GRAIN is our most advanced interpretation of the wooden gravel bike. Born from the patented
Wood, in particular, is a living material that absorbs vibrations and ensures unparalleled natural comfort, making each pedal stroke smooth, harmonious, and silent. On compact gravel as well as fast dirt roads, GRAIN combines responsiveness and lightness without sacrificing stability.
The power of nature meets performance
The full-integrated frame is crafted from FSC-certified wood, precision-machined with CNC technology and hand-finished. The main triangle consists of six half-shells assembled with aluminum joints and internal plywood membranes. The rear triangle, on the other hand, is made of laminated “sandwich” wood.
To be honest, this innovative construction, inspired by the aerospace sector, combines controlled flexibility and strategic rigidity, thus ensuring absolute performance. Yet, with a natural and exclusive soul. The clean and integrated design minimizes maintenance and enhances the beauty of the wood grain, making each GRAIN a unique piece.
Performance and comfort on every terrain
GRAIN is designed for sportive gravel and endurance adventures. The aggressive geometry and compact rear triangle ensure responsive and precise handling, while the wood dampens vibrations, reducing fatigue on long and uneven routes.
Whether it’s gravel competitions or long days of riding on fast dirt roads, GRAIN offers a perfect balance between performance, comfort, and reliability, making every outing an authentic and enjoyable experience.
Sustainable uniqueness
Every GRAIN is born from wood sourced from sustainably managed forests and FSC certified. Specifically, the choice of wood reduces environmental impact by minimizing energy consumption and allows for recycling or reusing the frame at the end of its lifecycle.
It is a bicycle designed to last a lifetime. GRAIN is much more than a bicycle: it represents the fusion of living wood, patented technology, and Italian design. As such, it is a bicycle designed for cyclists who demand high performance, natural comfort, and aesthetic uniqueness simultaneously. Riding a GRAIN means experiencing gravel cycling in an authentic, elegant, and sustainable way.
