Super Light Gravel Carbon Frame
The Super Light Gravel Advanced Composite Carbon Frame offers a balanced combination of lightness, stiffness, and shock absorption. Its construction provides direct responsiveness during accelerations while maintaining the comfort needed to tackle long rides on Gravel and uneven surfaces.
The Carbon Advanced Composite Racing Gravel fork complements the frame’s performance with precise steering and a design engineered to filter out some of the vibrations from the terrain. Both the frame and fork feature fully internal cable routing.
The bike features a BB86 bottom bracket, Flat Mount brakes, and 12 x 100 mm thru-axles in the front and 12 x 142 mm thru-axles in the rear.
Fast Gravel-Oriented Geometry
The Silk’s geometry is designed to achieve a fast and efficient riding position without compromising control. In size M, it combines a 395 mm Reach and a 557 mm stack, promoting a sporty riding position to maintain high speeds on trails and roads.
Its handling balances agility and stability, providing precision in corners, quick response during changes in pace, and confidence when picking up speed on uneven terrain.
Integrated carbon Cockpit
The Carbon Gravel Racing Handlebar integrates the handlebars and stem into a single carbon structure. This design reduces the number of components, improves front-end stiffness, and hides all cables and hoses from the Cockpit to the interior of the frame.
The dimensions are tailored to each size:
- XS: 70 mm stem and 360/410 mm width.
- S: 80 mm stem and 360/410 mm width.
- M: 90 mm stem and 360/410 mm width.
- L: 100 mm stem and 380/430 mm width.
- XL: 110 mm stem and 380/430 mm width.
Shimano GRX 2x12-speed
The Shimano GRX 12-speed mechanical drivetrain is specifically designed for Gravel riding. Its double-chainring configuration provides progressive gear spacing and a wide range of gear ratios, ideal for riders who combine fast routes, road riding, and hilly terrain.
The Shimano GRX RX820 Shadow Plus rear derailleur stabilizes the chain on uneven terrain, reducing movement and impacts against the frame. The GRX RX820 front derailleur shifts between chainrings precisely and reliably.
The Shimano GRX RX610 crankset features 46/30-tooth chainrings, paired with a Shimano HG710 11-36T cassette. This gear range offers close-ratio gears to maintain a steady cadence and a sufficiently low gear ratio to tackle steep climbs.
Crankset length by size: XS: 165 mm; S: 170 mm; M and L: 172.5 mm; XL: 175 mm.
Shimano GRX Hydraulic Brakes
The Shimano GRX RX610 hydraulic brakes provide powerful, progressive, and easy-to-control stopping power. They are paired with 160 mm Shimano RT-CL700 rotors, delivering consistent braking performance on descents, fast corners, and surfaces with varying traction.
The ergonomics of the GRX levers are specifically tailored for Gravel riding, promoting a secure grip and precise control from both the climbing position and the lower part of the handlebars.
Fulcrum Lite GR Wheels
The Fulcrum Lite GR wheels are made of aluminum and feature an internal width of 24 mm, suitable for providing good support for wide gravel tires. Their 2-Way Fit Ready technology allows them to be converted to Tubeless using compatible tape, valves, and sealant.
Fulcrum hubs feature sealed cartridge bearings and 12 x 100 mm thru-axles in the front and 12 x 142 mm in the rear, ensuring reliable performance and protection against dust and moisture.
Pirelli Cinturato Adventure Classic Tires
The Pirelli Cinturato Adventure Classic 700 x 45C tires offer volume, grip, and comfort on trails, roads, and mixed surfaces. The 45 mm width helps absorb bumps and provides a wide contact patch to improve stability. Their natural-colored sidewalls add a classic aesthetic to the bike, contrasting with its modern lines and seamless integration.
Carbon Seatpost and Selle Royal Saddle
The Megamo Gravel Advanced Carbon seatpost keeps weight down and provides controlled flex to reduce some of the vibrations transmitted from the terrain. It measures 350 mm on sizes XS and S, 400 mm on M and L, and 450 mm on XL. The Selle Royal SRX Open saddle completes the setup with a design intended to offer support and comfort during long rides.
