With the latest version of the BH GravelX, a new concept of gravel race bike is born. This model combines comfort and performance thanks to its SRS vibration filtering system. The BH GravelX family expands with the arrival of a high-end build.

The lines of the GravelX maintain the identity of BH’s competition range. The Airbow Gravel fork adds character to the front and, like the frame, allows for tire clearance up to 45 mm wide. Integration and discretion are fundamental characteristics of its design: this includes not only the seatpost clamp, cabling, and wheel thru-axles, but also a compartment under the down tube. This compartment allows for carrying a mini-pump, a CO2 cartridge, and a folded inner tube, all with a manual opening system without compromising the frame’s clean lines.
The SRS system, designed to filter vibrations and allow for real rear movement up to 5 mm, is the most distinctive feature of the GravelX. It is manifested in the particular shape at the intersection between the seatstays and the seat tube, as well as in the characteristic openings on the chainstays.
Despite its competitive nature, the GravelX remains very versatile, also accepting double chainring drivetrains. The arrival of the new Shimano GRX Di2 maximizes this configuration, combining a 12-speed cassette to offer a wide gear range and optimized gradation.
The updated Shimano GRX Di2 becomes semi-wireless: the shift levers communicate with the derailleurs (without wires), while the derailleurs are connected to a single battery. This design offers long battery life and simplifies the recharging process. The new levers improve ergonomics, with optimized grip and an enlarged contact surface for the controls. In addition to the two usual buttons on each lever, a third button is located on the inner side of the upper part. All buttons are configurable via the Shimano E-tube app, allowing you to assign shifting actions or interact with compatible GPS devices.
The slightly wider chainline of the GravelX facilitates the safe use of wide tires in all kinds of conditions.
The BH GravelX 6.0 equipped with the Shimano GRX Di2 2×12 groupset is available at a price of €4,999.90.
