Aerodynamic Design

The GVR uses aerodynamic features found in modern road racing bikes, including truncated aero shapes, a downtube sculpted to shroud the water bottle, and optional internal cable routing. Tested in the wind tunnel, it gives racers an extra edge.

Confident Handling

The GVR’s geometry is designed for high-speed confidence off-road. It puts you in a slightly more upright and relaxed position for comfort while maintaining the agility needed to carve corners, make instant line changes, and slice through chaotic groups.

Increased Comfort

Suffer less in long endurance events or on rough courses with a carbon lay-up engineered for increased vertical compliance to absorb vibration and dampen impacts. With extra squish, you can ride harder for longer, and attack when the competition starts fading.

Designed in the Wind Tunnel

The GVR frame doesn’t just use standard round tubes. It has truncated aero cross sections designed by an engineering team with decades of experience crafting the world’s fastest aero bikes, all tested in the wind tunnel to ensure your watts don’t go to waste.

Aerodynamic Shaping

A bowed fork profile promotes clean airflow between the fork blades and front wheel, helping airflow stay smooth until it passes over the narrow aero seatstays. The downtube uses a tear-drop shape with a blunted trailing edge that helps shield water bottles from the wind.

All-Day Compliance

An intersecting seat tube/top tube interface isolates the seatstays from the seat tube to disperse and absorb vertical shocks. This is paired with a tailored carbon layup that provides highly targeted vertical compliance throughout the frame to reduce rider fatigue.

Fine-Tuned Comfort

Front-end comfort is improved with bowed fork blades engineered to help disperse vertical shock. The result is a smooth ride that saves your hands, forearms, and shoulders from high-frequency vibrations, while also providing greater traction and control.

Deftly Agile Handling

Using decades of race bike design experience, we tuned the GVR for responsiveness to allow it to move and corner with razor-sharp precision and confidence. It’s at home switching between rutted lines, railing loose gravel corners, and launching attacks out of fast groups.

45mm Tire Clearance

The GVR is made to keep things tight, light, aero, and fast. The frame’s dropped chainstay design is capable of fitting tires up to 700c x 45mm wide (or 650b x 53mm) with ample clearance to shed mud in the worst conditions.

More Route Options

Cable tourism is now optional. The GVR uses fully internal cable routing for the cleanest, most aerodynamic silhouette, but we also offer optional ports for external routing to satisfy riders who want easier maintenance. The choice is yours!

Built for You.

A bike is more than just a bike.

It’s joy, self-expression, and freedom. We understand what bikes mean to riders because we feel the same way. That’s why OBED strives to give everyday riders a pro-level experience by building their dream bike to their exact specifications. Customize your bike with your preferred groupset, components, paint color, and decals.

The GVR is our lightweight gravel race bike, built for riders who want a competitive advantage on fast gravel roads. It uses a lightweight frame with an efficient yet compliant carbon lay-up and geometry tuned for agility and control, making it perfect for high-speed endurance gravel riding and racing.

The GVR fits tires up to 700c x 45mm wide or 650b x 53mm wide.

Yes! The GVR is also fast and efficient on the road. If you choose to install road tires on your GVR, we recommend using tires at least 700c x 32mm wide to reduce the effect smaller tires will have on the geometry.

The GVR comes with tubeless-ready wheels and tires and is shipped set up tubeless with sealant from the factory.

The GVR does not have built-in rack mounts, but rack mounts can be added to the GVR frame by purchasing a Removable Rack/Fender seatstay bridge hardware kit. This kit allows you to install fenders and/or a rack.

We can install a gravel suspension fork as a custom component request. The GVR, however, does not use suspension-corrected geometry, so be aware that a suspension fork will lift the front end, altering the geometry and handling.

To modify the GVR for external routing, submit a custom component request.

If you're on the border of two sizes, the right size may depend on certain body measurements and your riding style. Feel free to contact us at any time regarding sizing questions - our product specialists are experienced with finding riders the right fit by cross-referencing your information with our fit database.

If you're not transferring measurements from a similar bike, to get completely "dialed in" for maximum performance, we recommend you see a reputable professional bike fitter that can fit you to your new bike.

Custom requests can be submitted through the “Component Requests” box in our bike builder, or you can contact us at any time to inquire about custom requests. A member of our team will reach out for additional information. All custom requests are subject to availability, and additional charges may apply.
