Aerodynamic speed meets 1x simplicity in the Handsling A1R0evoG Shimano GRX717 Di2 1x gravel bike.
The Handsling A1R0evoG is more than just a gravel bike – it's your ultimate companion for every ride, from challenging off-road escapades to fast-paced road adventures. Born from the DNA of our acclaimed A1R0evo and CEXevo frames, the A1R0evoG delivers a familiar, confidence-inspiring ride with an added layer of go-anywhere capability.
Engineered for Performance and Durability:
Crafted for the rough stuff, the A1R0evoG features an aerodynamic design that lets you slice through the wind while tackling the toughest trails. We've built this frame without gimmicks, focusing on pure durability and an incredibly light weight of approximately 880g (for a 52cm). This is a bike designed to last, no matter how demanding your rides get.
Unmatched Versatility:
From gravel and mud to sand and asphalt, the A1R0evoG handles it all with ease. With clearance for tyres up to 55mm, you can customise your ride for any conditions. Slap on mudguards for dry winter miles, fit big road tyres for audax events, or equip it with frame bags and racks for fast touring – the A1R0evoG adapts to your every need.
Key Frame Features for an Optimal Ride:
- Adaptable Tyre Clearance: Up to 55mm for ultimate versatility.
- Stable Geometry: Long, low, and relaxed geometry, combined with a higher headtube and stack height, ensures superior visibility and off-road positioning.
- Enhanced Traction & Stability: A tight rear triangle positions you perfectly over the rear tyre, while a low bottom bracket and relaxed headtube angle provide stability and traction on any surface.
- Efficient Power Transfer: The T47 internal BB offers a wide bottom bracket shell for exceptional stiffness and power transfer, plus easy maintenance.
- Aero-Optimised Comfort: The trademark aero-into-27.2 seattube, borrowed from the A1R0evo, maximises speed and comfort, allowing for the use of a dropper post if desired.
- Race-Proven Aerodynamics: Truncated aerofoil tube shapes, directly from the A1R0evo, deliver race-proven aerodynamic efficiency.
- Integrated Utility: Multiple hidden mudguard and rack mounts, plus a plethora of bottle cage bolt holes, make it ready for any adventure.
Experience Flawless 1x Shifting with Shimano GRX717 Di2:
Equipped with the new Shimano GRX717 Di2 electronic 1x groupset, the A1R0evoG takes your riding to the next level with simplified yet precise shifting. Benefit from WorldTour-proven wireless electronic shifting that offers a wide gear range, ensuring a comfortable cadence whether you're hammering a race, cruising country lanes, or climbing steep backcountry trails.
GRX717 1x Highlights:
- Electronic Precision: Seamless, reliable, and precise electronic shifting for every terrain.
- 1x Simplicity: A single chainring setup reduces complexity, weight, and offers intuitive shifting. Chainring options are 38t and 40t.
- Optimised Gearing: Paired with an 10-51t cassette, you'll have the range needed for any climb or sprint.
- Wireless Gravel-Specific Cockpit: Raised hoods with ribbed texture and anti-slip brake levers provide ultimate hand security, enhanced by a third Di2 button for extra control.
- E-TUBE PROJECT Customisation: Personalise shift speeds, button assignments, and shift modes via the E-TUBE PROJECT Cyclist app.
- SHADOW RD+ Technology: A convenient on/off switch for the rear derailleur makes wheel removal easy and ensures a quieter, more precise ride when engaged.
- Optimised Tyre Clearance: A wider +2.5mm chainline improves tyre clearance, allowing for your ideal setup.
- Seamless Integration: New gravel-optimised dual control levers offer a smoother transition from handlebar to hood for enhanced comfort on long rides.
Paired perfectly with some rugged gravel wheels, the Handsling A1R0evoG with GRX717 1x provides the ultimate connection between you and the road, no matter how remote or rugged.
Ready for your next ride, race, or multi-day adventure – the Handsling A1R0evoG ensures you have the right gear to get you to the finish line, worry-free.
