U.S. Built Custom Bicycles in Titanium and Titanium-Carbon Mix
Seven has been building gravel bikes for more than 20 years, although in the early days they were all built on our National Championship winning Mudhoney cyclocross platform. When we introduced our Evergreen gravel bikes in 2012, it was really a matter of capturing the dirt-loving zeitgeist with a model name and a renewed focus on what a purpose-built gravel bike could be. Every year since that introduction we've evolved the Evergreen with gravel-specific forks and cutting-edge features like dropped and chopped chainstays. We won Best Gravel Bike at the North American Handbuilt Bike Show in 2019, a confirmation that we're at the forefront of gravel bike design.
As with all the bikes we do, there is a dizzying amount of choice, but relax, we're here to guide you. We've put together some value-packed packages to simplify things, or, if you want to dig deep into the details, we're happy to go along on your design adventure, too.
Show me Seven's gravel bike categories!
Let's cut to the chase. The majority of Seven riders choose one of these setups, or a close variant:
If these don't quite match your taste, read on to find the perfect bike for your gravel and mixed-terrain dream. Or, contact us with questions or requests. We're here to help.
Pricing: We offer hundreds of gravel bike models through a combination of frame design, parts kit options, and upgrades. To determine the price of your perfect Seven choose your type of riding, then your preferred parts kit, and finally your buildout and details. Seven's complete custom titanium gravel bikes start at $5,895 for a dirt-capable setup.
Seven offers many gravel bike designs with lots of parts kit options, so you can be sure to get precisely what you want. As always, everything we build is custom, so we can mix and match any of these classes, or maybe even create a whole new classification for you.

When 'gravel' first emerged as a category we were bemused. We'd been building drop-bar bikes to ride off-road for decades already. The advent of good disc brakes changed the game, though. Suddenly, we weren't making all-day riding cyclocross bikes anymore, we were into something new, and we loved it. We have built thousands of gravel bikes over the last 7 seasons, in an astounding array of configurations, for riders all over the planet.
Seven has a wider and deeper range of gravel bikes than most companies, large or small. What makes our gravel bikes different is:
The current hot setup for gravel is bikes that work with both 700c and 650b wheels. We offer dual wheel designs in four bike series:
Also, Seven builds every model in either wheel size. We build each bike to order so we can deliver what's truly best for you with no other agenda.
Determining your ideal gravel bike wheel size is fairly straightforward. We expect most to choose 700c, although smaller riders will enjoy 650b with no sacrifice to their ride experience. Some riders like a bike designed to take both sizes. They'll choose 700c for “normal" conditions and move to 650b when things get rougher, because they can run a larger volume tire.
Pricing: To determine the price of your perfect Seven choose your class of riding, then your preferred parts kit, and finally your buildout and details. Complete bikes start at $6,695.
Whether you're signed up for today's new breed of gravel races or you just like to go fast over any surface, our gravel race classification is where you want to be. These are our lightest and most agile gravel bikes. We also dig into our gravel engineering tool kit to apply our most progressive design elements to these bikes.
Super-fast, ultralight, agile
Seven's XX series is the absolute lightest design we offer. For those who want a bike to take on the wildly varying conditions of today's premier gravel race events, like Dirty Kanza, the Belgian Waffle Ride, the Landrun 100, Barry Roubaix, D2R2, or Rasputitsa. The Gravel Race Max packs features into an ultralight frame. The chopped drive side chainstay produces our shortest wheelbase, while maintaining clearance for 40 m tries. The XX butted titanium frame tubing adds to the bike's dynamic compliance and gives the rider the ability to "body" the bike in any conditions. Short chainstays add traction and acceleration to the mix. See the full bike series details here.
Race-tuned, smooth, solid
The Paradigm is a balance of speed and handling. This bike features an asymmetric, "dropped" drive-side chainstay, to keep the rear of the bike short, enhancing acceleration and handling agility. Seven's Moto seat stays, curved in three planes, add both comfort and traction. If you're looking for one race bike to do it all, this is probably the bike. Contact us to learn more about this bike.
Endurance racing, stable, durable
This bike evolves the classic gravel bike with an asymmetric, “dropped" drive-side chainstay, to keep the rear of the bike short, enhancing acceleration and handling agility. The Gravel Race Grinder's straight-gauge titanium is tough enough to handle anything you can throw at it. Contact us to learn more about this bike.
Our Explorer Class gravel bikes are what you've come to expect when you think gravel bike. Geometries are aimed at comfort and capability. Chain and seat stays are symmetrical and in-line to produce an intuitive ride experience. Proven. Simple. Forever bikes. Everything you need and nothing you don't.
Simple, agile, light
This bike is stripped down for one job: proven speed and durability. We've incoroprated our race geometry -- agile and fast -- into our venerable Evergreen S frame. The result is unfettered speed. Contact us to learn more about this bike.
Predictable, stable, comfortable
A proven design takes the full array of desired characteristics and places them in balance with one another, balancing long ride comfort against maximized power transfer, and light weight against long term ruggedness. See the full bike series details here.
Rough terrain, comfort, stability, out all day, versatile
The Evergreen Explorer Forever delivers the rugged dependability and go anywhere capability you're looking for in a simple, no-nonsense package. Our most durable and versatile gravel bike. Contact us to learn more about this bike.
These are our do-it-all gravel bikes. Made to roll fast on pavement, to handle well on dirt roads, and even to take on single-track with competence and flair. These are designed around big tire 700c wheels or both 650b and 700c wheel systems. They're meant to give you the widest ranging riding options and support long stretches on the bike.
Fast, light, balanced handling
For those who want the most advanced every day riding gravel bike we make. The dropped 1" drive side chainstay produces a tight wheelbase while maintaining clearance for tires up to 45 mm. It's a bike with real get up and go, and industry leading agility. Contact us to learn more about this bike.
Fast, smooth, balanced performance
The ARAD Paradigm ups the game with asymmetric 1" chainstays, producing a drivetrain 50-60% stiffer than a typical titanium frame. That added efficiency really pays off the farther you get from home. Double-butted frame tubing makes the rest of the frame comfortable enough to sustain all-day efforts without leaving you bodily exhausted. See the full bike series details here.
Stable, versatile, tough
The proverbial Swiss-Army Knife of bikes. Do anything, anytime, anywhere. The asymmetric drop outs and chainstays lighten the frame and stiffen the drivetrain. Straight Gauge titanium makes the most durable frame in our lineup. Contact us to learn more about this bike.
