With a Tange steel frame, clearance for 29 x 2.1″ tires, loads of mounts, and a dedicated portage bar, the new RONDO BOGAN ST looks like quite an interesting bikepacking rig. Find the specs and a launch video here…
Alongside their RUUT and MUTT all-road/gravel bikes, Gdańsk, Poland-based RONDO originally released the BOGAN ST in 2019. Designed specifically for bikepacking, the BOGAN ST is built around a Tange Champion double butted cro-mo steel frame, and a RUUT Twintip 2.0 Fly carbon fork, which features two axle positions to change the offset and fork length. The BOGAN ST is designed for 29 x 2.1″ tires has plenty of provisions, including triple cage mounts on the fork, a unique portage handle, dedicated frame-bags bosses, internal dropper post routing, full fender/rack compatibility, and loads of mounts, including a pair on each seat stay.
