Same Kev, New Feel
Curve has been fortunate enough to get ahold of a large number of the gravel-orientated Campagnolo Ekar groupsets, and we could think of no better bike to utilise these premium parts than our own Curve GXR, a.k.a Kevin!
Kev still maintains all the features that have propelled him to be our most popular, multi-discipline bike like our custom yoke allowing for 700c or 650b wheel options, 1x or 2x drivetrain compatibility and ample space for bikepacking bags, but now has acquired the self-styled 'world's lightest gravel groupset' and arguably best looking!
Named after and tested on the diverse, lesser-known foothills of Cima Ekar in the Venetian PreAlps, the Ekar 13-speed groupset is designed around a 1x-only system to provide a wide gear ratio for the mountainous ascents with the best chain security when traversing the gravel paths, singletrack and rock-laden descents.
With only limited numbers of Ekar Kev, we are very excited to have the opportunity to support our dealers with this build option but more so looking forward to seeing Ekar Kev take on some epic adventures around the world with a bit of Italian flare to boot!
