Sanitas NODE Gravel Titanium Review: Fast & Nimble from Durango, Colorado

Sanitas NODE Gravel Titanium Review

“Those local to the Front Range of Colorado may be familiar with the name “Sanitas”. It is a local hotspot of the athletes located in Boulder, Colorado. This mountain has two ways up to the top. One path is a slow gradual grade up over a few miles comprised of small cobbles and pea-gravel. The other path is full large rocky steps with steep and stout grade to the top. We feel that this is symbolic to the cycling industry. We have no opinions or preference on how you get to the top as long as you get there. That is what we are here for, to provide a unique experience and create special moments on the way to the top of the mountain, whatever that may be for you.” – https://sanitasbikes.com
