The Dual Sport 3 is a powerful hybrid bike with high-quality components that easily withstand long rides on a wide variety of terrain – from city and country roads to gravel tracks. In addition, the suspension fork, the 1x drive with a wide range of gear ratios, the tubeless ready rims and the puncture-resistant tires inspire more confidence for challenging cycling adventures.
It's the right bike for you if…
… you are looking for a little more excitement and adventure on your rides and you want a fast and robust all-round bike – with high-quality parts that can handle not only the daily commute to work, but also fitness-oriented rides, all-day bike tours and much more.
You get this equipment
A lightweight aluminum frame, a suspension fork with a lockout function and a 1×10 Shimano drivetrain that eliminates the need for a front derailleur, contributing to the bike's clean look and intuitive operation. But don't worry: With the wide gear range of the 11-46 cassette, you have more than enough gears for tough climbs and rapid descents. You also get hydraulic disc brakes from Shimano, tubeless-ready wheels, puncture-resistant all-terrain tires, ergonomic grips and a Blendr stem for easy integration of accessories.
Our last word
The Dual Sport 3 is fast and efficient on asphalt and confident and robust on unpaved surfaces. It boasts upgrades where they make the biggest difference in performance, like the simpler, lightweight Shimano 1x drivetrain, tubeless ready rims and puncture-resistant tires.
Why you will love it
- As much as necessary, as little as possible: With the 1x drive you have all the gears you really need.
- Thanks to the hydraulic lockout function on the suspension fork, you are always on the move efficiently: locked on smooth asphalt, unlocked on bumpy ground.
- A wide range of gear ratios guarantees optimal cadence at all times, even on the steepest climbs.
- It can easily be retrofitted with pannier racks, fenders, lights and kickstands. And with a DuoTrap S sensor, you can track your driving performance on your fitness tracker of choice.
- The internal cable routing extends the life of your cables and contributes to the elegant look of the bike.
Features
Adaptable
Customize your bike with mudguards, racks, bottle cages and more.
Does my bike have a curved top tube?
Size S frames have a top tube that curves just before the seat tube. This design allows for a lower standover height, accommodating smaller riders who will find it easier to mount. The larger frames (M and larger) have a straight top tube because taller riders usually don't have an issue with standover height.
1x drive
A 1×10 drivetrain means more versatility, simplified shifting and fewer components to break. The gear range is still large, but the groupset is lighter overall and shifting itself is more intuitive. Everything you need – nothing superfluous.
Generous tire clearance
Accommodates 700x45C tires with fenders or 29"x2.1" MTB tires without fenders.
Rack and fender compatibility
The integrated threaded eyelets make it easier to mount luggage racks and mudguards for an extra dose of everyday usability.
Internal trains
We lay the brake and shift cables in the frame – a simple and clean affair. And it just looks good!
Puncture proof tyres
Sturdy Bontrager hard-case tires – so you won't be held back by punctures.
Blendr stem
Bontrager stem technology lets you attach your gear directly to the stem for a clean look and maximum ease of use.
DuoTrap S compatible
DuoTrap S (sold separately) integrates a Bluetooth®/ANT+ sensor into the frame. Record your tours and fitness progress on your computer or smartphone without an external sensor. The sensor is compatible with all other ANT+-enabled devices, whether from Bontrager, Garmin, PowerTap or SRM.
