Pinarello Grevil gravel bike - video review

See Pinarello's Grevil in action in our latest bike video review

Pinarello’s Grevil is one of the most radical-looking bikes to launch into the popular gravel bike segment, but it was equally shocking to see Pinarello, a company best known for high-end race bikes and Tour de France success, jumping on the gravel bandwagon.

We’ve already run our rule over the new Grevil, with Stu testing it recently. Now you can see it in action, with our video review of the bike.

David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes

Where is the internal cable routing for the hub dynamo, the additional bottle cage mounts, and all the mount points you need for long distance gravel travel?

Italians build lithe and beautiful things and do it well.  Germans build stuff like a tank and also do it well.  This looks like a tank made in Italy, I don't know about that.  I had seen it in pics and was on the fence, after seeing the video...no, thanks.  53 mm tyre clearance yet aero touches and and a double chainring.  To me it looks like the gravel thing has gone totally over the top here.  If you need 53 mil then I'd think you'd be better off with a 1x MB transmission and if all those aero touches are relevant?  Come to think about it, you'd be better off on a hardtail.  Jack of all trades, master of none comes to mind.

But I hasten to add:  I haven't ridden one so defer to the sages who did.

One likes to ride on grevil, and have one's coal delivered in sex. The bicycle is every bit as beautiful as oneself.
