BOMBTRACK Beyond AL Apex - Matt Metallic Red

The Beyond AL Apex – Matt Metallic Red is the aluminium interpretation of the Beyond platform: a modern adventure/bikepacking bike that is lighter and more responsive than the classic steel version, yet still built to handle demanding terrain, long-distance touring and real off-road riding. The hydroformed 6061-T6 aluminium frame delivers efficient power transfer and excellent load capacity, while the aluminium fork with triple mounts and rack/fender eyelets opens up a wide range of packing options.

The SRAM Apex 1×11 drivetrain with an 11–42 T cassette provides a generous gear range for steep climbs with bags on board, while the mixed wheel concept (27.5″ on size S, 29″ from M upwards) optimises control and rolling behaviour according to rider height. WTB Ranger 2.0″ tubeless-ready tyres complete a package that is ready for travel, rough gravel and technical tracks.

If you are looking for a gravel-adventure aluminium bike that can easily switch from a full bikepacking rig to a daily exploration machine, the Beyond AL Apex is a solid, modern and capable choice, based on a geometry that has been thoroughly proven in real-world adventure riding.

Why it’s a Beyond AL Apex

• Hydroformed 6061-T6 aluminium frame with multiple mounts for racks, fenders and accessories.
• Aluminium fork with rack mounts, triple cage mounts and internal hub dynamo routing.
• SRAM Apex 1×11 drivetrain with 11–42 T cassette, ideal for steep climbs and varied terrain.
• Adventure / MTB-inspired geometry: stable under load, confident off-road and comfortable on long days.
• Mixed wheel sizes: 27.5″ (S) and 29″ (M–XL) to balance agility, comfort and rollover ability by rider size.

Key strengths

• Aluminium construction: lighter than steel, with frame and fork still optimised for heavy-duty touring.
• TRP Spyre C mechanical disc brakes: powerful, reliable and easy to service on the road.
• WTB Ranger 27.5″ or 29″ x 2.0″ tyres, tubeless-ready: traction and control on gravel, dirt and light singletrack.
• Full rack & fender ready: frame and fork with complete mounting points for front/rear racks and fenders.
• Adventure-focused component choice: comfortable cockpit, generous tyre clearance, T47 BB and modern standards.

Short description

Beyond AL Apex – Matt Metallic Red is a robust and versatile aluminium adventure/gravel bike, designed for bikepacking, off-road touring, rough gravel and long-distance exploration. It combines the proven Beyond geometry with a lighter, more responsive frame while retaining excellent load capacity and on-bike comfort.

Ideal for

• Multi-day off-road bikepacking and adventure touring.
• Technical gravel, light singletrack and mountain dirt roads.
• Heavily loaded touring with full bags and racks.
• “No limits” exploration near home, including trails usually reserved for MTB.

Technical interpretation

The Beyond AL Apex is clearly oriented towards off-road use and loaded touring. The ability to run tyres up to 2.25″ (depending on size) allows you to build the bike almost like a rigid MTB, while still enjoying the efficiency and multi-position control of a dropbar cockpit.

• 27.5″ setup (size S): more compact and agile, ideal for shorter riders and twisty routes, with excellent traction and comfort.
• 29″ setup (M–XL): rolls smoothly over obstacles, efficient on long dirt climbs, fast gravel and flowing off-road sections.
• Front PM mount with up to 203 mm rotor: huge braking margin, especially useful on long, technical descents with luggage.

In short, the Beyond AL Apex sits between a rigid MTB touring bike and an extreme gravel bike: a highly capable base for riders who do not want to be limited by terrain.

Geometry

¹ The bike size recommendation is an indicative guideline to narrow down options based on rider height. Proper bike fitting is complex and should also account for additional body measurements and factors. Since no two riders are exactly the same, it is impossible to provide advice that is 100% accurate for everyone. The best way to confirm your correct size is to contact your Bombtrack dealer (info@bikejamming.it) or a professional bike fitter.
