G!RO's favourite steel gravel bike is back with a new look. Introducing the mesmerising Ninja Mermaid colourway. This extraordinary hue is the ultimate chameleon, inspired by the depths of the ocean and the magic of legendary ninjas and mermaids.
At first glance, the Ninja Mermaid may appear almost black, cloaking Kev in a veil of mystery. But don't be fooled, for when the sun's golden rays dance upon the frame, a breathtaking transformation occurs. Suddenly, your Kevin of Steel glistens with an explosion of emerald green sparkles, shimmering like a treasure trove hidden beneath the waves. The iridescent sparkles reflect the sunlight like a thousand tiny mirrors, each casting its own spell, creating an ever-changing, dynamic visual symphony. You'll feel like you're gliding through an aquatic wonderland as you enter gravel paradise.
Many of the Curve & G!RO team have traversed New Zealand, Switzerland, Swaziland, Cuba, Croatia, and more on this magnificent bicycle.
CONTACT G!RO TO PLACE YOUR ORDERThe Ride 400 fork has clearance for wheel options based on your riding style. For example, Kevin can run either 700c wheels with 32–45 mm tyres, best suited for commuting, gravel, and cyclocross, or if you’re looking to tackle some rougher terrain with more traction, use 650b (27.5”) wheels fitted with 1.8–2.2” tyres. Curve has the above wheel options in both carbon and aluminum available.
The custom 4130 steel yoke design allows Kevin to run some super wide gravel tyres in two wheel sizes, and also stiffens the BB area to avoid frame flex under load.
Our Ride 400 fork, originally titled GXR fork, was built to complement the Kevin of Steel and titanium GXR frameset. Featuring 3 x 12 mm M5 mounting points on each blade, the Ride 400 fork can accommodate anything from extra water bottles, our Rocket Pooches, or any other micro pannier or fork-specific bag.
