Italian bike brand Pinarello has unveiled the Grevil MX, a new, targeted addition to its popular gravel range, engineered to conquer terrain beyond the limits of traditional gravel bikes.
According to Pinarello, the Grevil MX combines the aerodynamic efficiency of a road bike with the stability and control of a MTB, enabling it to excel on steep climbs, rugged trails, technical descents and long endurance routes without compromising responsiveness or stiffness on hardpack ground.
Its geometry uses the same head angle (67.75°) and trail (101mm) of the hardtail Dogma XC and pairs it with the MOST Talon Ultra Light cockpit found on Pinarello’s flagship road bikes. According to Pinarello, this is to enable a lower, more compact and faster position. The inclusion of a front suspension fork adds further comfort, providing a combination that delivers superior performance across vastly different terrains.
Best of both worlds?
The Grevil MX frame is constructed from “best-in-class” Toray M40J carbon fibre and features fully integrated TiCR cable routing and a threaded BB. The BB area comprises an ultra-stiff triangular structure, while the rear triangle incorporates Pinarello’s patented asymmetric design, with the left side structurally reinforced to counterbalance the higher loads generated on the drivetrain side. This architecture creates more balanced energy transfer and improved traction and acceleration on loose or variable surfaces.
The chainstays and seatstays have both been specifically shaped and reinforced to withstand the high torsional forces typical of aggressive gravel riding, steep off-road climbs and explosive accelerations.
The Grevil MX is optimised for 50mm gravel tyres, achieving an optimal blend of traction and fatigue reduction, while the 100mm suspension fork provides the best weight to comfort solution. The 38T–10/52 transmission system delivers significantly better climbing ability than standard gravel chainsets and improved descending cadence than regular MTB setups.
Pinarello President Fausto Pinarello said: “The Grevil MX is designed for riders who push gravel beyond its typical boundaries. It’s a very versatile bike, perfectly suited for races or adventures where you’re riding into the unknown. It can handle long climbs and rocky descents with ease and combines the feeling of a MTB with the ergonomics of a road bike. It’s a unique addition to our gravel range.”
