Rocky Mountain announces Sherpa overland bike


News bot

Recommended Posts

Rocky Mountain Bicycles is excited to announce the new Sherpa overland bike. Bikepacking has been around for a long time, but the Sherpa puts a Rocky Mountain twist on the concept. We wanted a bike that could tackle more challenging terrain and would let us get a little rowdy—even loaded down for multi day self-supported adventures. The Sherpa will carry you and your gear to the ends of the earth, far from the nearest Strava segment and through whatever ambitious backcountry route you didn’t know you were planning.

The fatter wheels is novel.

But the rest of packing stuff you buy easily in North America/Canada. 

 

Just this weekend past my brother packed the same kit configuration on his Ibis Ripley and did a 250km ride with one night sleep over at some lake. 

The Ibis even have extra water bottle mounts under the downtube.

Read about this early last year. Been looking forward to its launch. Some clever ideas on the bike, especially the charging station.
