Product Description
The WIDE 2.0 is engineered to be the fastest setup even when the terrain gets beyond terrible. From tough races to long tours, this is the bike. A fast rider position combined with monster tire clearance (up to 700x66c / 29x2.6") keeps you fast & comfortable, even on the worst possible terrain. Open's new AC/DC+ aero cargo fork gives you the speed you want in one-day rides & races and super-light cargo options for long expeditions. Standard on all WIDE 2.0 versions. Aero where it matters, Comfort where it counts. Aero matters most up-front (headtube, fork, bars, downtube), where airflow is still smooth. But aero without comfort is pointless if you cannot stay in your aero position on long rides. We optimize aero and compliance together, through tube design and carbon layup. As Open go further back on the frame, comfort always beats aero. The seattube, chainstay & seatstay shapes ensure the comfort OPEN is known for. As a bonus, the ultra-thin seatstays keep the frontal area small. They even get a micro-aero treatment. U-Turn AC/DC+: Aero & Cargo in one The U-Turn AC/DC+ (Aero-Cargo-Double-Combo) gives you the best of both worlds. It has a full aero profile for those fast rides and races, no matter how rough the terrain gets. To carry extra cargo on long adventures, use the integrated cargo slots. Strap your bags directly onto the fork legs with no weight penalty or install a standard cargo or bottle cage.
