New innovative carbon gravel frame optimized for epic rides
CDuro is set to debut its latest bike frame at this year’s Bespoked Show [Dresden, 18-20 Oct 24]. Visitors can take a close-up glimpse at the prerelease gravel bike alongside the Epona Enduro mountain bike frame that was released at the beginning of the year. Although they sit almost at the opposite end of the offroad terrain spectrum, the two bikes share the common DNA of being lightweight and having high performance for endurance cycling.
The new CDuro Gravel Bike is designed specifically for long-distance adventure cycling, the frame is optimised for demanding endurance races like the Tour Divide and Adventure Gravel Tours that will take you 1000s of km. It uses the same Advanced Winding Technology and Integrated Loop Technology (ILT) that brought brand recognition to the cycling world. With this new gravel frame, CDuro offers a combination of strength, lightweight durability, and unmatched rideability—perfect for conquering the world’s toughest gravel terrains.
“We’ve developed the gravel frame with adventure cyclists in mind,” said Ondrej Uher founder of CDuro. “Whether you’re taking on rugged mountain trails or open gravel roads, this frame is engineered to optimise performance, efficiency, and rider comfort on the longest and toughest rides. It’s the ideal bike for cyclists seeking epic journeys”
CDuro’s Technological Edge: What Sets the Gravel Frame Apart
The new gravel frame utilises robot-assisted automated fibre placement, ensuring precision in every carbon joint. Integrated Loop Technology (ILT) allows for continuous fibre connections, increasing structural integrity and reducing excess material, making the frame lightweight without sacrificing strength. Riders can trust in its durability and dependability, especially in ultra-distance events.
This advanced technology mirrors the same innovative approach CDuro used in its EPONA Enduro Frame, which was launched at the beginning of 2024. The EPONA frame, designed for extreme enduro trails, has already grabbed industry attention with its disruptive approach to advanced carbon construction, giving it optimal stiffness and strength while offering outstanding ride quality.
Built for Performance and Endurance
The two frames, equipped with CDuro’s signature Integrated Loop Technology, providing continuous fibre connections for enhanced durability and strength without the need for over-laminating. This results in an incredibly lightweight frame that maintains stiffness and reliability, even in the most challenging conditions. With distinct-looking finish of the raw fibres and exoskeleton-like loops, these bikes will stand out on the trail from the conventional factory-built frames.
This year, CDuro’s newest frame will be represented by Tomas Fabian, who finished 7th in this year’s Tour Divide. As CDuro’s new ambassador, Tomas will ride the CDuro gravel frame in next year’s Tour Divide, among other epic gravel races, showcasing its capabilities over thousands of kilometres of demanding gravel terrain.
“Tomas has already taken the CDuro Gravel out on long tracks, and he’s been thoroughly impressed by its rideability and durability,” Uher says. “His feedback during these endurance rides helped us fine-tune the frame, and we’re excited to see him represent us next year in these prestigious events.”
