Introduction

N+None: when a bike's as versatile as the ADV, is there a need for anything else in your cycling stable? Whether it's a fully loaded, multi-day gravel adventure, a brisk weekend road ride, or stepping up to become the mudguard-laden winter mile muncher. The ADV range is a truly adaptable proposition.

Frame & Fork

A smooth welded 6061 alloy frame with butted tube profiles sits at the core of the ADV 8.8 adventure bike. To complement its clean aesthetic, the frames, thinned tubes, and carbon fork work together to reduce weight and improve ride quality.

In addition to its engaging and responsive handling, the ADV's versatility shines through. It boasts hidden mounts for full-length mudguards, fixings for a pannier rack, dropper post routing, bottle and storage fixings on the top tube, seat tube, downtube and fork legs.

Groupset

The ADV 8.8 takes advantage of microSHIFT's dedicated adventure Sword groupset. Ergonomically designed to meet the needs of modern gravel and adventure riders, Sword is a no-nonsense mechanical groupset with wide gearing ratios and design touches that make it simple to maintain, easy to live with and a joy to use.

Wheels & Tyres

The Boardman ADV 8.8 comes equipped with Goodyear 40mm gravel-specific Connector tyres, universally recognised for their exceptional performance and durability. The Connector has a versatile tread pattern featuring tightly spaced centre knobs combined with aggressive side knobs.

This combination offers the perfect balance of grip and speed, especially in loose conditions, making it the ideal choice for adventure and gravel riding.

Finishing Kit

Flared alloy handlebars allow for optimal ergonomic hand position on the hoods, more control while in the drops, and facilitate more frontal space to carry additional luggage.

Comfort is key whether you're rolling over pot-holed lanes or heading off the beaten track. The Boardman adventure saddle features a wider rear section and pressure relief channel, providing the right balance of comfort and firmness for an effective pedalling platform.
