FAST GRAVEL DNA · ROAD PRECISION

King Zydeco 2

The fast gravel that thinks like a road bike. Frame revised for modern road groupsets — same UCI-grade clearance, same Dual Response ride.

THE BRIEF

Built for riders who demand the speed and precision of a road bike — with the versatility and durability of a gravel platform.

The frame has been revised to perfectly accommodate modern road groupsets. Smoother integration, cleaner cable routing, compatibility with compact and mid-compact cranksets (52×36) — and every millimetre of the 45 mm tyre clearance and Dual Response handling we built the original around.

where the engineering lives

Every detail is there because the original Zydeco was a fast gravel benchmark — and because the King now has to talk to road groupsets without losing a beat.
