Super Light Gravel Carbon Frame
The Carbon Advanced Composite Super Light Gravel frame combines lightness, stiffness, and shock absorption to deliver quick responsiveness without compromising control on rough terrain. Its construction helps efficiently transfer power during accelerations while maintaining the comfort needed for long hours in the saddle.
The Carbon Advanced Composite Gravel Racing fork provides precise steering and helps filter out vibrations from the terrain. Both the frame and fork feature fully integrated cable routing for a clean look and to minimize the exposure of cables and hoses.
The set includes:
- BB86 bottom bracket.
- Flat Mount brakes.
- Fully internal cable routing.
- 12 x 100 mm front axle.
- 12 x 142 mm rear axle.
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 keeps the cables completely hidden from the rider’s position all the way into the frame.
The Cockpit 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 length and 380/430 mm width.
Shimano GRX 1x12-speed
The Shimano GRX 12-speed mechanical drivetrain offers intuitive shifting and a design tailored to the demands of Gravel riding. The single-chainring setup eliminates the front derailleur, simplifies maintenance, and makes it easier to select gears when the terrain is constantly changing.
The Shimano GRX RX822 Shadow Plus rear derailleur keeps the chain stable over uneven terrain, reducing shocks and unnecessary movement.
The 40-tooth GRX RX610 chainring is paired with a Shimano SLX M7100 10-51T cassette, providing a wide gear range to tackle everything from fast trails to steep climbs.
Crank length varies 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-modulate braking. They are paired with 160 mm Shimano RT-CL700 rotors, offering controlled response on descents, in corners, and on surfaces with varying traction.
Their Gravel-specific ergonomics promote a secure grip on the levers, providing confidence whether riding from the climbing position or the lower part of the handlebars.
Fulcrum Lite GR 2-Way Fit Ready Wheels
The Fulcrum Lite GR wheels are made of aluminum and feature an internal width of 24 mm, suitable for providing good support to modern gravel tires. Their 2-Way Fit Ready technology allows for a Tubeless setup using the appropriate components.
The Megamo hubs use 12 x 100 mm thru-axles in the front and 12 x 142 mm in the rear. This configuration offers a solid and reliable build for sport riding, training, and long-distance adventures.
Pirelli Cinturato Adventure Classic 700 x 45C
The Pirelli Cinturato Adventure Classic 700 x 45C tires provide volume, traction, and comfort on trails, roads, and mixed surfaces. The natural-colored sidewalls add a classic aesthetic that contrasts with the bike’s modern, fully integrated design.
The 45 mm width helps absorb uneven terrain and provides a wide contact patch to improve stability and confidence on Gravel rides.
Carbon Seatpost and Selle Royal Saddle
The Megamo Gravel Advanced Carbon seatpost keeps the weight down and provides controlled flex to reduce vibrations. It measures 350 mm in sizes XS and S, 400 mm in M and L, and 450 mm in XL. The Selle Royal SRX Open saddle features a design geared toward providing support and comfort during long rides, rounding out the versatile nature of this build.
