Broken Road ST XT
Steel wilderness hardtail for big mountain days and fully loaded adventures off the beaten track. It’s the perfect choice to tackle long distance point-to-points like the Tour Divide or the Atlas Mountain Race, eating up off-road miles day after day.
High-quality 4130 chromoly steel tubing gives that coveted steel ride feel; lively and vibration-absorbing with all the capability of modern trail geometry. Optimised strengthening gussets at the headtube and bottom bracket add stiffness where its needed without adding excess weight – this helps maintain handling when carrying heavier frame bags or panniers.
Optimised for use with 29″ tyres; soak up uneven ground and enjoy a confidence-inspiring, stable ride at higher speeds. A long wheelbase and relaxed head angle strike the perfect balance between comfortable uphill grinding and hair-raising downhill whooping and make for efficient all-day riding over rough terrain.
Build your dream rig with a full set of expedition rack mounts, we’ve designed the Broken Road to be loaded up with kit and pointed towards remote places. Highly durable and ultimately repairable; steel frames can take heaps of abuse even when you’re carrying everything but the kitchen sink – offering peace of mind on multi-day trips and more technical trails.

Why Shimano XT?
Shimano drivetrains are designed, engineered and manufactured to work as complete drivetrain systems. Shimano’s new microspline hub means that you can run a 10 tooth cassette for a huge gear range. The new EV shifters and brakes provide loads of adjustment to get the perfect position as well as a rock-solid feel on the bars. And the 4-pot brakes provide consistent and reliable stopping power.
