Gravel Bike

- Pinarello is adding five new colours to the Grevil F series without making any changes to the frame design or spec.  
- There are now a total of eight colour options available across the five Grevil F models; availability varies depending on the model.  
- The Grevil F is designed for long-distance gravel riding, featuring Race Geometry+, an integrated cockpit and storage solutions for bags and tools.

- The Avona Callis 32 features 32-inch wheels, which, according to laboratory and field tests, are said to offer a measurably faster and safer ride despite their aerodynamic drawbacks.  
- Measurements show, depending on the surface, a power saving of 8 W at 20 km/h and 12–13 W at 35 km/h compared with smaller wheel sizes fitted with the same tyres.  
- Special geometry, a lightweight aero carbon frameset and proprietary 32-inch Faserwerk wheels are designed to offer riders from approximately 164 cm in height a sporty yet stable gravel bike.

- Axess Creed CF Pro: an affordable gravel bike with a carbon frame, balanced geometry and a double chainring, positioned as a price-breaker.
- A solid, stiff and comfortable Chinese-made frame, but weighing nearly 10 kg, with cost-saving measures in the cable routing, seatpost clamp and brake discs.
- Riding characteristics are well-balanced on roads, fields and gravel tracks; can also handle rough terrain; 50 mm tyres can be fitted as an aftermarket upgrade for greater comfort.

- Gravel bikes allow for the highest average speeds over the 31-km commute, with race gravel bikes leading the way.  
- Speed isn’t the only deciding factor: safety, comfort, posture and fatigue all have a significant influence on the choice of bike for commuting.  
- Aerodynamics offer significant advantages from around 20–25 km/h, but poor road conditions, carrying luggage and everyday clothing put the emphasis on practicality rather than racing performance.

- DT Swiss offers the F 132 and F 132 One gravel air suspension forks with 40 mm of travel, a 435 mm stanchion height and three fork offset options.  
- The F 132 uses Openflow damping without lockout or rebound adjustment, whilst the F 132 One features Plaingain with 9-click rebound adjustment and handlebar-operated lockout.  
- Both forks: 700C, up to 50 mm tyres, Flatmount, 12×100 mm axle, bikepacking option, e-bike approval, system weight up to 130 kg.

- Dutech, based in Singapore, is taking over Accell’s Dutch brands, such as Batavus, Koga and Carqon, as well as its Hungarian production facility.
- Dutech is specifically acquiring assets of value, free of debt and liabilities, in a similar manner to its previous acquisition of the insolvent Prophete Group.
- The German Accell companies are under self-administration; around 370 employees are anxious about their long-term future, despite receiving insolvency payments.

- Carbon gravel bikes combine low weight with comfort, tyre clearance, storage compartments and mounting points for everyday use, training and adventure.  
- Tyre clearance, a suitable riding position, light gearing and plenty of mounting points are more important for adventure riding than sheer lightness or frame material.  
- The Mondraker Arid, KTM Gravelator Pro 2X, Scott Addict Gravel and Van Rysel EDR-G each prioritise storage, gear systems and versatility in different ways.

- Aerodynamic drag increases disproportionately with speed and, from around 30–40 km/h, dominates all other braking forces.
- Key factors for low drag include a small effective frontal area (CdA), a streamlined riding position and the rider, who is the most significant influencing factor.
- Aerodynamics encompasses flow management, controlled turbulence and crosswind behaviour; design is a compromise between drag, stability and handling.

- Race gravel bikes in 2027 combine speed with greater tyre clearance; up to 58 mm allows for adaptation to rough, muddy or fast routes.  
- Manufacturers are taking different approaches to aerodynamics, integration and cockpit designs to cater for different target groups and usage profiles.  
- Electronic 1×13 drivetrains dominate, but 2-speed options and MTB cassettes show that gear range and overall design are key factors in the purchasing decision.

- Road bikes and gravel bikes are growing in several EU markets, whilst the overall market, e-bikes and mountain bikes are, in some cases, in sharp decline.  
- Gravel bikes are benefiting from their versatility, simple technology and wide range of uses, and are in some cases replacing trekking bikes, MTBs and endurance road bikes.  
- In some cases, this trend is merely causing a shift within the market, but it is opening up opportunities for brands, whilst many customers are opting to repair their bikes rather than buy new ones.
