That part has not changed. The new model is still unmistakably a GMX+. It has just been improved in the right places. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStill ready to take on multi-week tours through challenging terrain, and carry the water, food and gear to stay safe out there. Still a long, stable bike for rough roads, corrugations, desert sand and river stones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe idea hasn’t changed - just the execution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe geometry has been relaxed, with a longer head tube, especially in the larger sizes. At the small end, standover has come down a touch. We’ve made targeted geometry tweaks to match how our customers have used this style of bike over the years, without noticeably compromising its load-carrying capacity or handling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe tyre benchmark has also changed. The GMX+ V2 is now optimised around \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2.6” tyres\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. That is what most GMX+ riders are actually using, and it also lines up nicely with wide-tyre availability right now. There is still room for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3.0” tyres\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e for loaded missions on sandy desert roads when you need them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe major update on the GMX+ V2 is the dropout system, which introduces the widest range of drivetrain flexibility possible. The GMX+ V2 uses the same sliding dropout mechanism as the UpRock v2. It is a clever mix-and-match system with a wide range of insert options. The stock setup is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSRAM UDH \/ 160 mm flat-mount brake \/ Boost spacing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, but the frame can be configured for a huge range of combinations across axle spacing, brake mount type, axle type and drivetrain. That includes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRohloff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSRAM T-type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUDH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehangerless single speed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. You just need a separate set of sliding inserts to accommodate a different configuration - that’s a whole lot better than needing a new frame.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe GMX+ V2 also gets a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebarely visible split in the drive-side seat stay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, allowing belt-drive compatibility in a way that is neat, elegant and easy to miss unless you know where to look. It is the same tidy solution used on the UpRock V2, and it gives the GMX+ V2 platform another layer of discreet adaptability. The chain-stays are also more minimal, adding a touch more comfort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp front, the GMX+ v2 is built around the super robust \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeek 430 FM fork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e with our new VGM mounts. This low axle-to-crown fork has a class-leading load-carrying capacity of 8 kg on each fork leg and a huge 29“ x 3.0” tyre clearance. It is still the right fork for this bike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe GMX+ V2 is still the bike inspired by the Overlanders. Still tested in real-life conditions. Still made for going long without support. Still designed around wide tyre clearance, ultra-wide drop bars, and featuring numerous mounting points for storage and water. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo this is not a reinvention; the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGMX+ V2 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis just an even better execution of the original vision.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curve Cycling","offers":[{"title":"XXS","offer_id":45500208447664,"sku":"CV-GMXV2-XXS-FS","price":5099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XS","offer_id":45500208349360,"sku":"CV-GMXV2-XS-FS","price":5099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"SM","offer_id":45500208251056,"sku":"CV-GMXV2-SM-FS","price":5099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MD","offer_id":45500208218288,"sku":"CV-GMXV2-MD-FS","price":5099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XM","offer_id":45500208316592,"sku":"CV-GMXV2-XM-FS","price":5099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LG","offer_id":45500208185520,"sku":"CV-GMXV2-LG-FS","price":5099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":45500208283824,"sku":"CV-GMXV2-XL-FS","price":5099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":45500208414896,"sku":"CV-GMXV2-XXL-FS","price":5099.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0201\/1062\/files\/DSC01206_a0fd9ab9-e721-445f-abe6-8be064310199.jpg?v=1788998712","url":"https:\/\/www.curvecycling.com\/products\/gmx-v2-titanium-frameset","provider":"Curve Cycling ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
