FOR THE ENDLESS ROADS

Offline is our first pure steel-framed gravel bike, ready to be thrown where your mood takes you. The geometry made for a 56 cm frame size suits tall Finns from about 180 cm upwards. Smaller frames are coming, but for now this is a head start for taller riders.

Offline offers strength and versatility. At a total weight of 14.5 kg it’s not the lightest beast in the county, but its steep top tube angle will still get you working up a sweat if you want. The off-road bar flares at the grips and gives noticeably better handling on tougher terrain. The Advent drivetrain provides a suitable 9 speeds, so you won’t be constantly hunting for the right gear.

There is also a more general-purpose gravel bike with a straight bar, called Streamline. Check that out if a flat handlebar and unrestricted use suit you better.

STEEL FRAME MADE IN FINLAND

Made from Finnish steel. The special-strength Docol R8 tubing is strong, safe and consistent in quality. Because of its strength-to-weight ratio, Docol R8 tubing is used in drag cars, motorcycles and sports cars. Read more on SSAB’s pages about the steel tubing we use.

A steel-framed gravel bike is a step towards freedom and durability. Gravel riding has grown hugely popular in recent years, offering riders the chance to explore new terrains and feel the thrill of adventure. One key factor in this growth has been the return of steel-framed bikes. Steel brings significant advantages that can make bikepacking and long rides more enjoyable.

Steel frames are known for excellent durability and vibration damping, making them ideal for rough gravel roads and forest trails.

STEEL FRAME DURABILITY

Unlike other materials, steel can withstand strong impacts and harsh terrain without losing structural integrity. This is especially valuable on long, demanding bike trips across varied roads and trails. Steel’s durability also means a longer service life, giving riders peace of mind and good value for money over many years.

Steel tubing can bend under excessive load instead of fracturing like aluminium, which is important for safety on older bikes, as aluminium’s strength tends to degrade faster over time than steel’s.

UNRIVALLED COMFORT ON LONG DISTANCES

On gravel rides comfort often matters more than outright speed, especially when enjoying long trips in nature. A steel frame is superior for comfort: its natural flex absorbs vibrations and shocks effectively. This reduces strain on hands, legs and back, allowing longer rides with less fatigue.

STEEL-GENERATED GRAVEL FOR VARIED TERRAIN

A steel-framed gravel bike delivers excellent performance across many surfaces. Its stiffness and durability provide stability at speed, while the frame’s compliance improves ride feel on rough surfaces. These qualities make steel a versatile choice suitable for gravel roads, forest trails and urban streets alike. The essence of gravel riding is the freedom to explore different environments, and steel supports that goal by offering a reliable and responsive companion for all your adventures.
