We’ve been wowed repeatedly by OPEN’s releases, whether it’s their interpretation of what a gravel bike should be, or their definition of no-detail is too small, or simply how they seem to keep everything as classy as ever.

While everyone is busy launching new gravel rigs these days, OPEN goes a different direction: a road bike. The new Open MIN.D., which stands for Minimal Design, is one sleek machine highlighted by an integrated seattube designed for comfort.

Since it’s an OPEN, you can pretty much assume it will be light. At 870 grams painted in size medium along with a 335 gram uncut (!) disc fork, you bet ya we want one so so bad. Pre-order is open today, with frames shipping before July 20th.
