The production of the C68 gravel, being part of the C Series range, is undertaken exclusively in Italy, by skilled and experienced craftsmen. The knowledge gained from years of experience in frame construction is brought into the gravel segment.In the world of gravel cycling, precision is paramount. The C68 Gravel has different geometry than its road counterpart, the C68 Road, to achieve the perfect balance of compliance and performance, on any type of terrain, even on a rugged terrain.
Hence, it comes with a shorter reach and higher stack than the C68 Road, offering an optimal handling and setting, perfectly poised for challenging landscapes, while maintaining an overall aggressive setting.
C68 Gravel will be available in 5 sizes, all in sloping configuration: 450 - 480 - 510 - 540 - 570
Available in two colours - HGGR - Satin Green and HGBK - Gloss Black
The geometry has been reviewed with respect to the G3-X, which is a racing-oriented gravel bike, with the main purpose of improving the stability and allowing the smoothest riding experience across all surfaces.
The C68 Gravel offers an extensive tire clearance that accommodates wheel widths up to 45mm (real tire width), in line with the fast gravel bikes standards. Thanks to this flexibility, your journey, whether on a dirt road or an off-road trail, will have no boundaries.
Tyres up to 42 mm
It can accommodate tyres up to a nominal width of 42 mm. The choice to go no further is deliberate: the C68 Gravel is a fast, precise, snappy bike. A wider clearance would have changed its riding properties.

Compatible with suspension forks
The C68 Gravel is specified with a rigid fork and CC.01 Wide handlebar. However, the frame is designed to offer a wide range of add-ons, in particular for different handlebars and suspension fork.
Bolder Gravel geometries
