OUR GO-ANYWHERE BELT DRIVE GRAVEL BIKE WITH DROPS
WITH THE PRIORITY APOLLO, IT'S AS SIMPLE AS RIDE, RINSE & REPEAT
The Priority Apollo is out of this world! It's the only drop bar, internally-geared, belt drive gravel bike that delivers all-road performance and durability from gravel paths to pitted city streets. No more dirt-caked cassettes or lengthy post-ride clean-up. No fear of road debris holding you back. Tackle hills, flat paths, and packed trails year-round on this stand-out bicycle that was designed to deliver an unmatched low maintenance cycling experience for commuters, adventurers, bike packers, and recreational riders.
Features
Houston... there are no problems here! Designed for high performance with a low maintenance promise, the Apollo is the first gravel grinder with an internally geared 11-speed hub belt drive and drop bar shifters. There are no derailleurs to lock up, no dirt-caked cassettes, and no chains to grease. The Apollo is our lightest and fastest multi-speed model at 24lbs—very light for an IGH—delivering stability on loose surfaces, responsive shifting, and all-conditions stopping powers. The Apollo boasts tweaks from our initial launch accommodating a lower gear for climbing and lighter overall weight. The Apollo Ti weight 23.5lbs.
Wide Gearing with Incredible Range & Durability
Get rid of the hassle of grease, grime, and tune-ups of traditional derailleurs without sacrificing performance. The Alfine 11 system offers a 409% gear range, enough to winch up steep climbs or to fly down dirt roads. With no gear overlap, the Alfine 11 system efficiently delivers power with the all-weather durability and low maintenance of an internally geared hub.
Rust/Grease-Free Gates Carbon Drive Belt
The signature feature of all Priority Bicycles—the rust and grease-free Gates Carbon Drive Belt. Using the same technology designed for motorsports, the carbon fiber tensile cord belt drive has been refined for bicycle-specific application. Where a chain requires frequent lubrication and cleaning in off-road environments or sloppy conditions, a belt drive stays efficient while lasting many times the life of a chain. Without grease, it won’t stain your hands or clothing—just give it a post-ride rinse and you’re ready for your next adventure!
INTEGRATED Shifters
Integrated braking and shifting sits on the right hand lever, allowing the familiar feel and benefits of drop handlebars.
Confident, All-Conditions Stopping Power
Light, consistent modulation, all-weather performance, and easy adjustment. The 174HUDSON cable actuated hydraulic disc brakes deliver superb braking in all riding conditions, without the complications of a full hydraulic system. Compressionless housing delivers exceptional lever feel, boosting confidence and control rounding tight turns on loose dirt and feathering in and out of traffic.
Road Rallying to Gravel Grinding
Our Apollo and Apollo Ti feature flexible, fast, and durable tires and rims. Perfect for cranking down a fire road, digging into a turn, or rallying over pitted city streets.
