FAQ

"What is the bike's cargo carrying weight limit?"
Maximum cargo weight of 45 lbs. Read the details of Seven's cargo carry-weight standards.

"Should I use a gravel bike for bikepacking or a bikepacking bike for gravel riding?"
All things equal, a proper bikepacking bike is more versatile than a gravel/mountain bike.

"How do I choose the right model?"
Check out our model explainer.

"Should I get the drop bar or flat bar design?"
We have no bias because we build both types. We offer both options; each design has a distinct rider fit and frame geometry.

"Should I get custom or stock?"
Check out our comparison table.

"What is Rider-Ready?"
It's sort of like a stock bike but much better.

"Does Seven offer welded frame mounts for frame bags, extra bottles, and special request placements?"
In most cases, no. Read some reasons that adding mounts is bad for frame durability.

"Why would I get a bikepacking bike from Seven? What experience do you have?"
