ICAN Graro Carbon Gravel Bike Frame

Weight1095g
Year2024
CategoryFrame

The ICAN Graro Carbon Gravel Bike Frame is widely praised as a high-value, UCI-approved carbon gravel frameset with modern features like T47 threaded bottom bracket, UDH, and internal routing. While its aggressive geometry and 45mm tire clearance suit racy gravel riding, minor paint imperfections and proprietary components are common trade-offs. Overall, it offers performance rivaling premium Western brands at a fraction of the cost.

Pros

  • High-quality carbon construction (T700, T800, T1000) with UCI approval.123
  • T47 threaded bottom bracket for reliability and standard compatibility.123
  • Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) for easy replacement and modern derailleur compatibility.123
  • Internal cable routing with split spacers for easy adjustment.12
  • Compatible with mechanical, electronic, and wireless groupsets; supports 1x or 2x chainsets.123
  • Numerous mounting points for bottles, cargo, and mudguards.123
  • Custom paint option available at a reasonable price.1
  • Good value for money compared to premium brands.134
  • Rides like a light, agile road bike; comfortable at speed off-road.1
  • Sturdy and reliable in demanding gravel races, as reported by users.5

Cons

  • Tire clearance limited to 45mm, which is narrow by modern gravel standards.123
  • Proprietary D-shaped seatpost prevents dropper post installation and limits aftermarket options.14
  • Paint quality issues: overspray, thick paint near brake mounts and bottom bracket, and clear coat scratches easily.12
  • Some loose carbon fibers inside the frame and air bubbles in epoxy around fork steerer.12
  • Warranty return shipping is on the customer after 30 days.1
  • Aggressive geometry with low stack may not suit all riders; may require stem adjustments.53
  • Integrated handlebar/stem limits customization options.4
  • No protective film on chainstay, bottom bracket, or down tube; no foam to prevent cable rattle.2

ICAN Graro Gravel Frameset - I'm Late to the Party!

The reviewer introduces the ICAN Graro Carbon Gravel Bike Frame (referred to as 'Ghero' or 'Guerrero' in the transcript) as a new gravel project sent by ICAN. He highlights its aggressive geometry, UCI approval, tire clearance up to 45mm, T47 threaded bottom bracket, UDH derailleur hanger, and mechanical groupset compatibility. He praises its fit and finish, noting it rivals premium Western brands, and considers the $899 USD price point excellent value compared to other Chinese brands. He weighs the frame at 1,111g (size 54) and notes the fork at 455g, seatpost at 171g, and integrated cockpit at 399g. He plans to build it as an all-road setup with wide rims and tires, possibly 35c Continental GP5000 tubeless.

Ride Review - Is This The Only Bike I Need? ICAN TriAero Graro Chinese Carbon Gravel & Wheeltop GeX

The reviewer discusses the ICAN Graro Carbon Gravel Bike Frame, highlighting its performance and comfort. He notes that it rides like a light, agile road bike but with larger tires, making it suitable for gravel and country lanes. He praises its comfort at speed off-road, which reduces fatigue. However, he mentions some limitations: the frame only fits up to 45mm tires, the proprietary D-shaped seat post prevents dropper post installation, and there is a tendency to wheelie on steep climbs. He also mentions that the clear coat on his custom paint job scratched easily, but suggests that stock frames might have a tougher clear coat.
