"Ari Bikes has launched the All-New Shafer 3.0, an exciting evolution of an already exceptional gravel bike, built on the success of its predecessor and redesigned with significant upgrades. Gravel is trending towards bigger tires, suspension forks, and downtube storage (sounds like an XC bike to me), and Ari Bikes is all in on the trends with the new Shafer 3.0. Thanks to the recent redesign and build packages, could this be one of the most capable and best value gravel bikes on the market?"
"The Shafer 3.0 builds upon the versatility of the Shafer 2.0 and adopts the standards set by the current trends in gravel cycling. The Shafer 3.0 sheds over 200 grams from the previous generation through refined tube shapes and junctions that cut weight without compromising strength or compliance. The size medium frame weighs just 928 grams, paired with a 491-gram carbon fork, and now includes expanded tire clearance up to 29×2.25″ (700x58c)."
The Shafer 3.0 is a redesigned gravel bike emphasizing versatility for exploration rather than pure racing. The frame and fork weight have been reduced substantially, with the size medium frame at 928 grams and a 491-gram carbon fork, and overall weight savings exceeding 200 grams from the previous generation. Tire clearance now accommodates up to 29×2.25" (700x58c), enabling wider rims and improved traction, control, and confidence across varied terrain. The design adopts current gravel trends such as larger tires, suspension-friendly features, and downtube storage, positioning the bike as a capable, value-oriented option for modern gravel riders.
