Pinarello Granger X1

The Granger X1 is designed for long-distance gravel riding and mixed-surface exploration. Its geometry and carbon layup prioritize stability and vibration dampening, making it ideal for rough fire roads, light singletrack, and extended bikepacking trips where comfort over long hours is the priority.

Pinarello uses an asymmetric frame design to counteract the uneven forces applied to the drivetrain side of the bike while pedaling. This results in more balanced power transfer and a more stable, predictable feel when you are putting down power on steep or uneven climbs.

The Granger X1 comes stock with 700x40c Maxxis Rambler tires, which offer a great balance of speed and grip for most gravel conditions. While the frame clearance is generous, we recommend checking the specific rim width of the Fulcrum Rapid Red 900 wheels before upsizing to ensure you maintain proper tire profile and clearance.

The internal cable routing on the Granger X1 is designed for a clean aesthetic and protection from the elements. While it keeps the cockpit tidy, it does require a bit more patience during routine maintenance compared to external routing, so it is best suited for riders who are comfortable with standard hydraulic brake and drivetrain servicing.

The Onda fork is a signature Pinarello design that features a unique curvature to absorb high-frequency road vibrations before they reach your hands. This provides more precise steering and reduces fatigue on longer rides, especially when navigating technical or washboard gravel sections.

Yes, the 2x Shimano GRX 600 drivetrain is specifically geared for gravel, offering a wide enough range to handle both fast, flat sections and steep, loose climbs. The 2x setup provides smaller jumps between gears, which helps you maintain a consistent cadence regardless of the terrain.
