Pinarello launches the gravel mountain bike
Technically, the Grevil MX is positioned between a road bike and a mountain bike. It combines the aerodynamic efficiency of a road bike with the stability and control of a hardtail MTB. The basis for this is a progressive geometry based on the XC dogma: A slack steering angle of 67.75 degrees and a long trail ensure a smooth ride and control, while the MOST Talon Ultra Light cockpit enables a compact, sporty riding position. The concept is complemented by a 100 millimeter suspension fork, which increases comfort and safety on rough surfaces.
The frame is made of high-quality Toray M40J carbon and features fully integrated cable routing and a bolted bottom bracket. Pinarello remains true to its asymmetrical frame design to better balance drive forces and improve traction and acceleration on loose terrain. Reinforced chainstays and seat stays are designed to withstand the high torsional loads that occur during aggressive gravel use.
The Grevil MX is designed for 50 millimeter wide gravel tires. In combination with the SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS 1x12 drivetrain, the bike offers a particularly wide gear range for steep climbs and high downhill control. The complete bike weighs around 9.04 kilograms in size M.
Pinarello President Fausto Pinarello describes the Grevil MX as a versatile platform for racing and adventures off the beaten track. The bike is optionally compatible with a dropper seat post and a more MTB-oriented cockpit. The model is available in four sizes, costs 8,500 euros and will initially be available in 28 European countries and South Africa. The Grevil MX will be on public display for the first time at the Velofollies trade fair in Kortrijk.
