Origin
The Gate is one of Kellys' core cross-country hardtails — a sporty, accessible aluminium platform built on the Dynamic RRC (Race Ready Concept) frame. It spans a wide range of builds, from coil-fork entry models to air-sprung SLX-equipped versions, all sharing Boost spacing and modern XC geometry. A staple all-rounder for the brand.
