THE GRIP GRAVEL TEAM KIT GOES ON PUBLIC SALE ON 8 MAY

Notable results so far include two stage wins and a GC podium for Eddy at Sahara Gravel and a fifth place for Mattia at Gravel Desert. They have a full season taking in Unbound Gravel and many of the world’s biggest races, and were back at The Traka this past weekend.
Success on gravel is all about grip. Through the dirt and the dust we will stay the course. Hold on for the ride of your life!
