Gravel riding has always been about more than speed or distance – it’s about going off-script. Chasing curiosity. Taking the long way home. The new Avalanche Roam leans into that spirit with a lightweight carbon frame, wide-range gearing and a setup designed to keep you rolling when the road turns to dust.

The Avalanche Roam

Solid Spec, Smart Price

At R31 490, it’s one of the most accessible full-carbon gravel bikes on the market, and Avalanche has managed to pack in impressive spec: a carbon seatpost and integrated cockpit, L-Twoo 11-speed drivetrain with wide range gearing, hydraulic disc brakes and tubeless-ready wheels and tyres. It’s built to handle everything from weekend bikepacking trips to gravel races like The Gallows and Gravel Burn.

Carbon for Every Rider

The Roam delivers all the benefits of carbon fibre – lightweight agility, efficient power transfer and a smooth ride, while keeping capability at its core. This isn’t just about specs; it’s about unlocking the ride experience for more cyclists who dream of pushing their limits.

Rooted in Local Riding

Avalanche has been building bikes for South African riders for more than 30 years, and the Roam feels is a continuation of that ethos: modern tech, well-specced and ready for rough roads.

But what makes the Roam stand out isn’t just its carbon frame or components. It’s the fact that it lowers the barrier to entry for a more ambitious kind of cycling – one that starts where the tarmac ends. Whether you’re a mountain biker looking to explore gravel, a roadie wanting to mix things up, or just someone who enjoys quiet dirt roads, the Roam offers a solid platform to build your next adventure on.

No fuss. No frills. Just a bike built to roam.
