Unveiled at Bespoked 2025 in Dresden, Germany, this Outback Xplore GT II concept represents everything we believe a modern expedition bike should be: self-sufficient, reliable, and ready for whatever the road throws at it.
Designed for long-distance riders who venture far from civilization, it combines robust engineering, intelligent details, and autonomous power supply — then pairs it with a matching Mule trailer for serious load-carrying capability.
Built for the big journey
The Stratocrom CrMo steel frame with the TBA III tensioning system is stable, durable, and engineered for high loads. The Pinion C1.12i Smart.Shift gearbox with Gates Carbon Drive belt delivers low-maintenance propulsion and precise electronic shifting — regardless of weather or terrain.
Pinion C1.12i Smart.Shift
Electronic shifting precision meets proven Pinion gearbox technology. The C1.12i offers 12 evenly spaced gears and — combined with the belt drivetrain — maximum maintenance freedom. This is the drivetrain for riders who can't afford a mechanical failure days from the nearest bike shop.
TRP Hywire Brakes
Hydraulic reliability with simple maintenance — precise modulation and strong braking power on long descents, whether loaded or not.
Tout Terrain Longhorn Dropbar + Ritchey Clip-On Extensions
Aerodynamic and comfortable in equal measure — the Longhorn Dropbar with Ritchey clip-on extensions provides an efficient position for long days in the saddle and reduces drag into a headwind. Multiple hand positions keep you comfortable over thousands of miles.
Revelate Designs Bikepacking Bags
A complete Revelate Designs bag setup — frame bag, handlebar bag, and seatpack — fitted perfectly to the Outback geometry. Light, tough, and weather-resistant. Everything you need for months on the road, without a rack in sight.
Tout Terrain Mule Trailer
The matching Mule trailer extends your expedition range without compromising handling. Equipped with its own hub dynamo, integrated lighting, a Ladeplug Plus for autonomous power, and a suspended single-wheel design, it carries gear securely even on rough tracks — and detaches in seconds when you want to ride light.
The Outback Xplore GT II 29 Select 6.1 and the Mule trailer are both available now from our Tucson, AZ warehouse. Full expedition concept components — including Pinion Smart.Shift — are available as a custom build order.
