TD4.2 56cm Availability

Hi – do you know when you will have the TD4.2 in size 56cm available again for order? I am hoping to build up a new gravel bike this summer.

Additionally, I live in the Seattle, WA area and am a mountain bike instructor with Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance (https://www.evergreenmtb.org/). Do you guys offer any industry discounts?

Thanks!

Jon

Jon,

Thanks for the note. We expect more 56cm TD4.2 in about mid June. They can be preordered now, or purchased when they arrive. We typically do allow EP when we have sufficient inventory, but even after the next shipment arrives, our inventory will remain low through the end of the year, so we unfortunately can’t offer EP on TD4 before 2027.

Thanks!

    Thank you and I understand on the pricing!

    One more question – if I order the Naked frame option (I love the look) are these in any way less protected than a full paint job? I am guessing so as there are less layers between the elements and the carbon. I tend to ride bikes aggressively and get rock chips frequently, so wanted to understand if there is added frame damage risk with the naked frame.

    Jon,

    For additional protection there are a few options.

    1. Ride Wrap full frame protection ($300) wraps essentially the entire frame in clear protection film. Or can protect the most critical areas with the $60 self-installed Ride Wrap DIY kit.

    2. You can buy 3m clear film or “helicopter tape” from places like Amazon and also use that very effectively in high risk areas.

    The clear coat is pretty robust. We don’t see as many chips as we do gouges if people scrape it up against rocks, but extra protection is never a bad idea.
