Guy Debord wrote ‘Theory of the Dérive’ in 1956. It is described as “an unplanned journey through a landscape in which participants drop their everyday relations and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.” It was a movement born out of the inclination to push ones boundaries of everyday life and explore landscapes new and engaging. It was a desire to facilitate new interactions and encounters with people and places unknown, to grow, to learn, and to be aware of more than the mundane and repetitive life within our small comfort zones that we so often encapsulate. The Viral Dérive CR is simultaneously a derivative of the Skeptic and it’s counterpoint. It is designed to take you away to far off places, see new things, have new adventures, and interact with new people. It is ready for the journey and willing to take you anywhere. The Dérive CR is a bikepackers dream and the Pinion gearbox is the perfect tool for the application. The nearly maintenance free drivetrain coupled with the oil free belt of the Gates CarbonDrive system means your adventure will be void of technical issues and allow you to concentrate on the journey at hand. The 600% gear range will get you up and over any terrain and the capable geometry will inspire confidence, loaded down with packs or out for a pack free trail ride. The Dérive CR has mounting points for three bottle locations, rear racks, fenders, and a top tube bag mount to round out it’s hauling capacity. Let the Dérive take you away and explore the new in the world around you.
