FOR THE ENDLESS ROADS

Offline is our first pure steel-frame gravel bike, built to go wherever you please. The geometry designed for a 56 cm frame suits taller riders from around 180 cm in height. Smaller frames are coming, but for now it’s a head start for taller riders.

Offline offers strength and versatility. At a total weight of 14.5 kg it’s not the heaviest in the region, but thanks to a steep top tube you can still get a good workout if you want. The off‑road bar flares at the drops and gives much better control in tougher terrain. The Microshift Advent groupset provides nine well-spaced gears, so you won’t be constantly hunting for the right ratio.

There’s also a more general-purpose gravel bike with a flat bar called Streamline. Check that out if a straight handlebar and unrestricted use are more your thing.

STEEL FRAME MADE IN FINLAND

Made from Finnish steel. The Docol R8 tube, manufactured from high‑strength steel, is strong, safe and consistent in quality. Because of its strength and lightness Docol R8 tubes are used in drag cars, motorcycles and sports cars. Read more on SSAB’s pages about the steel tubing we use.

A steel-framed gravel is a move towards freedom and durability. Gravel cycling has become very popular in recent years, giving riders the chance to explore new terrain and enjoy the spirit of adventure. One key reason for this trend has been the return of steel-framed bikes. Steel brings significant benefits that can make bikepacking and long rides more enjoyable.

Steel frames are known for excellent durability and shock absorption, making them ideal for rutted gravel roads and forest trails.

STEEL FRAME DURABILITY

Unlike some other materials, steel can withstand strong impacts and harsh terrain without losing structural integrity. This is especially valuable on long and demanding bike trips where you encounter all kinds of roads and tracks. The durability of steel means a longer service life, giving riders peace of mind and good value for money for years.

Steel tubing will bend under excessive load rather than snap like aluminium. From a safety perspective this matters, especially as a bike ages, since aluminium’s strength tends to diminish faster over time than steel’s.

Unmatched comfort on long rides

On gravel rides comfort beats outright speed, especially when the aim is to enjoy long trips in nature. Steel frames are superior for comfort because their natural flex soaks up vibration and shocks effectively. This reduces strain on hands, legs and back, allowing longer distances with less effort.

Steel‑framed 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 feel on rough ground. These traits make steel a versatile choice suitable for tracks, forest trails and city streets. The essence of gravel riding is the freedom to explore varied environments, and steel supports that by offering a reliable and responsive companion for every adventure.
