What defines the Hook EXT Apex Eagle
The Hook EXT Apex Eagle in Metallic Sunglow Fade is built for riders who experience exploration as a natural rhythm. The warm gradient evokes open landscapes and sunlit gravel roads, but its true identity emerges on demanding terrain.
This model pushes the Hook DNA toward rougher ground: technical gravel, light singletrack, steep climbs and routes where the surface changes constantly. The SRAM Apex Eagle 1×12 drivetrain delivers a wide, quiet and intuitive range, especially when riding fully loaded. The steel frame ensures confident handling, while the 27.5” wheels enhance traction and comfort.
If you’re looking for a capable, honest and adventure-ready bike built for long days out, the Hook EXT Apex Eagle is a trustworthy partner.

¹ Size recommendations generally represent a rough guideline for quickly narrowing down the sizes from which to choose based on the body height. Bike fitting is a complex topic and other measurements and factors have to be accounted for as well. Since no two human bodys are exactly the same it is not possible to give a 100% correct advice for everyone. The best way to work out the correct size is to consult your Bombtrack dealer (info@bikejamming.it) or a professional bike fitter and have them determine the needed size.
