News bot Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 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.

Shebeen Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 hmmmmmmm. i like the look of this, but would have wanted to see some integrated packing options. who will be the first one to take it down the FC?
IH8MUD Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited April 16, 2015 by IH8MUD

Ryanpmb Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Read about this early last year. Been looking forward to its launch. Some clever ideas on the bike, especially the charging station.
