Bergamont Grandurance 2026: Photos, Price, and Technical Analysis of Bergamont's Gravel Platforms
The Bergamont Grandurance Model Year 2026 (MY26) range is positioned as a multi-role "All-Road" platform that balances the sporty performance of a gravel bike with the functionality required for commuting and bikepacking. The offering is structured into three main variants: the standard Grandurance, equipped for road/gravel use; the RD (Randonneur) or EQ (Equipped) versions, complete with urban accessories; and the FB (Flatbar) configuration featuring a straight handlebar.
Grandurance RD (Randonneur/Equipped): Functional Versatility
The Grandurance RD (or EQ) variant is approved for road use due to its comprehensive standard equipment.
Equipment: The standard configuration includes fenders, a kickstand, a rear rack with the Snap-it system, and an LED lighting system powered by a dynamo hub (e.g., B&M IQ-XS 80 Lux on the front for the RD 10).
Frame: Available in ultra lite AL-6061 aluminum (e.g., RD 10, RD 20, RD 30) or carbon fiber (as featured in some EQ versions).
Geometry: It retains the sporty DNA of the non-equipped versions, offering agility and responsiveness while ensuring overall stability.
Technical Details (Examples):
Grandurance RD 10: AL-6061 Frame, BGM Allroad carbon Fork, Shimano GRX RD-RX820 2x12 Groupset, Shimano GRX BR-RX820 hydraulic disc brakes, Weight 13.02 kg, Max. System Weight 130 kg.
Grandurance RD 20: AL-6061 Frame, Grandurance alloy Fork, Shimano 105 RD-R7000 2x11 Groupset, Shimano 105 BR-R7170 hydraulic disc brakes, Weight 13.6 kg, Max. System Weight 130 kg.
Grandurance Carbon Platform (Model 10 and Limited Edition)
The flagship Grandurance 10 model is built on a new SCM carbon platform, engineered for optimal stability, control, and strength.
Integrated Stashbox Compartment: The main innovation is the storage compartment integrated into the downtube (Stashbox). This compartment pre-contains a Syncros Matchbox multitool and two internal pouches for a Syncros mini-pump, tire levers, and a chain tool (Matchbox 5 Multitool), along with an original Schwalbe inner tube featuring the Clik valve (SCV).
Grandurance 10: Super lite SCM-Carbon Frame, Shimano GRX RD-RX822 1x12 Groupset, Weight 10.1 kg, Max. System Weight 130 kg.
Cross-Cutting Features and Geometry
Mounting Points: Versatility is significantly enhanced by the presence of multiple mounting points on the frame and fork (including the fork blades), suitable for bottle cages, bikepacking bags, locks, or auxiliary racks (e.g., Bergamont Front Carrier #294552).
Gravel Geometry: The geometry is optimized for a balance between riding pleasure and performance, ensuring stability and precision. This makes the bike suitable for sporty rides, commuting, and long-distance touring.
Tire Clearance: Maximum tire clearance has been increased to 50 mm (40 mm with fenders installed), allowing for the use of wider tires for improved control and smoothness on rough terrain (e.g., Schwalbe G-One R 45-622 on the Grandurance 10).
Flatbar (FB) Option: The FB variant (e.g., Grandurance FB 10 EQ) features a straight handlebar, which enhances stability and control on technical terrain and offers superior long-distance comfort for riders less accustomed to drop bars.
