It’s here! Wow, what a change from my Pathlite:ON 4 that literally weighs more than twice as much.
Some adjustments to make and a few parts to get but I love it!
Would love some advice on the following if you have any ideas!
- Slightly wider handlebars
- New pedals, aluminum or nylon?
- Gravel tires
- Rain / mud fenders compatible with bigger tires
- Comfier seat
Happy guy ☺️

1st rule of bike pics: Drive side photos.
Is that the 2025 model or an older one?
If older, the biggest tire would be 32mm. I run Panaracer GravelKing SS and love them. I was able to fit 35mm + SKS fenders on a Roadlite, but it took some fiddling/custom work.
Any handlebar will work, as it’s a standard size, just pick one.
I run aluminum quick release pedals on mine.
I have the Portland Design Works Fenders. You may can still get them cheap, otherwise go with SKS.
Saddle is a personal choice, so hard to say.
Here’s my RL 4 with PDW

Here’s my RL 5 with 35mm Panarace X1 and SKS AL 45s.
