OBED MMR Adventure Gravel Frameset

The MMR is our gravel adventure bike, built for riders who want to explore rough gravel roads and trails. It uses a purpose-built frame with robust yet compliant carbon lay-up, internal storage, and geometry tuned for comfort, making it perfect for long-distance adventures and technical terrain.

We placed the internal storage door on the underside of the downtube for easier access when the frame is loaded with bags. It allows riders to access their internal storage without removing any bottles or frame bags. It also doubles as a protective bash guard. 

With the factory liner installed to prevent noise, the storage capacity is 0.8 liters. We are able to fit our MMR tool roll (sold separately) with enough room for a tube and a lightweight shell. The liner is removable for cleaning or if riders want to fit more gear inside the frame. 

Yes! The MMR can be used as a gravel racer, especially on extremely rough or technical courses, or if you are looking for the extra comfort and confidence that larger tires provide.  

Yes! The MMR is a do-it-all bike and will be competent on the road. If you choose to install road tires on your MMR, we recommend using tires at least 700c x 40mm wide to reduce the effect smaller tires will have on the geometry. 

The MMR frame fits tires up to 700c x 57mm / 29 x 2.25”. With a 2x drivetrain, tire clearance is limited to 700c x 48mm due to the front derailleur. The MMR is not designed for 650b wheels and tires. 

The MMR Adventure Fork fit tires up to 700c x 57mm / 29 x 2.25” wide. Fox 32 Taper-Cast and Cane Creek Invert gravel suspension forks are officially rated for 700c x 50mm tires.

The MMR comes with tubeless-ready wheels and tires and is shipped set up tubeless with sealant from the factory. 

Yes! The MMR uses suspension-corrected geometry and is compatible with all standard gravel suspension forks on the market. 

Yes! The MMR is compatible with internally routed dropper seatposts. 

Yes! The MMR has built-in rear rack mounts. Rigid forks come with additional gear mounts on the fork legs. 

An MMR equipped with the base-level Shimano GRX 810 2x drivetrain will be set up from the factory with external cable routing. To modify the MMR for external routing with other drivetrains, submit a custom component request.

Custom requests can be submitted through the “Component Requests” box in our bike builder, or you can contact us at any time to inquire about custom requests. A member of our team will reach out for additional information. All custom requests are subject to availability, and additional charges may apply.

If you're on the border of two sizes, the right size may depend on certain body measurements and your riding style. Feel free to contact us at any time regarding sizing questions - our product specialists are experienced with finding riders the right fit by cross-referencing your information with our fit database.  

If you're not transferring measurements from a similar bike, to get completely "dialed in" for maximum performance, we recommend you see a reputable professional bike fitter that can fit you to your new bike.

To mount your OBED bike to a direct drive stationary trainer, follow these steps:

1. Shift into the bike's hardest gear

2. Remove the rear thru axle

3. Remove the rear wheel

4. Place the frame onto the direct drive trainer, ensuring the chain falls onto the cassette and the rear axle dropouts are aligned with the trainer hub end caps.

5. Reinstall the rear thru-axle and tighten.

Notes:

We recommend shifting into the hardest gear before removing the rear wheel to make it easier to remove the rear wheel and position your bike for installation on the trainer.

Mounting a bike to a direct drive trainer is very similar to installing a rear wheel. You may need to swing the rear derailleur back to direct the chain onto the cassette cogs. If you have a rear derailleur with an adjustable clutch, turn the clutch off to be able to articulate the rear derailleur.

Ensure the rear axle dropouts of the frame are aligned with the endcaps on the trainer, and that the chain is properly routed before reinstalling the rear axle and using your direct drive to prevent damage.

Ensure the rear cassette on your direct drive trainer is compatible with your bike's drivetrain to prevent damage. (E.g., you must use a 12-speed Shimano cassette with a 12-speed Shimano drivetrain and a 12-speed SRAM cassette with 12-speed SRAM drivetrains.)
