The new Palta sits firmly in the middle, and I think that's a good thing. It offers a light carbon frameset with enough aero influence to go really fast, quick-handling geometry that's still plenty capable on the roughest gravel tracks, ample tire clearance to get far off the beaten track, and enough carrying capacity to handle almost any bikepacking trip you can imagine. So maybe don't feel like you have to have a different gravel bike for every different type of gravel riding.

At the heart of the GREVIL MX is directly from Pinarello's Dogma XC playbook. A 67.75° head angle and 101mm of trail mirror the front-end numbers of the DOGMA XC hardtail. That slack, confidence-inspiring front end pairs with the Pinarellos' in-house, flagship MOST Talon Ultra Light integrated cockpit. The result is a lower, more compact riding position, and it should keep the GREVIL MX fast and efficient on hardpack and smoother terrain.

Built on their full-carbon Seigla frame with 3rd gen leaf-sprung fork, the Ultimate R dials up the build with a few key upgrades from the standard Ultimate build, including: Fizik Vento Argo R3 Adaptive Saddle (140mm) Zipp 303 XPLR SW Hookless wheels Goodyear Peak SL Race 2.25″ MTB tires The addition of a 3D-printed saddle is a nice touch, and Fizik's are very comfortable.

Both carbon and aluminum frames will retain the same numbering, with the 6 Series for aluminum and the 8 Series for carbon. Within each of those series, Focus offers three different build options. The Atlas 6 Series and 8 Series both feature multiple mounting points. From the frame to the fork, Atlas allows multiple bags (and racks) to be mounted all over the bike.
