Description
This Drifter X frameset was a review bike for James Huang’s N-1 Substack publication, and was ridden for several months in the course of that review. A very mildly custom geometry based on the 54cm Drifter X.
The Drifter X is engineered for riders who prioritize precise handling, drivetrain stiffness, and efficient power transfer across both paved and gravel surfaces. Its compact rear end and lower stack height create a responsive chassis with direct power delivery and a connected ride feel on fast terrain. The Drifter X platform features updated tire clearance for up to 42mm tires, striking a balance between all-road speed and light gravel capability.
