Size Guide
Once you have a bike that you are comfortable with, comparing its geometry to the Pastel Gravel Bike is a good place to start.
If you want to replicate the position of your road bike, choose handlebars that are similar in width. If you want more control, increase it. We typically recommend 20mm wider than that of your road bike.
Start with the STACK value. If you want a more comfortable position, choose a higher value. Gravel bikes usually start with a 5-15mm higher position compared to road bikes.
Our bikes are designed with a natural position in mind. If you have a longer torso and shorter legs, you should slide the saddle forward on the rails and vice versa.

The multitalent. The freedom machine. The what if tool.
What if you turn right this time? The road ends there, but maybe there's something else. A path, a view, an adventure? Embark on a new challenge with a bike that never says never.
To create a gravel bike that is versatile, reliable, easy to maintain and fast on all surfaces, we had the following requirements for the design:
- Light and reliable components
- Easy maintenance
- Threaded bottom bracket, UDH derailleur hanger, standard adjustable handlebars and seatpost
If you want a truly individual product we are able to offer a fully custom color service. As a starting point RAL colors are widely available, but lot of our customers are inspired by their dream car colors. Currently offering a single color option with individual branding (stripes & Pastel branding).
Finishing option can range from full matt to glossy.

Carbon Aero-Wheelset
What is the #1 upgrade you recommend for bikes? Buying a lightweight and aerodynamic wheelset. And rightly so, because a high-quality wheelset will completely change the handling: Acceleration is livelier and speed is maintained better.
The aero wheelset with aero spokes is suitable for both gravel and road use (28-50mm tires), tubeless ready and equipped with a quick-locking, sealed hub (Shimano HG, Microspline & SRAM XDr freewheel body available ). The brake disc mount is Centerlock and the spokes used are Sapim Aero Bladed Straight Pull.
Pancho Alu-Laufradsatz
High-quality aluminum wheelset from the Austrian manufacturer
Pancho Wheels.
Thanks to tried-and-tested craftsmanship and the usage of exclusively high-quality individual components, we have succeeded in doing this in a sensational way. With Spirit, we combine a high level of suitability for everyday use with a riding performance that has never been seen before in this class.
You don't want to worry about what to expect during the tour? The tire's large volume provides plenty of grip on a variety of surfaces and stays fast on tarmac thanks to the closely spaced knobs in the center.
Shimano 12s GRX610 1x (mechanisch)
A groupset that has set the gold standard for mechanical groupset reliability. The 1x shifter is perfect for Gravel: one less shifter to break, the front derailleur works reliably on any terrain and the chain stays taut the whole time. This shifter is a sensible choice from a manufacturer known worldwide for their precision work is known. There are no batteries involved and all bike shops from Zurich to Bishkek can help if something goes wrong. Cassette: 10-51
SRAM Rival 12s XPLR AXS 1x (elektronisch)
The 1x-specific XPLR AXS wireless drivetrain from SRAM is tailored to the needs of dropbar riders and offer a sweet spot in terms of gearing. With a 10-44 cassette and the right rear derailleur, you have a wide range of gear ratios for gravel climbs and small gear increments for fast riding on the road.
SRAM Mullet Rival GX AXS 1x (elektronisch)
No more shift cables, constantly readjusting derailleurs and running out of gears. This setup with a 12-speed 10-52 MTB cassette sets you almost no limits. Furthermore, the built-in precision motor guarantees an always fast and perfect switching process.
Choose this option if you need enough gears for the most demanding climbs or if the bike is often loaded for bikepacking. An option to set and forget, as long as you charge the battery every now and then.
Ample Tire Clarance
What makes our bikes really versatile is the possibility to mount wide tires. The clearance for the tires is 700*50 or 650*2.1”. This means that a tire of up to 50mm can be used in the standard gravel wheel size of 700cc (sometimes more, depending on the manufacturer). This is MTB territory, but if slicks or thinner tires are fitted, the Pastel Gravel turns into an all-road machine thanks to the carbon wheels, low weight and clever geometry.
Numerous attachment points
24 mounting bolts offer many possibilities, including the mounting of:
- Bottle cages
- Front and rear pannier rack
- Mudguards and lights
Of course, you don't have to mount everything - but isn't it good to know that your gravel bike will be a faithful partner on all future adventures?
Natürlich musst du nicht alles anbringen – aber ist es nicht gut zu wissen, dass dein Gravel Bike auf allen zukünftigen Abendteuer ein treuer Partner sein wird?
