The Tumbleweed Prospector is a timeless and rugged expedition mountain touring bike, built for the most epic and remote adventures. As we said in a 2017 review, "Getting to the quiet places in the world can take some doing, but this versatile bike is up to the task, thanks to careful design and quality execution." It was BIKEPACKING.COM's top mountain bike for 2019. Here are some specs just to prove how amazing this bikepacking darling is.
