Sixpack Racing, known for its high-quality mountain bike components based near Ravensburg, is expanding its range with a new gravel series. This series was developed to meet the needs of gravel bikers who are travelling both on and off the road. The product line includes handlebars, stems, seatposts and other accessories that, according to the manufacturer, are designed for durability and performance. The Sixpack Gravel Series is now available from selected specialist retailers and online.
Sixpack gravel handlebars for comfort and control
The new gravel handlebars from Sixpack are available in aluminium (AL) and carbon (CF). The aluminium handlebars have an 8° backsweep and 16° flare, which should enable a natural hand position and better control on rough trails. With widths from 400 to 460 mm and a weight of 355 g (at 420 mm), it offers a more cost-effective option with a price of 64.95 euros.
The carbon handlebars from the Ravensburgers, on the other hand, offer a specially developed carbon layup, which, according to the manufacturer, is intended to offer improved vibration damping in the upper area and at the same time stiffness in the grip areas. With 7.5° backsweep, 18° flare and, in contrast to the AL, a rise of 11 mm. Widths of 420 and 440 mm are available and it weighs 235 g (at 420 mm). This makes the carbon gravel handlebar ideal for demanding terrain, for 249.95 euros.
Stems and front mounts for a clean cockpit
Sixpack offers two stem models: the standard Gravel stem and the Gravel ICR stem with semi-integrated cable routing. Both models combine a slim design with an angle of +-7° and allow easy access to cables. The Standard Gravel stem is available in lengths from 70 to 100 mm and costs 69.95 euros.
The Gravel ICR stem from Sixpack, developed in collaboration with the Acros people, offers special split spacers for easy height adjustment and is available on the market for 89.95 euros.
The proprietary front mounts are attached directly to the front plate of the Gravel stem and are compatible with Garmin, Wahoo, GoPro and Light Mount devices. The adjustable angle of the mount conveniently prevents glare from the sun on the display.
Seatpost and handlebar tape for more comfort
The CF gravel seatpost from Upper Swabia is made of monocoque carbon and is designed to reduce vibrations while remaining robust enough for use on and off the road. It has no offset (offset of the seat clamp to the rear), a diameter of 27.2 mm and is available in lengths of 300, 350 and 400 mm. The Sixpack seatpost weighs 192 g (at 350 mm length) and is available for 159.95 euros.
The gravel handlebar tape from Sixpack was also developed to increase comfort on long rides. With a thickness of 3 mm, it is designed to offer the optimum mix of comfort and control. According to the manufacturer, the dotted, textured surface ensures excellent grip, even in wet or muddy conditions. The gravel handlebar tape from Sixpack costs 29.95 euros.
