Wheelset

Designed to enhance the ride-anywhere attitude of any gravel machine, Mavic’s gravel-dedicated Allroad 1 Disc wheels give you the confidence to tackle the toughest terrains with smooth control. Paired with a tyre designed to adapt to varied terrain, Pirelli’s Cinturato Gravel tyre features a reinforced tubeless-ready carcass, and enhanced puncture protection to resist lateral cuts and foreign object penetration. Tightly packed knobs provide grip when you need it and speed when you don’t.

Handlebars

LEVEL Gravel Riser handlebars were developed with gravel riding in mind; a 20mm rise provides multiple hand positions and more space on the bars when running a barbag. Flared drops ensure a wider, more stable stance to improve handling and control when descending or tackling technical terrain. A comfortably padded LEVEL bar tape and matching LEVEL handlebar stem complete this lightweight and versatile ensemble.

Saddle

A superlight and aerodynamic SL Carbon seat post paired with a Selle Italia X3 saddle provides riders with the outstanding comfort and support they need to explore every gravel backroad, trail, or flowy singletrack.
