Ridefarr has introduced a new set of GMX frames for gravel cyclists.
The logo known for its extensive handlebars and gravel adventure accessories has now embarked on the production of a frame. GMX’s acronym for Ridefarr is broken down as “Gravel Monster Cross”, positioning it as a motorcycle for classic off-road trips and gravel adventures.
With a 6061 aluminum frame and a chromoly fork, the GMX is designed to offer riders a flexible off-road electric motorcycle with the merit of riding giant wheels.
The geometry is elegant for a cool gravel travel bike, with the GMX with a 69-degree head angle, balanced across a 74.5-degree seat angle. Larger frame sizes have stiffer head angles, at 69.5 degrees.
The utility is a transparent design goal and, as such, the GMX has a set of meeting points. There are two hydration bottle holders in the front triangle, another under the back tube and the upper tube supports for a frame bag.
Beyond its ability to bring many refreshments and some essential elements for the night, GMX’s mechanical frame specifications are aimed at low maintenance. Its cranks spin in a 73 mm threaded pedal box, which prevents cracking caused by fine dust penetration, especially if driving in massive kilometers of gravel road.
Ridefarr’s commercial designers have spaced the rear triangle to accommodate a 148 mm wide hub and there’s room for 29 x 2.25 inch tires. The brake disc specification is a 160 mm flat rear bracket and a 160 mm front bracket.
The weight of the frame is 1809 g, while the metal fork adds another 1,405 g. While the concept of a 29-inch gravel travel motorcycle might seem to some, it has a great appeal to giant or giant cyclists, who feel more comfortable riding On Giantr off-road wheels, with more air volume on the tires.
Riderfarr markets the GMX in six frame sizes, ranging from XXS to XL. It is priced at $695, including a chromoly fork, an integrated helmet, two transverse axles, a seat bar alloy collar and all applicable frame mounting bolts.
