Introduction
The TRVL might seem like a 90s MTB with drop handlebars, but it's much more than that if you take a closer look. The 8.9s 6061 butted alloy frame features a myriad of mounting points for those fully-ladened expeditions where leaving something behind is not an option. Additionally, the dropper post routing and clearance for up to 50mm tyres allow you to customise it to tackle trails that those 90s MTBs would avoid.

Groupset
Featuring a SRAM 1x12 Apex groupset (the group that knows how to have a good time) with an 11-50 tooth cassette for smoother, more precise, and quicker shifts between gears, the bike also boasts SRAM Apex hydraulic disc brakes, that encompass power, reliability, and a lightweight design. Whether you're on a long gravel sportive or enjoying multi-day adventure fun, stopping won't be a problem!
Wheels & Tyres
The Boardman TRVL 8.9 alloy wheelset is tubeless ready. To experience the added grip, comfort, and versatility of a tubeless set-up, you only need to add sealant and valves!
Goodyear's 45mm gravel-specific Connector is the TRVL 8.9's tyre of choice. Designed as a fast-rolling all-terrain tyre, its versatile tread pattern with tightly-spaced centre knobs and aggressive side knobs delivers straight-line momentum whilst retaining grip demands when the direction changes or the route gets technical. They also have tan walls for a 90's vibe!
Finishing Kit
Gravel specific bars wrapped in a 3.5mm thick, high tack bar tape reduce vibrations, increase grip and make time on the hoods more comfortable. A 6-degree flare ensures you have better control over the bike when in the drops, whilst offering more space up front for additional luggage should you need it.
Aftercare
When you purchase a bike from Halfords, our support continues beyond the sale. We offer optional CycleCare plans for either 1 or 3 years, ensuring your bike remains in top condition with regular maintenance and expert care.
