Sword Black is a wide‑range 2x9 gravel drivetrain built for real‑world riding—long days, rough roads, and Bakersfield dust. It gives you low gears for climbing, enough top‑end for pavement, and a hood shape that keeps your hands locked in when the terrain gets rowdy.

Why it matters
The fully mechanical design means no batteries, no firmware, and no surprises. Just clean cable actuation that’s easy to tune, easy to service, and easy to trust whether you’re wrenching at home or out on the road.

Who it’s for
Riders who want reliable shifting, simple maintenance, and a gear range that handles everything from Hart Park climbs to long Canal Path spins. Perfect for budget‑friendly gravel builds or refreshing an older bike with modern ergonomics.

Grizzly’s Take
Sword Black is the kind of groupset we love—honest, durable, and built for the way people actually ride around here. No nonsense, no over‑complication, just smooth shifting and dependable performance on every dusty mile.
