As riding styles evolve, so do frames

"Gravel bike = off-road only." This image may have been strong in the past.

However, over the past few years, observing the riding styles of many riders who chose the Graro frame, we noticed a clear shift.

・Paved roads for long rides are the main focus ・Riding on rough gravel, but with minimal bikepacking ・Seeking road bike-like speed and responsiveness

In other words, from "adventure-oriented gravel" to "all-road-oriented gravel."

ICAN Cycling is not just a brand that makes frames. We observe actual usage, listen to user feedback, and incorporate those changes into our designs.

And this time, the answer that emerged is the 2026 Graro Frame.

While retaining the toughness and reliability of the original Graro, it has been reborn as a faster, more refined, and modern gravel/all-road bike.

Key Updates for the 2026 Graro

1. Redesigned Fork: A cleaner and faster-looking aesthetic

The most eye-catching change for the 2026 model is the front fork.

The conventional Graro fork had three eyelets on each side, designed for attaching carriers, bottle cages, and other cargo.

However, in reality,

・Many riders didn't use the eyelets ・They wanted a simpler look ・They desired the sharp appearance of a road bike

Therefore, for the 2026 model, the fork eyelets have been removed.

As a result, we achieved:

・A visually cleaner silhouette ・A more aerodynamically smart impression ・A design that strongly conveys speed on paved roads

From "gravel for carrying cargo" to "gravel for enjoying the ride."

This update symbolizes the direction of the 2026 Graro.

2. Seatpost Changed from 15mm Offset to 0mm Offset

Beyond aesthetics, we also made a clear change to the riding position.

The previous model came standard with a 15mm offset (setback) seatpost, allowing riders to sit slightly further back.

For the 2026 model, we reevaluated this and switched to a 0mm offset (straight) seatpost.

The benefits of this change are clear:

・Easier to apply body weight over the pedals ・Direct power transfer when pedaling ・Easier to achieve a more forward and aggressive position

This setup is particularly favored by:

・Gravel racers ・Riders who primarily ride long distances on paved roads ・Riders who seek a road bike-like feel

Combined with the new fork design, the 2026 Graro has evolved into a frame that truly meets the needs of "gravel riders who want to go fast."

3. More Diverse Paint Designs for Wider Expression

The Graro frame is more than just a means of transportation.

It's a companion for riding in the wilderness, a presence that brightens everyday rides, and a canvas that reflects the rider's own aesthetic.

For the 2026 model, we have further expanded our paint designs for gravel frames.

・Calm, minimalist designs ・Bold, individualistic color schemes ・Sophisticated color combinations that also look great on road bikes

We cater to a wide range of styles.

Furthermore, at ICAN, we value not only the joy of "choosing" but also the joy of "creating."

On the ICAN Custom Paint dedicated website, you can:

・Freely combine colors online ・See the finished image in real-time ・Complete the order seamlessly

This provides an intuitive and easy-to-understand custom experience.

Your Graro will be one of a kind.

Ideal Rider Profile for the 2026 Graro

With these updates, the 2026 Graro has become a frame especially recommended for riders who:

・Ride gravel, but with a higher proportion of paved roads ・Seek road bike-like responsiveness and position ・Are race-oriented, or prefer speed-focused long rides ・Prioritize "lightness" over "heavy equipment"

Meanwhile, the Graro's inherent stability and frame rigidity remain intact.

It allows you to pedal confidently on rough terrain, yet accelerates smoothly on paved roads.

This balance is precisely why the Graro has been loved for so long.

Summary | Evolution Born from Community Feedback

The 2026 Graro frame is not a model we unilaterally decided to create based on what "we wanted to make."

This frame is the result of carefully collecting and shaping the voices of our actual users, the evolving gravel scene, and the real needs of modern riders.

・A clean fork with no eyelets ・A more forward and faster position thanks to the 0mm offset ・Diverse paint options for greater expression

The 2026 Graro can be described as "the evolved form for modern gravel racers/all-road riders."
