Looking to upgrade my gravel bike. Current is a focus mares cx bike. Love it but it's limiting.
My style riding i do mostly fire roads in the middle of South Carolina but do some mountains races 2-3 times a year. And really enjoying it.
Average 100ish miles a week teaining. Background is road riding.
What choices I have i am not focused on group more on what frame is best.
Looking at
2021 pinarello grevil- great features and looks amazing
2023 pivot vault- best group set
3t exploro race – worse group set but sexest one.
I tend to like more relaxed geometry.

What’s limiting about your current bike?
I’d also consider the wheels. Looks like the first two have carbon rims and the 3t is aluminum. Add that to a worse group and I’d rule that one out.
Between the other two it depends on your use case. Grevil is functionally [geometrically] the same as their road bike, and has a 2x drivetrain. If you’re riding a mix or road heavy, I’d go with that.
The Pivot is way closer to a mountain bike and a better choice for rough gravel and less pavement. Definitely a more relaxed geometry
They’re all sick
