The ADV 9.0 is built around Boardman’s all-new C10 carbon frameset, designed to balance off-road stability with fast, efficient handling on the road. Weighing just 990g, the frame keeps things light without sacrificing strength where it matters. The geometry has been tuned for gravel and rough-road riding, with a slack head angle, long top tube and low 73mm bottom bracket drop helping the bike stay steady through loose corners and uneven tracks. Short stems across the size range sharpen up steering and keep control feeling intuitive.

Comfort features are built directly into the frame. The contoured seat tube and bow-curved seat stays help absorb vibration and small impacts, reducing fatigue on long, rugged routes. With clearance for 42mm tyres and multiple mounting points—including positions inside the main triangle, under the down tube and on the top tube—the ADV 9.0 is easy to set up for long rides, lightweight bikepacking or everyday exploring.

A full carbon fork with a tapered steerer adds stiffness and precision at the front of the bike, particularly useful when picking lines across rough terrain or descending gravel at speed. Thru-axles at both ends boost overall rigidity, making the bike feel direct and composed without adding unnecessary weight.

Shimano’s GRX 2x11 drivetrain combines RX600 shifters with RX810 derailleurs for smooth and reliable shifting on mixed terrain. The 46/30 chainset paired with an 11–32 cassette offers a wide range without large jumps between gears, giving you efficient options for steep gravel climbs, rolling lanes and faster road sections. The GRX front derailleur sits further out from the frame to maintain mud and tyre clearance in off-road conditions.

RX400 hydraulic brakes provide confident stopping power with easy modulation, helping maintain control on sketchy surfaces. The wide-stance Boardman ADV bars feature a 6-degree flare for stability when descending on the drops, and a Prologo Akero AGX saddle provides a supportive perch designed for rough-road comfort.

The bike rolls on Boardman’s asymmetric, tubeless-ready rims laced to Formula thru-axle hubs. Panaracer GravelKing SK 38mm tyres complete the package, offering a well-balanced tread: fast-rolling through the centre, with chunkier edge knobs for secure cornering on looser terrain. Their supple 120tpi casing boosts grip and comfort, and the wheels come taped with valves included for easy tubeless conversion—just add sealant.

Designed for varied British riding—from bridleways and fire roads to towpaths and worn-out lanes—the ADV 9.0 encourages longer days and wider routes, offering a capable, confident and well-balanced platform for all-terrain adventures.
