About Grifn Gravel
The Grifn is designed for riders looking for that one bike that can do it all. Whether it's competitive rides on smooth asphalt or commuting on crisp gravel paths, the Grifn is the all-road bike for all surfaces.
In the design, we combined the speed of a road bike with the comfort of a gravel bike. With a maximum tire clearance of 38mm (40mm with 1x drivetrain), you'll have traction on country roads, while 32mm allows you to assert your place in the peloton. Additionally, it's possible to connect fenders and a dynamo to the bike, ensuring you can go anywhere even in bad or dark weather.
The name Grifn refers to the mythical creature griffin, a mythological creature symbolizing dominion over heaven and earth. Therefore, the Grifn reigns over both asphalt and gravel. The geometry is tailored to the riding behavior that best suits the intended use of the bike and the terrain. There's ample comfort for long distances, and the bike is aggressive enough for competitive Gran Fondos.
In short, with the Grifn, we're essentially breaking the N+1 rule of bike ownership.
All-road geometry
Two worlds, one bike
With the Grifn family, you can hit the road as well as the off-road. You simply change wheelsets and do a gran fondo gravel on Saturday and hit the road the day after with the regular cycling club. With this family, you no longer need any other bikes.
The maximum tire clearance of the Grifn is 40 millimetres in a 1x setup and 38 millimetres with a 2x setup.
The maximum tire clearance of the Grifn is 40 millimetres in a 1x setup and 38 millimetres with a 2x setup. This is a deliberate choice for a width sufficient to handle the vast majority of dirt roads. You can also opt for extra-wide tyres on the road, which provides a surplus of comfort and makes the Grifn ideal for long days in the saddle.
11 mounting points for personalised setup
The Grifn has 11 mounting points for a 100% personalised setup. With three mounting points on and under the down tube and three mounting points on the seat tube, you can fully determine the position of your bottle cages and frame bag. You also have two mounting points on the top tube for an extra bag or toolkit. You can cleverly hide these under a handy cover.
Design & Innovation Award 2022
The jury agrees: the Grifn can do it all. "If there was one word that Ridley had in mind when developing the Grifn allroad bike, it was versatility. Whether its gravel roads or alpine passes, with the right tires, the bike can do it all. Added to that is the Grifn’s low-key, classic looks", is what the jury concludes.
We’re very proud to be awarded the Design & Innovation Award, the Oscars of the bike and outdoor industries.
Internal Dynamo Routing
The fork is equipped with internal cable routing for a dynamo hub. No more hassle with tape or tie-wraps to guide the cable from the dynamo hub to the front light as the cable is now nicely hidden inside the forkleg.
Special mudguards for the Grifn
Our product developers designed specific mudguards for the Grifn. You can order these and have them installed at your local dealer! That way, you can use your Grifn in all weather conditions and it is also fully suitable for commuting.
Integrated cable routing rear light
The frame offers the possibility to route the cable for a rear light internally inside the top tube where it will exit near the the seattube. At the same time these cable ports are nicely hidden so when not using them, you will hardly notice them on your frame.
UDH Hanger
The universal derailleur hanger (UDH) is the new standard in the cycling world. Not only is this derailleur hanger compatible with all modern shifting groups, it also protects against derailleur breakage and chain drops. In mountain biking, UDH has long been very common, and Ridley is bringing the technology to other segments as well.
