Summary
The OPEN WI.DE. gravel bike is celebrated for its versatility, lightweight construction, and exceptional handling, making it a standout for both road and rough terrain. Its design allows for wide tire clearance, enhancing its capability on technical trails, while maintaining a sprightly and efficient ride on tarmac. However, its niche appeal and high price point may not suit all riders.

Ultimately, the Open Wi.DE is a highly tuned performance bike, but with enough fun and versatility to not take itself too seriously.
CyclistIt’s without doubt one of the fastest and most capable, and fun, gravel bikes I’ve yet tested.

Joe Cruz put the Open WI.DE. to a full test with 27.5" mountain bike knobbies in Colombia and 700C gravel tires in Vermont. Read his detailed review here.
Super quick handling very familiar from road bikes.
Buildable into a lightweight rocketship.
Refined and optimized construction from designers who have been creating top carbon bikes for over a decade.
Clearance for full on mountain bike tires for the roughest dirt and gravel roads; can go a long way beyond most gravel bikes on singletrack.
Very capable for a fast road ride or a road race with 700c wheels if you like quick handling.
A variety of bosses for cages, a gas tank bag, and a tool case under the bottom bracket.
If the WI.DE.’s sweet spot is not your primary riding niche, you probably don’t need this bike.
Notable wheel flop with 700c x 38mm tires.

Open has continued to push the boundaries of road bike design. The Wi.DE truly breaks the rules, and has fun doing it
Hugely versatile geometry
Rigid
Innovative engineering
Simply fun
Some may struggle to find terrain to warrant the max tyre size
Nov 2019 · Benjamin Topf
The OPEN WI.DE. is living the supple life on its huge 650 x 54B tires and with numerous features on offer, is fighting for gravel dominance. So let’s get to it. How does this gravel bike on steroids fare in direct comparison to the competition? Click here for an overview of the best gravel bike […]
Capable on very technical terrain
Quick acceleration
Coherent and thoughtful build
Slightly limited all-round performance in this off-road build
You’ll now have to buy both the U.P.(P.P.E.R.) and the WI.DE.

What happens when you bring a gravel bike to a mountain bike race?
Aug 2019
The brand new WI.DE (Winding Detours) gravel bike from Open takes wider tyres than the company’s original UP from 2015 and is all the better for it, with supreme speed over all sorts of surfaces, infused with great handling and low weight from the original it’s based on. But the price tag puts it off-limits for many and you can only buy it as a frameset with a choice of one colour.
