Description
Grade Carbon Elite
An inventive bike should go with an innovative ride. With our entry-level carbon gravel bike, shift gears and discover new off-road experiences. fully fitted with brakes and a Shimano GRX 400 drivetrain.
Gravel Travel
Without rubber bumpers, pivots, or other mechanical components, the Triple Triangle design of the Grade frame with floating stays allows for up to 30mm of “Gravel Travel.” This was made possible in part by our Dual Fiber Dynamics (DFD), which are found in the floating stays and are made up of long strand glass fibers with a solid core and low modulus that are molded to the ideal shape before being wrapped in carbon for smooth transitions and enhanced strength.
Integrated Frame Protection
On uneven single track, grade is as comfortable as it is on flat asphalt. Therefore, we have strengthened the frame protection on the chainstay to prevent chain slap and on the downtube to withstand the inevitable rock hits.
Suspension fork compatible
Add a suspension fork for even more raucous behavior if you love rough and chunky and require more than Grade’s 30mm of gravel travel provides.
