Blackheart Bike co is getting ready for the chunky gravel with a twist on its popular Allroad AL frame — Allroad ALt. The new gravel creation mixes the Allroad AL, the new ENVE Gravel fork, and some very intentional product specs. The result is a flat-bar gravel rig that can take on more than most, with a classic-looking frame that begs to shred.
For most, the Blackheart Bike Co. brings back a love of alloy not seen since the Cannondale CAAD 9 days. The Blackheart bikes, however, are much more capable, with BSA bottom brackets, ample tire clearance, and effortless compatibility.
What is it — Blackheart Allroad Alt
The all-new gravel creation from Blackheart Bike Co. is old and new. The old is the Allroad AL frame; the new is the ENVE gravel fork and the specs. The Allroad AL frame is a do-it-all design with a classic look and endless build options.
Blackheart Allroad ALt Frame
The Allroad ALt frame is double-butted 7005 aluminum with a max tire clearance of 50mm for 650b and 40mm for 700c. The new Allroad ALt comes in a frameset or fully built options in either a classic matte black colorway or a standout off-white.
The frameset ($1575) arrives with an aluminum seat post clamp, Cane Creek 40 IS42/IS52 headset, and a Wolf Tooth 12mm (1.5 x 164mm) thru-axle set.
The carbon ENVE Gravel fork arrives in stock matte black but can be upgraded to a custom color and paint job for an extra $250. Blackheart’s Allroad ALt frame comes in sizes: 46, 49, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, and 62cm.
Build options — Blackheart Allroad Alt
For those looking to purchase a Blackheart Allroad Alt and hit the road immediately, the best option is the prebuilt bunch. Currently, the only build options are SRAM starting at mechanical GX, moving to GX AXS, and finishing with a flagship version with SRAM XO1 AXS.
Riders can choose between HUNT Adventure Alloy 650b and HUNT Adventure Carbon 650b wheels. The HUNT Adventure carbon wheels will add an extra $350 to the overall order, which seems like a low cost for a carbon wheel upgrade in the long run.
