Frame: Pinarello Grevil, sized down to an S frame so I can have a more road-like geometry. I don’t like the tall and long trend on gravel frames.
Wheels: Light Bicycle 32mm internal width, 55mm deep, BERD spokes. 1200gr/pair
Bar/Stem: 38mm wide, 130mm long
Groupset: Dura Ace levers, XTR derailleur (don’t like GRX levers)
Crankset: Elilee X Novanta 165mm cranks (270gr), X Cadey Powermeter… at first I thought of this as a long shot but man both are excellent products.
Tires: Vittoria Terreno XC 2.1" (2.1” is the max you can fit both front and rear, I guess you could push the front to a 2.2” but it would be stubbornly tight).
Pedals: Dura ace, I’m sold on using road pedals for gravel. I like the support and stability but also comparing top of the line sidis and XTR vs Dura Ace, the difference is about 400gr, that is a lot. As an extra commentary I do not ride gravel as a mean to do adventure riding. When I opt for gravel is because I want to do long, lone rides mostly on high Z2 zones. No cars..
Weight: 7.6kg (16.7lbs), I think it is a very fair weight for a very dependable bike with 2.1” tires. The weight is with pedals included, of course.

On an extra note, I think this is the best gravel bike offering from Pinarello. They just released two new bikes. A more adventure-focused frame with great tire clearance but the geometry is too relaxed and I dislike mounting bolts on the fork, and a very nice race model but with limited tire clearance.
I very much like my older Grevil with limited tire clearance. I’ve never found that bike to be lacking with 40mm tires and a more road bike geometry. Enjoy that bike!
That’s fucking sick NGL
