Metallic colours are the latest trend with gold, silver and copper colours to be found at almost all bike brands. But this half brown copper, half black matte finish on the Gran Turismo GR X looks very smart. This 2026 model was introduced last year as the top range gravel bike of BIXS. To achieve one thing: maximum speed.

The carbon frame is light (990 grams) and stiff and has a gravel-specific geometry. It ensures both a fast and controlled ride on mixed terrain. The flexing seat stays and slim seat post offer comfort and traction in the rear. Tyre clearance is up to 42 mm.

The integrated carbon cockpit is aerodynamically optimized and comes with a concealed mount for your computer.

The Gran Turismo range consists of the GR2 (Rival), the GR1 (Force) and this GR X (RED) build. The GR X is the lightest (7.5 kg), although the weight of the GR2 (8 kg) is more than acceptable. Prices* vary from CHF. 3.990 for the GR2 up to CHF. 7.490 for the GR X.
