Model Year 2016 Foundry Overland
Brought from Concept to Production covering industrial design and engineering responsibilities.
The Overland is the bike that can easily go from spring gravel races to racing cyclocross in the fall—with a few UltraCross races in between. It is the most versatile bike in the Foundry Cycles collection.
Inspired by my experience with UltraCross and gravel racing, I specifically designed the shaping butting and tapering of the 3Al/2.5V Titanium tubeset and bumped up the tire clearance to 41c to better handle the rooty and rocky terrain that many courses feature. The Overland is also at home on today’s UCI cyclocross courses with a geometry that balances acceleration and quickness with stability. Front and rear thru-axles offer additional front and rear stiffness.
