The ROVR
This race-inspired gravel bike will take you beyond the ordinary. An entirely new platform with wide tire capability designed with versatility in mind. Whether it’s smooth gravel or seat dropper single track the ROVR will get you places.
The continued development of wide groupset innovations has inspired us to utilize the 73mm bottom bracket as a new frame standard. Through extensive testing, we’ve found this configuration ideal for achieving pure gravel adventure needs and overall function without compromising performance.
The ROVR is now ONLY compatible with wide spindle cranksets.

Wider is Better
We wanted to push the boundaries of tire sizing and found 68mm bottom bracket shells to be a limiting factor. To accommodate our desires to explore new territories on tires never before considered we reimagined our gravel design altogether. Developments in industry standards of 1x (1-by) cranks capable of use with a 73mm bottom bracket allowed us to accomplish our most lofty tire dreams.
The ROVR now offers you the option to adventure with tire sizing that now matches long time fork clearance standards set in place by ENVE Composites. The ROVR is capable of front and rear tire sizing up to 700c x 50mm and 650b x 2.25in

What size cassette is picture. I didn’t see info about the gearing. Mentioned about GRX which can be up to 11×42 with a 40 tooth crank. What is the largest cassette that can be used with a 40 tooth crank? Thanks.
