Best gravel bike frames: build your own drop-bar off-road rig

Choosing the best gravel bike frame is the starting point when building up your perfect gravel bike

If you're looking for the best gravel bike frames, that probably means that you have a good idea of your ideal ride and are planning to build up the best gravel bike to suit your own needs. Alternatively, maybe you've crashed out and wrecked your old frame or just fancy an upgrade.

Whether for happy or sad reasons, you'll want a frameset that fits your style of gravel riding, of which there are lots, all the way from pro gravel racing through to heavy-duty bikepacking and multiday adventures.

To help you choose the best gravel bike frame, we've used our broad experience of gravel biking in all its guises to suggest a range of framesets at different prices and for different needs.

Not sure what you want? Then head to the bottom of the page for our buyer's guide to the best gravel bike frames and what to look for.

Best gravel bike frames

Why trust BikePerfect Our cycling experts have decades of testing experience. We'll always share our unbiased opinions on bikes and gear. Find out more about how we test.

Specialized S-Works Diverge frameset

Specifications, reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

The Specialized Diverge is designed to cover a wide range of use cases, from fast racing all the way to bikepacking. It's got all the mounting points you'd expect for load-lugging, but the S-Works frameset is also made of Spesh's top-spec carbon fiber if you plan to make up a performance gravel rig. The combination of the lightweight construction and agile handling results in a bike that we've found to be very responsive to rider input during testing, whether that be changing direction or putting the power down. With this in mind, as well as the premium pricing, we reckon it's best for faster rides.

There's a ton of clearance in the Diverge frame, so you can set it up with either 650b or 700c wheels and fit wider tires, or go for skinnier numbers with lots of clearance for when things get dirty. The Diverge frameset also comes with a Future Shock 2.0 headset damper and Roval carbon seatpost, adding to its compliance. Future Shock 2.0 is Specialized's newest gravel suspension design, which uses a hydraulic damper to isolate the handlebar from trail vibrations which made a big difference to control and comfort when we were riding over ruts and rougher terrain.

Mason Bokeh Ti frameset

If you're after a frameset with a rare cache, the Mason Bokeh Ti has to be up there. The titanium version of the Bokeh is hand-welded in small batches in Tuscany, with unique features like 3D printed titanium dropouts and custom tube profiles. As every frame is made to order you can decide on features of your frame spec when you order, so it's exactly tailored to your needs. 

If you have a spec in mind or have sourced your own components, Mason Cycles will build the bike up for you. The downside to all this small batch production is that there's a long waiting list for a Bokeh Ti frameset. If you can't wait, or you're looking for something more affordable, you can speed things up by going for the standard aluminum Bokeh.

Canyon Grizl CF frameset

The Canyon Grizl is the German direct-sales brand's gnarlier gravel bike and sits alongside the Grail which is more designed for 50/50 on- and off-road fast riding. That's not to say the Grizl isn't a quick bike, the carbon frame keeps it reasonably light and it features the same geometry as the Grail just with some beefier features. The Grizl frameset comes with fork leg mounts so you can load it up with your best bikepacking bags and you can fit 700c tires up to 50mm for added grip or comfort.

If you are a gravel rider looking for a gravel bike that can get rowdy without sacrificing the sharp handling. The low bottom bracket combined with the long reach and short stem really put you in control whether you're carving through high-speed gravel twisties or making the most of the grip from the massive tires on MTB-esque trails. We've also found that the Grizl's geometry also translates well when loaded up for a multi-day adventure, on-road or off, offering a stable and well-balanced ride.

The frameset comes complete with Canyon's own gravel-specific alloy bars and its VCLS split shaft carbon seatpost which improved comfort when riding seated over rough terrain during testing.

Read our full review on the Canyon Grizl for more details.

Trek Checkpoint SL frameset

While Trek has specced the Checkpoint with loads of great features there is one that is rarely seen on other gravel frames, especially those made from carbon. The Checkpoint frame comes with Trek's horizontal sliding dropout, which lets you move the rear wheel in or out from the frame. This gives the option to tighten up the rear end for snappier handling or increase the effective length of the chainstays for a more relaxed, stable ride. It also means you can set the Checkpoint up as a single speed if you want to, or are forced to in the case of a mechanical mid-ride.

It also comes with IsoSpeed, a damper located between the seatstay and seat tube, to help smooth out the trails for a comfortable ride however long you want to go. Other gravel-specific features include armor on the down tube to protect it from bashes, under the downtube mounting for a third waterbottle and fixtures inside the frame triangle to bolt on a frame bag. There's a storage area within the downtube as well to stash your mid-ride necessities.

