All-new progressive geometry is quick and nimble yet keeps you stable and in control on fast, choppy descents
This bike is exceedingly versatile and suited to a wide variety of ride styles, including gravel rides, bikepacking, and daily commutes
Massive tire clearance means you can use tires up to 45c for extra traction and stability in any conditions
Integrated frame bag mounts and rack and fender mounts make it easy to carry gear and water
New progressive geometry
For quick, nimble handling that still keeps you stable and in control on rougher descents.
Tire clearance
Lots of clearance means you can run meatier tires (700x45mm or 27.5x2.1") for tackling chunkier gravel and terrain.
Tons of mounts
Integrated frame bag and fender mounts make it easy to carry gear and water.
Shimano GRX
Shimano GRX was designed from the ground up for gravel adventure. With its gravel-specific ergonomics, optimized gearing options, rugged reliability, and quiet, stable drivetrain, GRX sets itself apart from the rest of the component world.
Don’t forget your pedals
This bike doesn’t come with pedals because you’ll have a better time on your new bike if you choose your own. See the pedal guide to find the best pedals for your riding style.
