KTM Gravelator Elite Bicycle – Carbon Gravel Bike
Adventure and performance without limits.
The new KTM Gravelator Elite redefines the gravel bike concept, combining cutting-edge technology, superior riding comfort, and pure spirit of exploration. Made with an innovative Gravelator Carbon x1/R6980 carbon frame, this bike is designed for those who seek much more than just a simple A to B ride: they want to live freedom on every terrain.
The heart of the Gravelator is the new FIS – Full Integrated Storage system, a compartment fully integrated into the down tube that allows you to store tools, snacks, or spares invisibly and securely.
On the top models (Gravelator Exonic and Prime), the HUT – Helpful Universal Tool is also included, a multifunction tool always ready to use.
For the 2026 season, the frame geometry has been further refined to offer a balanced riding position, more comfort and precision, without sacrificing agility and control.
The KTM Gravelator Elite is ready for anything: long gravel rides, bikepacking adventures, or daily commuting.
Thanks to the numerous mounts for bags and accessories, and the Flexibridge system, you can mount fenders quickly, safely, and without hassle.
The Gravelator series represents the essence of KTM philosophy: performance, functionality, and minimalist design for those who love to go beyond.

A Complete Guide to Bike Sizes
Foreword: Not all bike sizes are the same
Each type of bike has a specific frame and often uses a different size scale. For example, a road bike with a 54cm frame might be considered a medium size by one brand, but a large by another.
Bicycle adjustment margins
Some types of bikes, like gravel bikes, offer a wide range of adjustments, adapting to different body types. Other models, however, have limitations in this regard. This is an important aspect to consider.
