, attention to detail in bolts, check, attention to finger nails, check, attention to cuticles, check. See you in Banff Duzer, I cant ride this year (again) but I want take in the atmosphere.
hahaha, I definitely take good care of my cuticles ;) See you in Banff
My wishlist change would be a permanent / welded-on rear rack with 200+lb weight capacity
So awesome bike
We agree!
Nice new bikes
But I am really looking forward to see the new Gimini.
Will you be doing a review on it?
Yeah, I’ll make a video about that kind when I get my hands on it
Yeah me too!
I found videos about the Gimini from Priority Bicycle.
One big deception is the max weight capacity. I have been looking for a replacement for my Trek Checkpoint for a similar bike geometry but capable of carrying north of 300 pounds and equipped with a Pinion transmission.
I would have ordered the bike right away if it wasn't limited to 275 pounds.
When can we get one? Looks like they're either sold out or not available yet. I went to configure one and no dice.
It’s up and running now!
really nice bike for a great price! perfect to get you off the couch into some (good) trouble :)
You got that right!
Esta bien chula eso es una maquina debora trails
La más chula ;)
I took out all the bolts in the frame when I got my green guru
Annnndddd....sold out😅😅! Nice to see Ryan is looking forward to cheering the Dutch [orange] soccer team to the win this European Championship;]
I always cheer for the Dutch (when they’re not playing Sweden). Orange is one of my favorite colors
Now I just need to save some money to buy one. Hope to see you at the 2025 Huracan 300.
I’d love to make it back there!
🔥🔥🔥lets gooooo
edit: never thought about the off-set wheel on a regular shifter :O
Interesting stuff, eh?
I'd like a red bike with the 600 AR geo with 600x tire size, dynamo hub powered lights, steel rigid fork, suspension seatpost, pinion p18 gearbox, and mounting points on the fork
I definitely wanted more sparkles.
😂😂😂 nothing better than more sparkles ;)
Im ruding between Pensacola Beach and Navarre today
Oooh!!! Im jealous of you beach people. Have fun!
How about a cup holder?! I think there’s room for one on there somewhere. Definitely needs a cup holder!
J
Not just a cup holder, a SUPER BIG GULP bucket holder 😂😂
Beautiful
Want one for the sparkles
✨✨✨
Come back to Florida to do CFITT and bring the new bike.
Ooooh!! I wanna do that
i really appreciate that it doesn't come with an inverted suspension bike. it allows for things like mounting an OMM Divide rack which is my personal optimal front packing method. (not for everyone of course but i personally appreciated it)
Now if only i could trade all my bikes for this one.
We’re happy that this fork will be easier for people to mount things onto!
Is the Fox fork interchangeable with the Wren fork?
The ADX has a 500mm Axel to crown length, the 600x with Wren has a 530mm axel to crown length…so it would ride a little weird
@@duzer thanks for the info.
This looks like a great bike, but there's two things that keeps me from buying this:
1. I don't care about some gimmicky dropper post. A more traditional frame geometry that would allow for a bigger triangle bag would be a lot better. After all. It's a bikepacking bike.
2. A suspension fork comes with endless and complicated maintenance. I want my bikepacking bike to be as maintenance free as possible.
3. Proper shifter lever. I don't want to have to let go of the handlebar every time I shift. It's inconvenient and possibly dangerous.
Anyway. Keep up the good work! :)
I love my dropper on technical terrain, it makes descending much safer. I also love the grip shift, have you tried it? As for a suspension fork, you’re right, they’re a bit more maintenance, but again, it makes descending technical terrain safer and more comfortable. Sounds like you enjoy a more traditional touring bike and I totally get that. I want this bike to be able to handle the rough stuff ;)
@@duzer I can totally understand why you want it just the way it is.
I have tried grip shifting, but it was like a billion years ago. I'm quite set in my ways. ;)
And you're probably right. I'm probably looking for something else. :D I just wish that bike existed though. :(
Lauf Grit fork would be awesome to see on a variation of this bike. That would make for a truly near maintenance free bike. I think there's a different touring bike with grit fork and rohloff hub but not with pinion so far.
