Our Curve shipment is on the way! Due In May 2024.
We Say...
We are proud to be a Curve dealer in the U.K! We like how Curve straddle the line between party and race, a brand that has riding fast in its DNA, but with equal parts adventure and fun thrown in too.
The Kevin is a straight up performance gravel bike with big tyre clearance and super well thought out features that could only have come from a group of people that like to adventure!
They Say...
Italian Steel -
The main frame triangle is comprised of Italian-made double-butted Columbus Zona tubing. Zona allows for the ideal compromise between weight, strength and life of the frame.
Two Bikes In One -
The GXR's carbon fork, the Ride 400, has clearance for wheel options based on your riding style. For example, Kevin can run either 700c wheels with 32–45 mm tyres, best suited for commuting, gravel, and cyclocross, or if you’re looking to tackle some rougher terrain with more traction, use 650b (27.5”) wheels fitted with 1.8–2.2” tyres. Curve has the above wheel options in both carbon and aluminium available.
Big Tyre Clearance -
The custom 4130 steel yoke design allows Kevin to run wide gravel tyres in two wheel sizes without tyre rub. Up to 45mm for 700c, and around 2.2"/55mm for 27.5"/650b. Clearance may vary depending on your choice of tyre tread.
Ready For Adventure -
Kevin comes equipped with rear rack mounts, fender mounts, and 3 x bidon mounts; and can run either a 1x or 2x* drivetrain. Kevin is ready for light single or multi-day bikepacking adventures thanks to generous tyre clearance and balanced geometry that produces a stable riding platform.
Want to Carry More?
With a wide range of frame and fork mounted rack systems on the market, and with more appearing every week, it is important to understand which rack systems are compatible with your Curve frame and fork, and how to mount them correctly in order to ensure safe riding, avoid damage and voiding your warranty. Before mounting a rack, we strongly recommend you get in touch with us to confirm compatibility and the correct mounting procedure. This will minimise the risk of injury, product damage and voiding your warranty. Your local Curve dealer, or the team at Curve HQ, can also help you select a rack system and mount it to your bike for you.
There is ample room for bikepacking bags on all frameset sizes. To make sure current, prospective or custom bagging fits your frame size please see our Bagmaker Drawing page.
* A "lowering" braze-on adapter may be needed to fit a front derailleur without interfereing with the bottle bosses. Contact us for info.
