I ride the CEXevo at elite level cyclocross in the UK National Trophy Series. They're super light and stiff, handle well
The bike is light, which helps over cyclocross hurdles, yet stiff enough for good power transfer in differing conditions and terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn about Handsling bikes and what separates us from the competition. For questions on ordering, delivery, maintenance, and much more, go to our support centre.
What is a carbon gravel bike and how does it differ from a road bike?
A carbon gravel bike is built for versatility. While a road bike focuses on speed on smooth tarmac, a gravel bike adds stability, wider tyre clearance, and shock absorption for off-road terrain. Handsling’s carbon frame gravel bikes take the aerodynamic DNA of our road models and adapts it for mixed surfaces, so you can ride fast on tarmac and confident on gravel, mud, or sand.
Which Handsling custom gravel bike is best for me: the CEXevo or A1R0evoG?
Both of Handsling’s carbon gravel bikes share the same UK design and hand assembly, but each is engineered with a distinct riding focus.
- CEXevo: A true all-round race machine. Lightweight, tough, and incredibly agile, it’s designed to take on elite gravel events where responsiveness and handling precision are everything. Trusted in races like the Traka and the Gralloch, it thrives when conditions get rough and unpredictable.
- A1R0evoG: The aero evolution of gravel. It takes the aerodynamic shaping of our A1R0evo frame and applies it to off-road performance. With up to 55mm tyre clearance, multiple integrated mounts, and aerodynamic tube profiles, it’s built for riders who want speed on every surface.
Choose the CEXevo if you want a nimble, race-bred gravel bike, or the A1R0evoG if you want aero advantage and versatility in a fast, more adaptable package.
Is carbon fibre the standard for UK gravel bikes?
Yes. Most performance-focused UK gravel bikes now use carbon fibre frames because the material delivers the best blend of low weight, stiffness, and vibration absorption. For riders, that means faster climbing, smoother handling on rough terrain, and durability for long-distance riding. Handsling’s carbon gravel bikes take this further, with UCI-approved frames designed in Britain and assembled with the precision needed for elite racing as well as everyday adventure.
What are the advantages of a carbon gravel bike compared to titanium, aluminium or steel?
A carbon gravel bike delivers the best stiffness-to-weight ratio, making it faster to accelerate and easier to climb with. Carbon fibre also damps vibration better than metal frames, so long off-road rides feel smoother. Titanium and steel are durable but heavier, while aluminium can feel harsh on rough ground.
Are carbon fibre gravel bikes worth the investment for amateur riders?
Absolutely. Even if you’re not racing, a carbon fibre gravel bike offers clear benefits: lighter weight for easier climbing, stiffness for efficient power transfer, and smoother handling over rough ground. Handsling frames also come with a limited lifetime warranty, so your investment lasts for years of endurance rides, adventures, and daily miles.
Can carbon gravel bikes be used for bikepacking and long-distance touring?
Yes. The A1R0evoG is equipped with hidden mounts for mudguards and racks, while both models provide the tyre clearance and stability needed for bikepacking and touring. A carbon frame gravel bike combines the comfort and durability you need for long-distance touring with the efficiency to keep you moving quickly, even when fully loaded.
What makes a custom gravel bike better than a stock build?
A custom gravel bike is built around you. Unlike stock builds, where components are fixed, a Handsling custom gravel bike lets you choose everything from groupset and wheelset to finishing kit and paint. It ensures a perfect fit, optimises performance for your riding style, and creates a one-of-a-kind bike that feels truly yours.
Can I visit the Handsling workshop in Hampshire to see my gravel bike being built?
Yes. Visits to the Handsling workshop in Hampshire can be arranged by appointment. It’s an opportunity to see where your gravel bike is hand-assembled, meet the team, and discuss your build in detail. To arrange a visit, contact sales@handslingbikes.com or call 01420 612700.
