The gravel cycling scene seems to be growing everywhere we look, so why should Zwift be any different! Many of you may have noticed the influx of new gravel products in The Drop Shop over the past few months as well as some gravel specific programs like such as the latest Garmin UNBOUND Training Experience that kicks off the week of April 11th. This 8 week program is designed to prepare riders for the rigors of an IRL gravel race while also giving riders access to top gravel pro’s on group rides and podcast rides.
Below is a summarization of the gravel specific products in game including the Allied Able which dropped into the shop this week in our latest release. Hopefully this guide helps get you up to speed on what is available for us when the road turns to dirt so you can spend less time researching and more time riding!
BIKES
Allied Able (New in Zwift game release v1.24)
The Able begs to be ripped around on chunky gravel, hardpack dirt, fire roads and singletrack. Purpose-built for wider tires, but with a shorter rear end for telepathic handling. Proven on the brutal terrain of the 2019 Dirty Kanza where Colin Strickland and Amity Rockwell piloted their Ables to overall victory.

Canyon Grail
The Gravel Bike is a blend of two worlds. Road and off-road. It does both well but not quite as good as the road or mountain bike in its specific areas. If your ride is going to take you across a variety of surfaces, the gravel bike will maintain good rolling speed everywhere. A good all-round bike.

- Aero: 2 stars
- Unlock level: 23
- Cost (drops): 355,000
Canyon Inflite
The CX bike is very similar to the gravel bike and uses the same wheels/tires, so the rolling resistance is the same. Just like the gravel bikes, this CX bike will be good across a variety of surfaces. But the road bike is still the outright winner on-road.

- Cost (drops): 234,300
Lauf True Grit
The True Grit is a versatile gravel and endurance race horse, with nerves of carbon. Blast through gravel, sweep the singletracks, float on asphalt or open your recovery beverage of choice. At the core of True Grit is the Lauf Grit SL, with its 30mm of front suspension – the thing that changed how gravel riding is perceived, now taken to the next level.

Specialized Diverge
Whether your goal is to escape on gravel back roads, far from cars and crowds, or drop the hammer at the front of your favorite gravel race, no bike does it better than the new Diverge. It’s quite simply the fastest, most capable - and just maybe the most fun - bike we’ve ever made, delivering a ride that’s quick and lively under power, but stable and confidence inspiring when the terrain gets rough. From Future Shock 2.0 and all-new gravel geometry, to internal storage and category leading tire clearance, the new Diverge represents everything we’ve learned over more than 40 years of riding road, gravel and dirt. The Diverge writes an entirely new chapter in the gravel bike category, so you can dream up entirely new rides. It’s the ultimate getaway vehicle.
