Gravel biking has experienced a real boom lately – and it's no wonder. These bikes are true all-rounders, suitable for both beginners and experienced cyclists. We have been involved from the start and developed a gravel bike that has its roots in the off-road sector. The RAG+ quickly became a favorite among our employees and friends, even among those who had never considered a drop-bar bike before.

The possibilities are almost limitless – from daily commuting to amateur cyclocross races to use as a fitness bike. Thanks to multiple mounting points, you can take everything you need with you, making the RAG+ ready for your next big adventure. The name RAG stands for “Road & Gravel,” and the “Plus” means you can ride it with different tire sizes: from standard 700C road bike tires to 700C gravel tires (up to 45C) to 27.5" wheels with up to 2.2" tires.

It features the latest technology, including a proper 1x drivetrain with a wide-range cassette, disc brakes, and thru-axles. The sleek aluminum frame is complemented by a full carbon fork. The 2022 model received a revised geometry that makes the bike more stable and comfortable: The head tubes are higher, allowing the rider to adopt a more comfortable seating position. But we haven't gone too far – the bike's sporty handling remains intact. The reach is longer, and the head angle is slacker.