Trek has reworked the geometry for the 2022 Checkpoint and it's all the better for it. Lengthening the wheelbase has increased stability and the stiff front end means it works well across gravel and road duties, although the IsoSpeed damped rear end tends to magnify the stiffness of the front over rougher trails. 

Cervelo Aspero 5 frameset

Cervelo says that it's designed the Aspero for speed, with a stiff frame that will transmit your energy to the ground when you want to put the power down off-road. The frame features all the hall-markings of a bike designed to go fast. Aero inspired tubing and a claimed sub-one kilo frame weight are all focused on fast-paced riding. The frame will only handle 42mm 700c or 49mm 650b tires, so although you're not going to be able to fit your super-chunky best bikepacking tires , there's still enough clearance for racier best gravel bike tire set-up.

The Aspero fork comes with a flip-chip, so if you swap from 700c to 650b wheels and tires, this adjusts the forks trail number and keeps the bike's handling consistent with both wheel sizes.

Santa Cruz Stigmata frameset

The Santa Cruz Stigmata frameset doubles duty as a cyclo-cross bike as well as being designed to handle all species of gravel riding. The latest generation has grown up, with greater tire clearance, more mounting points and new geometry to avoid toe overlap on smaller frames, but it's still true to its cyclo-cross roots, giving you sharp handling for whatever the course throws at you.

Like many of Santa Cruz’s bikes, the Stigmata isn’t extreme in terms of weight, geometry, ride smoothness, or power kick. It’s just an extremely well-balanced all-rounder that we've found is happy chasing mountain bikes around blue or even red grade trail centers with a dropper in, bikepacking for days, or playing peloton games with road bikes if you stick the right tires on. The frame shares a lot of constructional cues and tube dimensions with Santa Cruz’s mountain bikes supports a 'no questions asked’ lifetime warranty and creates a seriously tough yet responsive all-rounder that we hammered for well over a year in various setups.

The Stigmata starts at a 52cm frame size, so if you want a smaller size than this, look below...

Juliana Quincy frameset

Named after the town of Quincy which is located on Mt Shasta, a location known for its broad range of gravel riding and bikepacking. The Quincy is the equivalent frame to the Stigmata from Santa Cruz's women's-specific sister brand Juliana and shares many of the same features. built from the same high-quality CC grade carbon, it has the same wide tire clearance but the geometry is designed for riders from 5ft 0in to 5ft 9in. You get three size options: 49cm, 52cm, and 54cm.

There's the versatility for single ring or two ring groupsets and internal routing for cables, hoses, and a dropper. Juliana says that you can fit fenders, but not a rack so you're limited to bikepacking bags if you want to haul a load.

Buyer's guide to the best gravel bike frames

The best gravel bike frame for you will depend on what you're planning to do on it. With gravel encompassing a variety of different ride styles, no one frame will fit all.

Here's what you need to think about if you're looking for the best gravel bike frame.

Are there different kinds of gravel bike?

Gravel bikes have diversified rapidly over the last few years, from starting out as road bikes with a bit more room for wider tires to a wide range of designs. This covers everything from gravel racing bikes to full-on bikepacking rigs and everything in-between.

What components should you use with your frame?

Some component choices will limit which gravel bike frames will work for you from a technical point of view.

Are you going one-by or do you prefer a double-chainring set-up? Some frames may not have the clearance around the chainstays for a double crankset if they've been specifically designed for one-by. 

What tire clearance do you want? Most of the best gravel bike frames will take 45mm-plus tires but some will give you a lot more clearance than this. That's particularly important if you plan to go 650b, where the tire will be even wider at the sidewalls.

Fortunately, some things have more or less standardized in gravel bike design. 12x142mm rear and 12x100mm front axles are the norm (although Boost spacing is now making an appearance too), so you can be pretty sure that your best gravel bike wheels will fit. Likewise, almost all gravel bike frames and forks will have flat mount disc brake caliper interfaces and internal cable routing that can handle mechanical or electronic groupsets.

What still hasn't settled down (and probably never will) is bottom bracket standards. Many, but not all, bottom brackets can be run with adapters to fit cranksets of different standards, but you'll have a neater solution if you can avoid adapters.

Gravel bike bottom brackets usually follow road bike bottom bracket standards, meaning that MTB crank that you've got sitting in a drawer probably won't fit your new gravel bike frame.

So before you buy a frame, make sure that you know what you plan to kit it out with and that it will all fit.

Should I run a dropper post?

