Refugio Select Gravel Bike

The Refugio Select embodies the spirit of adventure and challenge, drawing inspiration from the rugged, winding terrain of Refugio Road in Santa Barbara, CA, home of Stinner Frameworks. It is designed for versatility and endurance, thriving on all surfaces, from steep climbs to rough descents.

Now available as part of the Stiner Select line, the Columbus Zona/Life tubing blend offers a responsive and smooth ride, built to handle even the most challenging routes. Every Refugio Select is fabricated, painted, and assembled in Santa Barbara, CA, with clearance for 50 mm tires, UDH compatibility, and a component package prioritizing reliability and serviceability.

Some notable integers are the healthy stack numbers and a size-specific geometry. Each size Refugio Select is meant to optimize the ride quality for its owner, no matter their frame size.
