Gravel
The versatile adventure machine
There is no wrong way to set up a gravel bike. You can have a fat-tire road bike or a progressive drop bar mountain bike or something in between. It depends on the terrain you like to ride and how much you enjoy underbiking.
Your Manzanita gravel bike will be designed and built for you. The fit, geometry, and tubing selection will be tuned for your weight, riding style, and frame size.
And if you want to take it bikepacking, you can request mounts for a custom, bolt-on frame bag, extra water bottles, and a rear rack.
Starting at $2,199

Fork options
You can opt for a Manzanita steel fork for $599 or a carbon fork.
Steel forks use straight steerer tubes and more flexible fork blades for a little more front-end compliance. We can customize the fork offset to optimize the handling. The fork can also accommodate a 180mm rotor. You have the option to go with a unicrown or segmented design. It comes with an IS brake mount for running a post mount brake. Flat mount brakes are currently not an option for steel forks.
Carbon forks weigh less. That's their real advantage. Otherwise, all carbon forks are limited to 160mm rotors and flat mount brakes. Carbon forks cannot be powder coated.
Steel fork optional extras
- 3-pack mounts on fork blades: $50
- Fender mounts: $25
- Rack mounts (per pair): $25