Many gravel bike riders are now running dropper posts on their gravel bikes. That means another cable to run from the bars and through the frame. Most gravel bikes will be designed with enough ports and the space to route a dropper cable through the frame, so this may be a non-issue, but it's worth checking that you'll have a spare port if a dropper might be on your shopping list.

And if you've got a specific dropper in mind, make sure that it's available in a size compatible with your intended gravel bike frame purchase.

Trek alpha sizing for MTB – what is it?

The old-school approach of measuring the frame size of Trek bikes is a thing of the past. With newer inventions and modern bike geometry, alpha sizing is used in place of numeric sizing on Trek mountain bikes.

Why is alpha sizing important?

1. Easier approach

Instead of using size numbers like 19.5, the sizes can be classified into S, M, ML, L, XL, and XXL. So, someone with a 17.5 size can go for the medium and a 19.5 is a large size. You don’t have to keep a tab on numbers; instead, the alphabet makes it easier.

2. Measurement based on reach

In earlier times the frame size measurement of Trek bikes was solely based on seat tube length. Things have changed, and modern mountain bike geometry focuses more on reach as of now. Hence, alpha sizing measures what matters and is a more simplified way of measuring bike size.

Trek sizing – virtual vs actual

This can puzzle you a bit as they both are somewhat similar yet there is a subtle difference. Actual size can be termed as the overall length of the seat tube from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the top tube intersection with the centerline of the seat tube.

On the other hand, virtual sizing is the overall length of the seat tube ranging from the center of the bottom bracket to the mid-point of the imaginary horizontal top tube in which it connects with the seat tube.

If I had to give you an example, a bike might have a virtual size of 18.5 and an actual size of 17.5. This means that the bike size feels like 18.5, but in actual sense, the frame size is 17.5. It doesn’t make much of a difference as it is there only to let you know what it is (actual size) and what it looks like in size (virtual size).

People also ask

Trek 17.5 frame size – what does it mean.

A 17.5 frame size is considered an M size (Medium) in terms of alpha sizing. Any individual who is 161-172 cm or a height of 5’3.4”-5’7.7” . If you are within this height range, going for a medium size shall be the right choice.

Trek medium frame size is for what height?

A medium size frame size (17.5) is ideal for a person with a height between 5’3.4”-5’7.7 ”. In centimeters, it is ideal for those around 161 to 172 cm in height.

Trek 24-inch bike is for what age?

When it comes to children, their bikes are measured in terms of wheel size instead of the standard frame size. These kid’s bikes have a size range between 12-26 inches, depending upon the height of the kid.

As far as a 24-inch wheel size is concerned, any kid between the ages of 8-11 can go for a fun ride with it. Some of the popular 24-inch bike models are Trek Roscoe 25, Wahoo 24, Trek Precaliber 24 , etc.

Trek 26-inch bike is for what height?

A 26-inch wheel-size bike is for kids with a height of 4’9”-5’3” (146-160 cm) . Wahoo 26 is a prime example of a bike in this category.

Trek 20-inch bike is for what age?

Trek 20-inch bikes are for children between 5 to 8 years of age. Additionally, if they are within the height of 3’9”-4’6” , it should be suitable for them.

Are Trek bikes good?

Trek bikes are considered to be extremely good and solid in build. It is known to be the number 1 performance bike brand all over the globe. Having its humble beginning in the year 1976 in Waterloo, Wisconsin, it has turned into the largest bicycle manufacturer all over the world. With an array of bikes ranging from, mountain, road, electric, and kids bikes, there is a lot to choose from a mammoth list.

How much is a used Trek bike worth?

It depends on a lot of factors in terms of how old the bike is, the year of production, which model, and a lot more. However, it can be within $1000-10,000 (depending on the model and other factors) .

Where are Trek bikes made?

The majority of their bikes are manufactured in Taiwan, China, Netherlands, and Germany too.

Why are Trek bikes so expensive?

Usually, the bike brand prefers top-tier components, suspensions, and frames that are ahead of its competitors. This results in additional costs that can be seen in the price tag and also many top-end Trek bikes are custom-made with less production, leading to being more expensive.

Trek bikes are a class apart in many ways with a range of bikes on offer for its fans across the world. Choosing the right size for you can be tricky, but this is where the Trek frame size chart comes to the rescue.

Trek as a bicycle brand might be on the costly side, but they punch above its weight to provide top-class bikes for the masses. I am always someone who roots for quality, and Trek provides what I need.

One comment

Thanks for your informative post. I really like the Trek alpha sizing for MTB because Trek frame sizes use alpha sizing rather than the usual inches or centimeters (cm), and they usually have a certain range of measurements.
