The original is back! Generation three of our gravel-pioneering Grade has been redesigned with more capability than ever before. With evolved geometry, increased tire clearance, and 30mm of ‘gravel travel’ thanks to Triple Triangle™, Grade offers more control for riders focused on the fun of expedition, not the stress of competition.
FEATURES:
Gravel Travel: The Grade frame’s Triple Triangle design with floating stays offer as much as 30mm of “Gravel Travel” without rubber bumpers, pivots or mechanical features. This was achieved in part by our Dual Fiber Dynamics (DFD) located in the floating stays - a combination of low modulus, solid core, long strand glass fibers molded to an optimum shape and then wrapped in carbon for added strength and smooth transitions.
Integrated Frame Protection: Grade is just as comfortable on rough single track than it is on smooth tarmac. So, we’ve added robust frame protection on the downtube for the inevitable rock strikes and on the chainstay to safeguard against chain slap.
Suspension Fork Compatible: If the rough and chunky are your preference and you need more than Grade’s 30mm of Gravel Travel offers, add a suspension fork for even more rowdiness!
