They say

Camino is available in either a 6061 alloy or titanium franeset, catering to different budgets while maintaining essential design elements. The inclusion of SRAM and Shimano groupsets, including the latest electronic AXS XPLR, enhances its adaptability for various terrains.

During testing, they were impressed with the practicality of the external, fully housed cables, which protect against dirt and simplify maintenance. They also highlighted the bike's ability to carry heavy loads due to multiple mounting points and the strength of the frame, making it highly suitable for long, demanding trips.

The bike’s design features a slack head angle and long wheelbase, which provide stable steering and confidence on technical descents, aspects which are crucial for bikepacking where the terrain can be unpredictable and challenging.
