THE ULTIMATE ALL-ROUNDER
The XR 9.7 GR is built to perform across both road and gravel, now using a lighter and stiffer XR Race high-modulus carbon frame. At just 18.5 lbs, it delivers efficient power transfer with a refined balance of stiffness and compliance for speed, control, and endurance over long distances and varied terrain.
BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE
Built for serious gravel riding, the XR 9.7 GR features a Shimano GRX 12-speed drivetrain for precise shifting and a wide, usable gear range. DT Swiss GR 1600 SPLINE wheels deliver reliable performance with strong acceleration, durability, and consistent handling across mixed terrain.
MODERN GRAVEL DESIGN
Designed with current standards in mind, the XR supports up to 45mm tire clearance for added capability and comfort. The adaptable frame allows easy conversion between road and gravel setups. UDH compatibility ensures drivetrain future-readiness, while clean cable routing and integrated cockpit design deliver a streamlined, modern setup.
