Reviews & Ratings
The Spcycle G068 is a carbon gravel frameset that closely copies the Canyon Grail geometry. It features a T47 threaded bottom bracket (86.5mm shell width), SRAM UDH rear derailleur hanger, 27.2mm seatpost, and a maximum tire clearance of 700x47C (with 50mm possible in dry conditions). The frame is available in sizes XS to XL, with a weight of ~1120g (frame) and ~470g (fork) for size M. It offers two fork options: a flip-chip version with adjustable offset (50/55mm) and a clean version without bolt holes. The frame uses EPS molding and T1000 carbon in some areas. Pricing is higher than other Spcycle gravel frames due to the larger front triangle and use of T1000 carbon. Build quality is generally good, but some users report paint imperfections and the need to face brake mounts. The frame is praised for its stiffness, ride quality, and versatility, but criticized for lack of downtube storage, heavy weight, and fork flip-chip issues on early models.
AI Summary
Pros
- Stiff and responsive frame with excellent power transfer, comparable to high-end gravel bikes.
- Generous tire clearance: fits 700x47C or 650bx54mm (measured) with room for 50mm in some conditions.
- UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) compatibility, allowing use of SRAM Transmission derailleurs.
- Good geometry for a do-it-all bike: stable on descents, yet responsive for road riding.
- Available with clean fork (no bolt holes) for a sleek look, and semi-integrated cable routing option.
- EPS molding technology results in smooth internal finish and clean cable routing.
Cons
- No downtube storage, which is a common feature on modern gravel frames.
- Relatively heavy frame and fork (frame ~1120g, fork ~470g+), especially compared to high-end carbon frames.
- Flip-chip on early fork models is poorly retained on the non-driveside, causing clicking noises over time.
- Paint quality is subpar: overspray on brake mounts, bottle bosses, and easily scratched.
- Bottom bracket and brake mounts often require facing due to paint buildup.
- Sizing runs large (copies Canyon Grail sizing); many users size down compared to typical road/gravel frames.
