The Gravel Project

The Gravel Project is a collaboration between Zara Athleticz and Ángel Cycle Works, combining technical precision with the artisanal passion of cycling.

From this partnership emerges a bicycle designed to explore without limits, where performance, beauty, and freedom come together in every detail.

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference"

ROBERT FROST – “The road not taken”

GRAVEL: THE ART OF GETTING LOST

Gravel doesn’t follow paths — it creates them. It is the purest essence of cycling: freedom without limits, speed without asphalt, and adventure without a fixed destination. It’s born from the instinct to explore the unknown, to feel the ground beneath the tyres, and to embrace the silence of the mountains as your only companion.

A gravel bike is more than a machine; it is an extension of the modern explorer — capable of bridging tarmac and dirt, precision and emotion. Light, resilient and elegant, it invites you to get lost in order to find yourself, turning every route into a story only you can write.

ANGEL CYCLE WORKS

Ángel Cycle Works builds every bicycle with an almost obsessive dedication to detail. Every weld, every junction, every finish reflects the soul of the person who crafts it and the one who will ride it.

Their bikes blend precision engineering with artisanal sensitivity, designed to deliver maximum performance and a beauty that stands the test of time.

More than objects, they are unique pieces born from a deep respect for material, form and speed.

DRIVETRAIN & GEARING

We’ve chosen the new SRAM Force XPLR 1×13 groupset, combining versatility with a wide gearing range specifically designed for gravel riding. It brings the latest electronic shifting technology, offering simplicity by eliminating the front derailleur, efficiency with 13 finely spaced gears, and exceptional shifting speed and synchronization.

PERFECT BALANCE

We aimed for the perfect balance that a true gravel bike demands: reliability, low weight, comfort, and versatility. Reliability through a premium drivetrain and top-tier components from trusted brands; low weight thanks to a high-performance full-carbon framekit; comfort provided by a well-balanced geometry suitable for every type of ride; and versatility, because it’s ready for fast gravel, bikepacking, long routes, road sections — whatever the moment or terrain calls for.
