"BH's new GravelX AL is not just an affordable aluminum gravel bike ready for adventure. It's also a killer value for a bike made in Europe, with complete GRX 12-speed pricing starting under two thousand euros. For anyone looking to get into gravel riding, this looks like a great aluminum bike that balances modern looks and the latest standards - like UDH & cable integration, while retaining classics like a threaded bottom bracket and 27.2 post for timeless serviceability."
"You now get similar aero-inspired tube shapes and dropped seatstay designs, like the top carbon GravelX R, just now in triple-butted, hydroformed 7005 aluminum. And then, the same Air Bow carbon fork with 2-bolt mounts on the legs as the micro rear suspension Gravel X AT. It's a much more accessible gravel bike price-wise. And the fact that the alloy frame is made in Portugal is just icing on the cake."
"The alloy bike leans a bit towards all-day stability and comfort with a slightly longer rear end on 426mm chainstays. It's exactly the same as the carbon race model, actually, just with the addition of a smaller XS size too, now. But that has the added benefit of keeping clearance for full-size 45mm tires on the aluminum frame, even with clearance for a front derailleur and 2x gravel drivetrain setups, thanks to a machined chainstay yoke."
BH GravelX AL pairs triple-butted, hydroformed 7005 aluminum tubing with an Air Bow carbon fork, offering modern aero-inspired tube shapes and dropped seatstays. The alloy frame is made in Portugal and includes a threaded bottom bracket and 27.2mm seatpost for serviceability. Geometry favors stability with 426mm chainstays, full-size 45mm tire clearance, and optional 2x drivetrains enabled by a machined chainstay yoke. The frame supports extensive bikepacking with multiple downtube, seattube, toptube, under-downtube, and fork cage mounts plus a rear rack mount. The bike adopts modern standards such as UDH and fully integrated cable routing and is available with GRX 12-speed builds starting under two thousand euros.
