Wabi Urban/Cross Thunder
The Wabi Thunder is a versatile build that can go Urban or Cross/Gravel. Using our Thunder frameset and wheelset, it takes wide tires (up to 50mm), lots of fender/rack options and a serious beating--all at under 20 lbs.
The new Fall colors are Liquid Clay, a dark glossy warm gray, and Glass Gray, a glossy medium gray with a hint of green. Custom colors are also an option below (with the $250 upgrade included). Images provided are mockups and final color may vary slightly.

PART NOTE: We've combined the product page for the Urban Thunder and Cross. Find options specific to each model in the dropdown menus. We are out of our CX/Urban wheelset so can only offer the build with a tubeless compatible Velocity A23 wheelsets (similar specs to our stock set but with nicer rims) as a $60 upgrade.

FAQ/IMPORTANT LINKS
Check out our FAQ/Knowledge Base for most questions.
Assembly. Note that our bikes come 90%+ assembled and most customers can do the final assembly themselves. This saves you the time and cost of taking the bike to a bike shop for assembly.
Upgrade options explained. This will help explain the upgrades in the dropdown menus and well as other options that are not on the menu.
Steel
We use Reynolds 725 and Columbus Spirit. These higher quality grades of steel allows us to use less of it, so you get a lighter, more responsive frame.
E.D Coating
Our steel frames are E.D. coated to act as a rust preventative and a primer. This high-performance rust inhibitor is applied inside the frame and out.
design
Wabi frames are road-designed with upright angles, and short wheelbases, which creates comfort, efficiency, and predictable handling. Our road frame design gives you an agile and fast ride.
Details
We love the detail of our frames. You'll find cast-brazed dropouts, machined head tubes, brazed seatpost collars, bottle cage eyelets, and brazed forks.
