Overview
Is Tributary C GRX 820 the best bikepacking ebike? We think so.

And the carbon frame with our Class 5 VRS™ design soaks up road vibrations to keep you comfortable during those long days in the saddle. Carry anything from your camping gear to your #CoffeeOutside kit with Tributary’s frame and fork cargo mounts. Shift and brake smoothly with Shimano’s GRX 820 components, designed for rugged gravel road use. If you’re on the hunt for a bikepacking ebike — or just curious about the possibilities — Tributary should be on your packing list.
