The EXT has a steel frame, carbon fork, and 27.5-inch wheels that let it go where other drop handlebar bikes can't go. When paired with Sram's 1 x 11 Rival group, this bike has the gearing and stopping power to handle the most demanding riding conditions. This year's edition of an integrated rear light mount broadens the range of possible configurations.

This is a great choice when you're unsure of the terrain but know you want to have fun riding it — Hook EXT is the way to go.
