Perfect for both on and off-road. KING GAVEL's Frame Design

The frame, made of aluminum 6061, is a classic specification that strikes a balance between ease of handling and durability. It's an easy choice for a first sports bike and offers a material feel that will last for a long time.

The geometry is designed with Japan's paved road conditions firmly in mind, rather than the wild gravel of overseas brands.

It sacrifices neither the agility on paved roads nor the off-road capability for unpaved paths—a "realistic gravel image" brought to life.

The more you pedal, the better it feels. Chainstays designed for propulsion.

The horizontally flattened chainstays suppress twisting during pedaling, efficiently transferring power forward without loss.

It has less of the "heaviness" or "sluggishness" often found in gravel road bikes, and the feeling of effortlessly picking up speed on paved roads is impressive.

Wide range of position adjustment, beginner-friendly design

While the head tube is somewhat short, there's ample steerer tube length, allowing for position adjustment from upright to a more aggressive forward lean.

Starting with a comfortable posture and becoming more sporty as you get used to it is one of this bike's strengths, allowing it to adapt as you progress.

Internal cable routing provides a clean look. ◎

Carbon fork absorbs vibrations for confident handling.

The fork features a carbon fork with an aluminum steerer. It's not as extreme as full carbon, emphasizing rigidity and ease of handling.

The handlebars remain stable even on rough roads, allowing beginners to control the gravel bike with confidence.

Built to carry. Gravel-like expandability is also well secured.

With bolt mounts located in various places on the frame, there's ample freedom for attaching racks and bottle cages.

From commuting to touring and camp rides, there's room to "grow" the bike according to your needs.

A striking silver and black gradient

While predominantly silver, the gradation smoothly transitions to black towards the rear, resulting in an elegant finish that avoids appearing too light.

It's not overly flashy, yet still distinctive. This coloring is likely to remain appealing even after long ownership.

A frame that naturally bridges daily life and adventure.

It's a design that doesn't lean too heavily into speed, stability, or carrying capacity, but rather balances all of them well.

As a first gravel road bike, it's a "hard-to-fail choice" that you can confidently select.

Shimano GRX mix 1x11. A straightforward and usable setup.

Featuring a 1x11 setup combining GRX 400, 600, and 800 series. While not the latest generation, its performance is more than sufficient for practical use.

The reliability of its shifting and minimal trouble can actually be described as "a level of completeness that instills confidence in its use."

New versions of the GRX 600 and 800 series have already been announced, and the KING GAVEL uses the older models.

Even though it's an older model, the performance is perfectly adequate for enjoying gravel riding. ◎

Thru-axle x hydraulic disc for confident braking.

With flat-mount hydraulic disc brakes and front and rear thru-axles, you'll rarely feel anxious about braking power, even on rough roads or in wet conditions.

38c tires x tubeless-ready wheels provide ample off-road capability.

The wheels are NESTO's original tubeless-ready wheels.

Equipped with 700x38c gravel tires and tubeless-ready wheels. While it comes standard with tubes, it's ready for future upgrades.

Start with tubes, then transition to tubeless when you're ready. The ability to step up is also a major attraction.

Wide flare handlebars for increased stability on rough terrain.

The flared drop handlebars, which spread outwards, provide excellent stability when holding the drops.

Even gravel beginners can confidently choose their line without fear.

Gravel riding is fun on paved roads. KING GAVEL's real-world impression.

Its road-oriented agility makes it perfect for everyday use.

The riding impression is more "road-oriented" than "gravel-specific." The more paved roads you encounter in your daily life, the more you'll appreciate this agility.

It's an excellent model for those who primarily use it for daily commutes and cycling, with occasional ventures onto forest roads, rural paths, or riverbanks!

Not too heavy, so it doesn't feel daunting for everyday use.

It's not as heavy-duty as a pure gravel bike, nor as finicky as a road bike.

Being in between makes it a bike you'll naturally find yourself using more often for daily rides.

A "best of both worlds" between road and gravel.

The KING GAVEL incorporates a design and specifications that are easy for beginners to handle, while still possessing the performance to fully enjoy Japan's diverse terrain.

It can be said to be a very capable model positioned right between an all-road bike and a gravel road bike.

Considering the price, it feels like a "very complete bike."
