OPEN WI.DE. GRX 1x

Another variation on the OPEN WI.DE. theme, and this one is sporting Shimano's new GRX gravel-focused groupset - here in 1x configuration with Di2 electronic shifting.

The clean lines of the new GRX cranks really suit the OPEN's sleek frameset, and together with a classic ENVE seatpost and cockpit make for a very well integrated whole.

One of the standouts on this build is the wheelset, another relative newcomer to the gravel scene... DT Swiss bring aero to the world of gravel/adventure wheels with the 42mm deep, carbon GRC 1400 SPLINE. Despite their aero profile they weigh in at just 1611g per pair in this 700c size, and they use DT's 240-series hubs for reassuring strength and durability. Naturally they're tubeless ready, and we've set these up tubeless with Panaracer's trusty Gravelking SKs in a 35mm width.

There's so much you can do with a WI.DE. and we love finding new combinations to suit each individual rider's fit and requirements. Build your own dream bike in our online Bike Builder, or get in touch to discuss options.
