Fondriest ARDENNE Sram Rival AXS 1x13 Vision Metron

Maurizio Fondriest's new Gravel Race, shown here with a SRAM RIVAL AXS E1 1x13-speed groupset, Vision Metron 5D Evo monocoque handlebar, and Vision SC48mm Carbon wheels.

The Fondriest Ardenne takes its name from an iconic cycling region, home to great classics like the Flèche Wallonne, won by Maurizio Fondriest in 1993, and today the ideal backdrop for the world of gravel. Fast, bold, and responsive, the Ardenne was created to transcend the boundaries of the road and tackle any terrain: from the most technical sections to long dirt roads, from challenging climbs to endurance adventures.

The premium T800, T700, T1000, and M40J carbon fiber frame combines lightness, stiffness, and comfort, thanks in part to the unique seat tube design that reduces vibrations. The modern, race-focused geometry ensures control and precision, while the generous clearance for tires up to 700x45c ensures uncompromising versatility.

Every detail is designed for those seeking performance and functionality: fully integrated wiring, a smart compartment in the down tube for tools and accessories, and compatibility with the latest-generation derailleurs thanks to the UDH road dropout.

Available in the TEAM color scheme: glossy white, blue, and purple, five sizes, and various carbon wheel builds, the Ardenne represents the perfect balance between racing spirit and a thirst for adventure.
