About this product
The Soma New Albion Privateer is a 58cm adventure-gravel-tour-road bike from the 2025 model year, built with a steel frame for durability. It features 700C wheels with clincher tires and a comprehensive 30-speed Shimano derailleur gearing system, controlled by combined brake/shift levers. Braking is handled by a disc brake at the front and a cantilever brake at the rear. This black bike also includes a rear bike rack, making it ready for touring.
Our take
This Soma New Albion Privateer, set for the 2025 model year, looks like a workhorse for serious adventure cyclists. The steel frame, while not the lightest at 25 lbs, promises excellent durability and a comfortable ride over long distances, which is ideal for touring. The 30-speed Shimano setup provides a huge range of gears, perfect for varied topography with heavy loads. The inclusion of a rear bike rack is a smart touch for immediate utility. The mixed brake system (disc front, cantilever rear) is a bit unusual, but the combined shifters are convenient. At $1,500.00, it feels like a solid investment for its intended purpose.
