Wide Gravel Tires Fit! Well equipped with 38c tires and fits Up to 50c (1.9") Wide for a capable and comfortable ride on variable roads and groomed trails.
This Liberty GRV XTL frame is precision welded from specially shaped lightweight and strong aluminum tubing. Gravity's own special CXSeries tube-set. Look at the engineered top tube and bi-oval downtube. Designed for responsive performance with a comfortable ride quality. Semi-compact geometry allows for a more comfortable and upright position and easy straddling. Still aero-enough for some serious riding. Powerful Caliper Brakes plus rear rack mounts make this a perfect commuter.
Compare this to the Trek, Giant, Specialized Caliper Brake, gravel/adventure road bikes that sell for $800 to $900. Most have straight blade forks and aluminum frames, many have semi-compact frames

Gravity Liberty GRV XTL Real Customer Reviews
A. J. "..love this bike and it rides real well… original shifters worked well and the drops were nice...around 500 miles on this bike and it (rode) pretty good for the money. Why spend thousands when you can get a quality bike for cheap."
T. S. "...most of the (wide tire road) options with Caliper Brakes available from the big manufacturers were beyond what I wanted to spend ($1200+)….so I turned to the internets(!) and discovered bikesdirect.com.…came about 90% ready...put the front wheel and handlebars on, I had to air up the tires, put the pedals on, and adjust some things (brakes, seat, shifters, derailers). But bikes are easy...I was up and riding within 30 minutes….
Since this bike is so well rounded, I can run errands with it during the week, commute to work on it, and take off some unnecessary bits for a long ride on the weekend. It’s almost like fitness disguised as fun..."
P.H. "...The Nashbar CX bike is probably the cheapest fat-tire road bike, and it was still $250 MORE than the Gravity..…$800 would get me a Nashbar Tourer with Sora 10spd, but that bike weighs close to 30lbs."
