Whether taking on an off-road race or getting wild on winding roads, Ceres is the sportiest bike in our adventurous lineup. Centered around our light and lively Thermocrom steel frame, Ceres is built to feel nimble—and made to be completely customized to suit your style, from components to color choice. Pick your parts, select your shade, and get ready for a future filled with fun, fast gravel outings with Ceres.
The Thermocrom tube set takes our frame construction to the next level. By heat treating the steel, we can strategically use thinner-walled tubes in certain areas, reducing weight without compromising durability. We can tailor the classic ride characteristics of each frame to its specific application, optimizing weight and stiffness. Thermocrom shares virtually all the properties of our Dedacciai tubes, but represents a massive reduction in the overall carbon footprint of your bike by reducing the shipping of raw materials and tubes between countries.
The UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) dropout is standardized and simplifies the compatibility of different derailleurs. Thanks to the standardized design, replacement is quick and uncomplicated - ideal in the event of defects. The UDH also improves shifting performance thanks to optimized alignment and protects the rear derailleur in the event of impacts, as it can twist. This robust, future-proof solution significantly simplifies maintenance and spare parts procurement.
Our Performance Gravel geometry offers a sporty ride with the unique feel of a steel frame. The frame performs equally well on asphalt and gravel roads. Short chainstays ensure fast acceleration, while the low bottom bracket drop ensures stability. The moderate reach enables a comfortable riding position, ideal for long tours. There is space for bikepacking bags and bottle cages in the frame triangle.
The choice depends heavily on the intended use and personal preferences. Both have their own advantages, depending on what type of trail you prefer and what your comfort and performance requirements are.
A carbon fork is light, efficient and low-maintenance, making it particularly suitable for riders who prefer direct power transmission, precise steering and a low overall bike weight. However, it does not absorb shocks, which limits comfort on uneven surfaces. In addition, a carbon fork is more susceptible to damage from external impacts such as stone chips or bumps.
A suspension fork, on the other hand, offers significantly more comfort as it absorbs bumps and thus ensures a more pleasant ride. It also improves traction and control on rough terrain. However, it is heavier and also requires regular maintenance. In addition, a small amount of pedal power can be lost due to the suspension.
Conclusion: If you want to save weight, a carbon fork is a good choice. For a more comfortable ride, a suspension fork is the better option. Choose the fork that best suits your riding style and requirements.
