GRAVEL
ROAD
With the Grevil MX, Pinarello keeps evolving its take on gravel. This model clearly straddles the line between fast gravel and modern cross-country, with a build squarely focused on performance and racing. The MY26 Grevil MX SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS version, shown here in a Midnight Blue livery, underlines this uncompromising approach, from frame to spec.
🚀 In brief:
Toray M40J carbon frame with an ultra-rigid triangular structure around a 73 mm BSA bottom bracket.
Patented asymmetric design on the rear triangle, claimed to improve power transfer, traction and high-speed stability.
Fully integrated cable routing via the TiCR system, compatible with wireless electronic groupsets.
Note: this version is offered in limited availability, reserved for retailers who took part in a specific brand initiative.
The Grevil MX frame is built from Toray M40J carbon, a material Pinarello reserves for its most demanding models. The stated objective is clear: maximise stiffness, particularly at the bottom bracket and the rear end, while maintaining precise handling at high speed.
Pinarello highlights an ultra-rigid triangular structure around the bottom bracket. It uses the 73 mm BSA standard, with oversized bearings and a widened junction area where it meets the rear triangle. This architecture aims to limit any deformation under load, particularly during hard accelerations.
The Grevil MX adopts one of the brand’s hallmark technical features: the patented asymmetric design.
On the rear triangle, the left side is deliberately reinforced to counterbalance the stresses generated by the drivetrain on the right. According to Pinarello, this approach allows a more even distribution of forces, resulting in better power transfer, improved traction and enhanced stability at high speed.
This asymmetry is also visible on the chainstays and seatstays, designed to handle the hard accelerations typical of the most demanding gravel race formats.
The Grevil MX adopts the TiCR (Total Internal Cable Routing) system, a fully integrated cable-routing solution that has become a standard at Pinarello.
Compatible with wireless electronic groupsets such as SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS, TiCR hides all hoses and lines within the cockpit and frame. The benefit is twofold: greater protection of components and an aerodynamic gain, even if the latter remains secondary in off-road oriented gravel riding.
The Grevil MX geometry confirms its performance focus. The relatively slack angles up front, combined with a generous wheelbase, suggest a bike designed to remain stable at high speed, especially on fast or rough terrain.
The SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS version of the Grevil MX leaves little room for doubt about its positioning.
With the Grevil MX, Pinarello continues to deliberately blur the lines between gravel and cross-country. The choice of 100 mm suspension, an XX SL Eagle drivetrain and very stable geometry confirms a clearly competitive orientation.
This very specific positioning will appeal to riders focused on pure performance on technical terrain, but may leave aside those looking for a more accessible or more adventure-oriented gravel bike. As is often the case with Pinarello, the proposition is coherent and unapologetic… And clearly not for everyone.
