The rebirth of John Tomac's cult hardtail
It's actually quite simple: cross a hardtail and a racing bike. With the "Hook ADV", however, the Cologne-based bike designers from Bombtrack do it with such consistency that the result rolls along quite sensationally. The suspension fork, dropper post, 2.25-inch tires and disc brakes come from the hardtail, while the racing bar comes from the racing bike.
Steel is the material of choice for the frame, with Columbus 4130 tubes installed. The bottom bracket is easy to service, it is bolted and of the T47 standard. If you really want to let it rip with the "Hook ADV", you can also attach a chain guide thanks to an ISCG 05 mount.
The suspension fork from MRP offers 40 millimetres of travel and takes the fear out of gravel tracks. On the other hand, no luggage can or should be mounted on the fork - otherwise the frame is equipped with numerous eyelets so that bikepacking luggage can be easily attached.
