Description

A resilient handcrafted Reynolds 725 steel frame and carbon forks tuned for exploration ensure a super-smooth ride quality you can enjoy on any off-grid route your imagination can conjure. Built for exploring beyond the tarmac, the Gravel 725 combines SRAM Rival XPLR AXS wireless electronic shifting, dependable Mavic Allroad 1 wheels and burly 45 mm Pirelli Cinturato tyres for confident grip and stability on mixed terrain. A supportive Selle Italia Model A Superflow saddle completes a setup designed to keep you comfortable and moving smoothly wherever the route leads.

Groupset

Rival XPLR eTap AXS lets you equip your gravel bike with the most sought-after features and technologies. This 1x12-speed gear system combines a dedicated 1x specific rear derailleur with a massive 440% gear range to provide smooth gear progression as you fly up climbs and dive down descents when it's time to put the hammer down. AXS connectivity allows you to fully customise component behaviour, personalise controls, check battery status, and update firmware from one device. Rival XPLR is fully interchangeable with the entire AXS ecosystem and includes hydraulic disc brakes for powerful and predictable braking control.

Groupset

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 Pirelli Cinturato gravel tyre, which offers the ability to adapt to the terrain without compromising rolling efficiency while delivering outstanding puncture protection and grip in wet or dry conditions.

Wheelset

Handlebars

LEVEL Gravel Riser handlebars have been developed specifically for the gravel scene, with a 20mm rise offering multiple hand positions and more space on the bars for a bar bag. Flared drops provide a wider, more stable stance for improved handling and steering control when descending or navigating technical terrain. Wrapped in cushioned LEVEL bar tape for improved hand comfort and neatly matched with a LEVEL alloy stem.

Handlebars

Saddle

A lightweight and vibration-absorbing LEVEL carbon seat post paired with a well-rounded, accessible performance saddle built for riders who want reliable all-day support without unnecessary complexity. The Model A uses a neutral anatomical shape that works for a wide range of riding positions, with enough padding to take the edge off longer rides while keeping a direct, connected feel between rider and bike.
