BH GravelX by Nacar wins a Design & Innovation Award
- Nacar Design Agency
The BH GravelX 4.0 bicycle, designed by the BH team in collaboration with the Nacar Design studio in Bilbao, led by Javier Cuñado, has been awarded the prestigious Design & Innovation Award 2024: a bike that stands out for its remarkable blend of speed, comfort, and innovation, setting it apart in its class.
What makes the new BH GravelX 4.0 stand out? Let's explore a few key points to understand its distinctive features.
High-Speed Comfort
BH GravelX 4.0 stands out for its practical speed and comfort. The award-winning Smooth Riding System, featuring cut-outs in the chainstays and a pivotal point on the seat tube, minimizes vibrations while maintaining sturdy performance for climbs and sprints. The aero toolbox and hidden quick levers add a touch of practicality for racing.
Light Gravel, Heavy Performance
Tailored for optimal gravel performance, GravelX 4.0 is a lightweight contender with simplicity in design. The rear triangle absorbs vibrations, and the frame, utilizing Hollow Core Internal Moulding (HCIM) technology, keeps the weight down at 1,050 g in the M size model. Ballistic Carbon Layup ensures durability and lightness, while the Air Bow fork accommodates wider tires, up to 45 mm.
Srs Anti-Vibration System
Enhancing the GravelX 4.0's performance is the SRS Anti-Vibration System. Shaped chainstays and a pivot point allow controlled flex, providing comfort with 3 to 5 mm movement based on rider weight. This system not only improves the ride but also protects the frame from gravel terrain.
Steering + Handlebars, Built-In Compartment, Hidden Quick Levers
The Gravel 4.0 keeps it practical with a semi-integrated ICR steering system for aerodynamics, compatible with ACR systems. A built-in compartment at the bottom of the down tube adds storage space for essentials like a pump or CO2 cartridge. Easily accessible and foldable inner tube-friendly, it maintains simplicity. Hidden quick levers blend seamlessly with the bike's straightforward design.
Conclusion
With the Design & Innovation Award in hand, BH GravelX 4.0 proves it's a top choice in the world of gravel biking. Its straightforward design and innovative features make it a reliable and celebrated choice for riders seeking simplicity and performance.
