Highlights
Outing Highlights
A lightweight, capable gravel rig
The GRAVEL Large pairs an aluminum SmartForm C2 frame with a full carbon fork, Shimano GRX 800/600 11-speed drivetrain, WTB ST i23 rims and 700x37c WTB Riddler tires — a build tuned for tracks, forest routes and long days on mixed surfaces.
Made for the Camino
Gravel geometry and tire clearance mean riders can take the Camino’s service tracks and rural lanes with greater comfort and control than a road bike, making it a versatile choice for pilgrims and route-seekers alike.
Delivery, support and insurance options
Rentals include transport of the bike to the start of your route and assistance along the way; optional assistance/insurance covers medical transfer, baggage recovery and search-and-rescue benefits up to specified limits.
