Many gravel bikes tend to feel slow and sluggish on pavement, but the Dark Matter's frame geometry keeps the handling lively and sharp. The 1x12 Shimano GRX RX822 setup is brilliant. You get the massive gear range needed for brutal 15% gravel climbs without the weight or chain-drop worries of a front derailleur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAggressive Gravel Performance.
