About the OPEN U.P. Frameset

The OPEN U.P. is a carbon gravel frameset designed for versatility, fitting both 700c and 650b wheels and tires up to 2.1 inches. It has a cult following for its light weight, compliant ride, and clever engineering. Riders praise its handling and comfort on mixed terrain, though some find it expensive and note the limited tire clearance for 700c. It suits riders who want a do-it-all frame for gravel, road, and light trail use.
