WIDE-RANGE 1x DRIVETRAINS
Both Larkspur models are built around modern, wide-range drivetrains, 10-speed on the Larkspur 1 and 11-speed on the Larkspur 2. These drivetrains are stout and have all the gearing most anyone could use, without relying on sometimes-fussy front derailleurs. Clutch-type rear derailleurs and narrow-wide front chainrings keep the chain on track, all the time.

DISC BRAKES
Hydraulic disc brakes provide smooth, controlled stopping in all conditions with minimal maintenance.
