No reviews yet Write a Review

Lighter. Simpler. Sharper. The new GS1 Rival XPLR is built for one thing — speed.

In gravel racing, speed is a constantly evolving equation. The latest generation of the GS1 meets this challenge with increased tire clearance — up to 700x56c in the front, 700x50c in the rear —  a lighter, stiffer frame, and an all-new aerodynamic front end.

 

All anchored by our signature Ventum Race Geometry, a geo trusted by some of the world’s top gravel racers.  Fast, but stable. Snappy, but predictable. It’s road bike speed dipped in gravel bike capability. The perfect choice for those driven to go further, faster. 

 

Don’t just ride. Ride quick.

ABOUT THE VENTUM GS1 RIVAL XPLR

 

Shaped by our obsession with speed, the third generation GS1 is our clearest expression of what a gravel bike should be: simple, fast, and focused. 

 

To make it faster, we increased tire clearance, cut weight, and improved aerodynamics — all without compromising the thing that matters most: handling. 

 

What didn’t change? The geometry. We kept our proven Ventum Race Geometry — aggressive, with a tucked rear end and stable steering. Fitting big tires — especially in the rear — presents real design challenges. Many brands have compromised handling in the name of clearance. We didn’t. 


This version of the GS1 gravel bike comes with the all-new SRAM Rival XPLR 13-speed electronic groupset and ZIPP 303 XPLR S wheels.

 

Fast, but stable. Snappy, yet predictable. It’s road bike speed, dipped in gravel bike capability. A bike for those driven to go further, faster. 

WHAT YOU GET

 

• SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 1x13-speed electronic drivetrain 
• ZIPP 303 XPLR S carbon race wheels
• ZIPP Service Course cockpit
• A  full carbon fiber frame with intuitive internal cable routing 
• Tire clearance to700x56c in the front and  700x50c in the rear


VENTUM CUSTOMER SUPPORT + RIDE READY SHIPPING

 

Each Ventum bike begins life at our facility in Heber City, Utah, at the doorstep of some of the best riding this side of… anywhere. 

 

No matter the build, any bike we send out into the world is first built, checked, and thoroughly tuned by a professional mechanic. With a bill of good health, it’s then repackaged into a specially-made ride-ready box designed to transport the bike to the rider with as little disassembly as possible. In the end, all you need to do is attach the front wheel, insert the seat post, and dial in your fit.  

 

We’re here to help along the way. From picking your bike to support down the road, the Ventum customer support team is here for anything you need. 

VENTUM GS1 RIVAL XPLR FEATURES 

AN ALL-NEW FRONT END

Taking cues from the new Tempus TT bike, an hourglass head tube utilizes functional airfoils to smooth airflow over rider and bike. Because in modern gravel racing, aero matters.  

VENTUM RACE GEOMETRY

The GS1’s geometry is something we hold near and dear to our hearts at Ventum. Adored by our pro riders and obsessed over by our engineers, it’s quick in corners yet wonderfully predictable and stable at high speeds over variable terrain. 

FOR TIRES, BIGGER IS BETTER 

The new GS1 takes up to 700x56c tires in the front and 700x50c tires in the rear — plenty big for today’s knobbier, fatter gravel tires.

Home Reviews 1

"Ironman Sweden was my first race on my new bike from Ventum, a Shimano Dura Ace 12-speed. The aero comfort is easy to adjust to the perfect fit and with the fantastic disc brakes it is easy to keep a good rhythm through the corners. With the Ventum One, I achieved my fastest bike split at Ironman Sweden."

- Jesper Svensson

“There is nothing I would rather use to sail the gravel seas of eastern Nebraska than my GS1 (except for maybe a tandem). Its smooth comfort allowed me to carry my speed and momentum over the tops of every one of the endless rollers on the Gravel Worlds course. I was able to open gaps through the loose corners all day long, thanks to the bike’s stability and nimble handling, and there’s just no arguing with a 22 mph average speed over 150 miles, with 11,000 feet of elevation gain, on a course that’s 98% gravel, on my way to 2nd place out of a very talented pro field."

- John Borstelmann

"The GS1 is everything I want in a gravel bike. The combination of smooth cruising on pavement and steady rolling over rowdy terrain makes it the most dynamic bike. From champagne gravel to chunky single track, my GS1 has performed beautifully through it all. Let’s not forget that it has ample tire clearance and is aesthetically stunning!"

- Lindsey Stevenson
