We invited top media test riders to check out the all-new Wabash RT, and were excited to see Motorcyclist Magazine calls it “... a good addition to the garage for the avid powersport enthusiast.”

As Adam Waheed, editor and test rider, states: “This bike is designed for riders who want a road bike that they can ride on pavement and off-highway, on light-duty trails.”

The Wabash RT is a performance drop-bar gravel bike designed for long hauls off-road and a tough-as-dirt attitude on all roads. With integrated battery and Yamaha’s PWSeries ST drive unit, the Wabash RT combines traditional road bike design elements with key off-road performance features including:

• Flared handlebars that provide stability, confidence and versatility on roads and trails, ultimately translating into a relaxed and fun ride. The wider drop also allows for easier incorporation of handlebar packs for bike-packing adventure trips. (The new Wabash is both front and rear rack compatible.)
• Shimano GRX drivetrain with a 44t chainring, 11-42t 11-speed cassette, 11-speed ST-RX600 shifter, and KMC e11 Turbo EPT Chain.
• Shimano GRX RX hydraulic brakes with 180mm centerlock rotors for ultimate stopping power even in loose terrain.
• Maxxis Rambler 700 x 45c TR EXO 120tpi tires for optimal grip on a range of paved and off-road surfaces.
• Built-in dropper seat post with 40-60mm of travel.
• 12mm thru axle on both front and rear hubs that increase control and strength when cornering and accelerating up the road.
