For 2025 we’re stretching those legs, dusting off the lycra and hitting the (gravel) roads. When considering our first gravel bike, first and foremost, we wanted to deliver one bike that could cut it on the road or off-road equally. Although most people might have expected a dropped bar mountain bike style from us, when we looked at what we actually ride when it comes to our gravel bikes (and we do ride a lot of gravel here at the factory), we found it was a mix of road and off-road in equal measures, and the common thread was always the distance. Gravel rides are generally long, and gravel racing even longer. 60−200km is the norm not the exception.
With that in mind the new Aerelon straddles the all road and gravel categories of bikes when it comes to geometry. We’ve set the trail at a neutral number for handling and a compact wheelbase thats sharp enough on the road, without feeling dangerous off. Generous stack heights pair with modest reach numbers for a comfy ride thats not too stretched out and a solid weight distribution for descending. Ultra versatile mounts are plentiful, so you can load, or just go, but whichever you choose the Aerelon is dependable, comfy and fast.
With 5 launch sizes for initial launch and 3 more sizes more planned we’re covering all bases right down to a youth focused 650b.
