Almost anything goes in gravel racing and riding. It’s a mixed-up challenge of speed, endurance and handling. This high-performance all-rounder does it all. It’s smooth, it’s efficient, and it’s your new best friend for pushing limits on roads, gravel and dirt.

This high-performance all-rounder made a big splash with its 2018 debut, landing podium finishes at big-time gravel events including Grinduro and the unofficial “Gravel Worlds” in the U.S. It’s designed around a lightweight Advanced composite frameset with gravel-riding geometry, so you can tackle long, hard rides with greater control and less fatigue. A composite fork eats up bumps, and the D-Fuse seatpost and Contact XR D-Fuse handlebar absorb shocks and vibrations. The frame is integrated for disc brakes and has clearance for larger tires up to 45c so you can float through the rough stuff. Add in some clever frame details, including the X-Defender downtube protector and smart mount system for racks and accessories, and you have everything you need for your gravel adventures.

Mit dem Gravel Alu bist du allzeit gut unterwegs. Zu jeder Jahreszeit kannst du dich auf den zuverlässigen Rahmen und die Sicherheit verleihende Geometrie verlassen - egal ob du eine verschneite Schotterpiste, das nächste Matschloch oder den Weg in die Arbeit nimmst. Dank seiner Steckachse bietet er zudem überragende Steifigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit, falls du doch einmal dein erstes Cyclocross-Rennen damit bestreiten willst - Shimano"s neueste RX-Gruppe steht dir dabei ebenfalls zur Seite.
