Our Strasbourg is an ode to an unforgettable stage victory in the 1971 Tour de France in which Eddy Merckx confirmed his class during a sprint against Roger De Vlaeminck on a dirt track.
The St is the steel version of the Strasbourg. Steel is more budget-friendly than carbon. It is durable, stiff and yet comfortable. Compared to aluminium, steel has more elasticity, resulting in more comfort. The cabling is not integrated, making maintenance easier.
Thanks to its gravel geometry, the Strasbourg offers comfort, stability and control even on the most barbaric roads.
The Strasbourg St is perfect for the gravel rider looking for a versatile and comfortable bike.

The Strasbourg gravel fork is ready for any adventure you can throw at it. The fork has three extra mounts on each fork leg that allow you to carry extra luggage or water bottles. If you ride in foul weather, you can also mount mud guards using the mud guard specific mounting points. The tapered steerer ensures reactive handling.

The Strasbourg St is versatile. Tyres up to 45 mm fit a 1 x setup. With a 2x setup, tyres up to 42 mm fit. Moreover, you can equip the bike entirely as you wish thanks to the many mounting points. These can be found on the top and down tubes, but also on the front fork.
So you can finish your bike entirely to your own taste: with mudguards, a bag on the top tube, a third water bottle for long tours,... You decide it all yourself to suit your rides.

You can mount a luggage carrier and/or mudguards. So you can turn your Strasbourg St into a travel bike, commuter bike or adventure bike.
