The Gravel AL e is a lightweight electric gravel bike that looks, rides, and feels just like a non-powered gravel bike. With the extra power of the X35+ motor when you need it most, you can explore further into the forest, conquer the toughest mountains or seek out your next off-road adventure. Extend your rides further, blitz through trails faster, and experience the freedom to do what you love most, exploring the paths yet to be discovered.
With its powerful motor system, huge tyre clearance and off-road ready components, the Gravel AL e was created to make gravel adventures more accessible. Its comfortable off-road focused geometry and plentiful luggage capacity ensures that the Gravel AL e’s versatility extends to weekends of fun-filled off-road exploration. With the option to add a range extender you can effectively increase the available range by up to 70%, allowing you to ride further and faster than you ever thought possible.
A sleek and lightweight MAHLE SmartBike Systems X35+ hub drive motor and a Panasonic 250Wh battery hidden within the frames downtube provides up to 250W of assistance to each pedal stroke, all at the press of a button. The extra assistance feels as natural as a non-powered gravel bike and will help you to effortlessly navigate the toughest off-road terrain or conquer any climb.
Designed for off-road riding and conquering extreme gravel tracks, a gravel optimised geometry offers a longer and lower frame for a more planted feel over technical terrain. An oversized 56mm semi-integrated headset allows for the cables to be routed internally for sleek, clean aesthetics and are combined with a shorter stem and gravel-specific flared handlebars to provide greater confidence and control with the added practicality of barbag clearance.
Multiple frame mounts for even the most extreme of bike packing requirements. These include 2 sets of water bottle mounts inside the main triangle as well as mounts for a rear rack. Plus, there are ‘carryall’ mounts on the front fork that allow the attachment of oversize cages for items such as dry bags, ground mats and sleeping bags.
Whether you prefer your tyres wide and aggressive or narrow and fast, you can now have your cake and eat it. There’s huge clearance for 650bx47mm or 700cx45mm tyres and a wide selection of tyres with multiple tread patterns available in BikeBuilder which offer the perfect solution for all types of gravel terrain.
Internal cable routing offers sleek, clean looks and protects the cables from dirt and grime. This also extends to the possibility to upgrade to an internally routed dropper post to make the ride as wild as you like and compatibility with Shimano Di2 electronic gearing.

The frame has a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects. All other parts have the standard manufacturer's warranty.
An easy-to-use button situated on the top tube enables you to select the level of assistance that you require and also displays the remaining battery capacity.
The top tube button has an LED surround that displays the remaining battery capacity at a glance using a simple colour code. White=75% or more, Green=50-75%, Orange=25-50%, Red=15-25%, Slow Red Flash=10-15% and rapid Red Flash=10% or less remaining. You can also keep track of battery life using the SmartBike Systems companion app on a smartphone.
Yes, our e-bikes are pedal-assisted models which always require rider input.
There’s no need to worry, being a pedal-assisted model means that you are in full control at all times. When a power assist level is selected the motor simply provides a little extra boost while you pedal. It does not take over.
No, pedal-assisted electric bikes do not require you to hold a valid driver’s licence, pay any form of road tax or take out insurance. Though it is always good practice to have some form of insurance on all bikes.
To charge the battery you simply plug the bike into a convenient household power socket using the supplied charger and cable. An optional range extender can also be used to charge the main battery if a socket is not close at hand.
The electric components used on our e-bikes are IP54 rated. They are protected against splashing, but not against full immersion. The electric bike should never be subjected to pressurised water from a hose pipe or jet wash, failure to adhere to this may result in damage to the electrical components that comprise the motor system . When transporting the bike on the outside of a vehicle a waterproof cover should be used to ensure the protection of the electronic components from water ingress during transportation.
The range of the Gravel AL e is dependent upon a number of factors including rider weight, route profile, tyre pressures and temperature. A rider of 90kg, on a varied route including climbs, descents and flats can expect an approximate range of up to 60 miles. An optional range extender is also available for all our e-bikes which adds an extra 70% of available range.
Yes, the battery can easily be accessed through the bottom bracket shell by a MAHLE certified technician. The press fit bottom bracket must be removed to facilitate removal of the battery.
Like any battery, it will degrade over time, in this case, after approximately 500 charging cycles. Please take some time to read our battery care blog in which we outline the best practices to maximise the performance of your e-bike's battery.
Yes, the government removed the £1000 ceiling which now makes obtaining an e-bike on Cycle to Work more accessible and beneficial than ever.
Yes, all the cables are routed internally and includes compatibility with Shimano Di2 electronic systems.
With the battery being situated within the downtube it is not physically possible to route the cable for a stealth dropper through the frame.
There is clearance for 650bx47mm or 700cx45mm tyres.
Though our bikes are often supplied with tubeless compatible tyres we do not set them up that way. We fit inner tubes to every build.
All bikes are supplied with inner tubes fitted as standard.
Yes, there are discreet mounts for a rear pannier rack as well as ‘carryall’ mounts on the front forks to enable the fitting of oversize cages for rolled up luggage such as sleeping bags, ground mats etc.
Yes, there are eyelets on the frame and forks for the fitting of full coverage mudguards.
Two, one situated on the down tube and the other on the seat tube.
Yes, thanks to its fully internal cable routing the frame is compatible with electronic groupsets.
We recommend a total rider and bike weight of 120kgs.
The Gravel AL e requires a Press Fit BB86 style of bottom bracket.
The Gravel AL e is compatible with 27.2mm seat posts.
The frame takes flat mount disc brakes.
The front forks require a thru-axle of dimensions 100/122/M12*P1.5, the rear is a bolt on axle.
Due to the many different systems people use we do not supply pedals with bikes, but you can find a great selection of pedals here.
The motor only kicks in if you need it, so work hard and no help required, so not really an electric bike more electrically assisted. Perfect
The build quality is great and its great fun to ride.
The Passport Lug-Kage is a lightweight variation on a front fork carrier. It allows you to “Lug” such extra items as: a sleeping bag, an Airbed, a large tarpaulin roll, or a Thermos flask etc. on your expedition tourer.

Extend your ride and travel further than ever before with the MAHLE battery extender. This handy addition takes the place of an existing bottle cage mount and plugs directly into the charger port above the bikes bottom bracket and when utilised extends the range by an impressive 70% . When combined with the internally mounted main battery it almost doubles the capacity to a total of 456W/h, allowing you to ride on full assist for up to an extra 2 hours.
