MY26 Grevil F5 - Rival AXS - Most Gravel Carbone 45

The saddle and handlebar setup felt dialed in from the first ride, and the frame's stiffness really translates on punchy climbs. Even on a rough gravel stretch, the carbon layup absorbed the chatter without feeling dead. I've already got three centuries planned on it this month.

Took this out for a long weekend of mixed dirt and pavement, and the lighter frame really shows on the climbs—it feels quicker than my old gravel bike right out of the gate. The 45mm tires soak up rough sections without slowing me down, and I stayed comfortable even after six hours in the saddle.
