The Vision

We are super stoked to show off Chris’ new rig! We’ve got some exclusive shots of the rig shown below. If you’d like to read more about the bike, check out the write up on the BikePack Adventures Website!

This build is all about pushing limits and Chris’ Instagram caption sums it up perfectly: “For this build, I wanted something that could keep up with my riding style: fast, rugged, and ready for whatever sketchy singletrack or unmaintained backroad I throw at it. So, I started with the latest version of Panorama’s carbon gravel bike, the 2025 Katahdin 2.1, and built it up into the rig you see here. It’s light, tough, and dialed for the kind of riding I love most.”
