GT was arguably one of the driving forces behind the gravel bike concept, and this Grade Carbon X showcases where the genre is headed. With 45mm tyre clearance, a suspension fork and a dropper post, it’s snapping at the heels of hardtail mountain bikes while maintaining its roadie roots of being light, nimble, and one hell of a lot of fun to ride.
