Santos Gravelmaster
With the Gravelmaster you can choose your own way. Literally. Where the racing bicycle has to give up, the Gravelmaster is going the extra mile. Not your bike, but you decide where to cycle. Riding beautiful forest trails or exhilirating dirt roads has never been more fun. The ultimate feeling of freedom.
The slightly wider tires offer you grip and control. The ergonomic dropbar ensures that you can choose the best position. Comfortable or a little lower if preferred. And if you choose the Santos racks, you can also take a lot of luggage with you. For an adventurous bikepacking trip or a nice long cycling holiday.
Carefree riding, low maintenance
Reliable Rohloff hub
Want to ride lots of carefree kilometers? Opt for the reliable and user-friendly internal Rohloff gear hub with Santos belt drive. It transforms your Gravelmaster into a low-maintenance and super strong travel partner.
The Rohloff hub has 14 gears and is available in 6 colors.
Longer lifespan, less maintenance
Durable Santos belt drive
With the right belt and sprockets the bike's drive system is super durable. The Gravelmaster has this durable Santos belt drive. That means fixed rear dropouts (so your rear wheel is always straight) and a Gates belt drive with extra strong CDX-EXP sprockets. It's the ultimate system for lots of silent kilometers.
Even more freedom of choice
Santos Adventure fork
This fixed fork is made of aluminum and has many strategically placed inserts allowing you to choose the set-up that suits you best. Not only when building the bike, but also later. Freedom of choice, that's what we like at Santos.
Mount two Santos Adventure Cages on it; for water bottles or, for example, for the new Santos drybags. Or go for a lowrider, the Santos TwinRack, if you want to take a little extra with you.
Not a fan of splashing water and mud? Then a mudguard can come in handy. No problem for the Adventure fork either.
At the front is a handy insert for the lamp holder. This allows you to put your headlight exactly in the right position so that your light beam shines nicely over your front wheel. The special lock of the light bracket ensures that the lamp remains neatly upright.
Comfort and control
Ergonomic handlebars
The Gravelmaster handlebars are a bit different. A nice race bend with just a little more position options than classic dropbars.
Take, for example, the Ergotec Rando Ergo handlebar (right). It is slightly angled at the stem which makes you sit a bit higher and therefore more comfortable. The bar ends are a bit wider than the traditional racing handlebars. Handy if you are going on long trips and are going to tackle different types of terrain.
The Syntace Race handlebar (left) or the Ergotec Rando Classic handlebar (middle) are also a good choice. Just try it out on the Santos bike or during a test ride outside, because every rider is unique and has his or her own preference.
Powerful disc brakes
The best braking power
The Gravelmaster has powerful disc brakes with the largest racing discs you can get. This way you always have enough braking power, even with lots of luggage. Choose mechanical or hydraulic, whatever suits you best.
Very comfortable
Wide tires
The Gravelmaster frame fits tires from 35 to 60 mm. You can mount narrow gravel racers or fat mountain bike tires. Just what you like best.
Wide, clear beam of light
Plugless hub dynamo
If you opt for SON lighting, you get a beautiful headlight with a wide and clear beam. This is a distinctive feature of the SON headlights. The connection to the hub dynamo is plugless, which makes it easy to take out the wheel. We mount the lamp on a Santos light bracket. so it shines perfectly over your tire and remains neatly upright.
The SON lamps are available in 6 colors, just like the corresponding hub dynamo and rear lamp.
