Priority Apollo Gravel Bike Drop Bar

The Priority Apollo is a low-maintenance gravel and all-road bike built for everything from daily riding and fast gravel roads to touring and bikepacking adventures. Instead of a traditional derailleur drivetrain, the Apollo pairs a Shimano Alfine 11-speed internally geared hub with a Gates Carbon Drive belt, giving you smooth shifting, a wide gear range, and a drivetrain that requires very little day-to-day maintenance.

The Shimano Alfine 11-speed hub provides a 409% gear range, with the gears protected inside the hub from rain, dust, mud, and gravel. The Gates belt drive eliminates the traditional chain, cassette, and derailleur—there's no chain to lubricate, no derailleur to knock out of adjustment, and considerably less drivetrain cleanup after dirty rides.

Built around a lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum frame and carbon fork, the Apollo balances efficiency on pavement with stability and comfort on gravel. 700 x 40mm tubeless-ready tires provide plenty of volume for rough roads, while the frame and fork are also 650b compatible for riders interested in experimenting with wider tires.

The Apollo is available with either a drop-bar or flat-bar cockpit, making it easy to choose the riding position that best fits your adventures. Drop bars provide multiple hand positions for long gravel rides and bikepacking trips, while the flat-bar version offers additional leverage and control on rough terrain and when carrying gear.
