I only have about 70 miles of 50/50 pavement/gravel on my new '17 Exile. It is also quite a bit different from the rest of the Renegade lineup. I can already tell the Lyra brakes are the weak spot, but I knew that going in with the idea of skipping the Expat's Spyres and getting something like the HY/RD's. It has been comfy and easy to ride(not tubeless yet) on some pretty rough gravel, and on the chip seal to get there. I can even see it as my only bike with another set of pavement only wheels, or maybe just switching to some good 32mm tires. I love this color, by the way.

Forgot to mention the LBS I purchased from said the Exiles have been coming in with cheap rotors so warped they just replace instead of trying to true them.
