Gravel biking is in vogue - and corratec's new collection shows how Bavarian engineering is responding to the growing demands of this versatile cycling discipline. The three new models cover different areas of use: from the sporty carbon racer to the everyday commuter to the electrically assisted adventure companion.
The flagship of the new series is the Allroad C1 with carbon frame. Here, corratec is focussing on a balanced mix of sportiness and touring suitability. Particularly clever: low-set seat stays and an asymmetrical chain stay are designed to ensure efficient power transmission and at the same time more comfort on rough surfaces. With space for tyres up to 45 mm wide and numerous mounting points on the frame and fork, the Allroad C1 is also suitable for longer bikepacking tours. The reinforced head tube area promises precise steering even in demanding terrain. The built-in Shimano GRX Di2 12-speed gears and hydraulic disc brakes round off the sporty package. Available in the colour Blue Grey/Copper Orange/Purple and in sizes 44 to 52 cm. Price: 4,299 euros
If you don't just want to ride your gravel bike at the weekend, the Allroad A EQ is the perfect companion. The abbreviation "EQ" stands for "Equipped" - and this is clearly evident: mudguards and lighting system are beautifully integrated into the frame design. The aluminium frame combined with the carbon fork provides a solid basis for the daily commute as well as for after-work adventures on gravel paths. The numerous mounting points enable customised equipment for longer tours. With the 10-speed Shimano GRX gears and Schwalbe G-One Overland tyres, the bike is equipped for almost any surface. Available in the colour silver/petrol and in sizes 46 to 61 cm. Price: 1,999 euros
The E-Gravel SX bridges the gap between a classic gravel bike and an e-bike. The Bosch Performance Line SX motor provides gentle and natural support - ideal for anyone who wants to have energy for longer tours after work. The slim carbon frame skilfully conceals the electric assistance. The CompactTube 400 battery is Range Extender Ready, which can significantly increase the range if required. The longer wheelbase ensures stability, even with luggage. With the SRAM APEX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes, the E-Gravel SX is at the cutting edge of technology. Available in the colours Dark Red/Dark, Blue/Graphite and in sizes 39 to 54 cm. Price: 3,999 euros
