GR1ST for Julia
For this project, we set out to create a gravel bike that excels in every scenario, from long-distance bikepacking to competitive gravel racing. Equipped with 650B wheels and wide, grippy tires, it’s built for off-road adventures. Julia also swaps in a carbon 700C wheelset with narrower tires for training and faster rides. Built with a smaller rider in mind, we chose narrow handlebars, short cranks, and a comfy saddle. Paired with wireless shifting, this bike is a versatile and capable machine.
