Conway GRV 1000 Carbon

The "GRV 1000 Carbon" model from Conway, released in 2021, is a high-quality gravel bike that stands out for its technical features and attractive design. The frame is made of carbon, which not only gives the bike a lightweight construction but also ensures high stability. The maximum rider weight is 130 kg, making it suitable for a wide range of riders and uses.

The braking system is fitted with SHIMANO “GRX BR-RX400” brakes, which ensure reliable stopping power. The SHIMANO “GRX ST-RX600” brake levers offer precise control, whilst the SHIMANO “SM-RT70” brake discs, with a diameter of 160 mm at both the front and rear, ensure consistent braking performance. The derailleur system consists of a SHIMANO “GRX RD-RX810” 11-speed rear derailleur, combined with SHIMANO “GRX ST-RX600” shift levers. The SHIMANO “GRX FD-RX810” front derailleur and the SHIMANO “GRX FC-RX600 11” crankset with 30/46 teeth allow for versatile gear selection, supported by the SHIMANO "CS-HG700" with 11–34 teeth.

The specification is complemented by a full-carbon fork called CARBON "DU", which provides additional damping and control. The SHIMANO “BB-71” Press-Fit bottom bracket contributes to the drivetrain’s efficiency. The EASTON “EA50 AX” handlebars and the EASTON “EA50” stem provide a comfortable and stable base for controlling the bike. The DT SWISS “G1800 Spline” rims and SCHWALBE “G-One Allround classic” tyres in size 700 x 40 ensure balanced handling on a variety of surfaces. The DT SWISS “G1800” hubs, measuring 12 x 100 mm at the front and 12 x 142 mm at the rear, together with the DT SWISS spokes, complete the wheelset.

The CONWAY “1489 super light” saddle and the EASTON “EA50” seatpost (27.2 mm) offer comfort and lightness for longer rides. Priced at 2499 EUR, the GRV 1000 Carbon from Conway offers excellent value for money for discerning gravel riders who prioritise quality and performance.
