Cycles Cadence Gravel Eon“Cadence, French high-end bicycle manufactured, release a brand-new model, the Gravel EON. Limited to 20 units, this revolutionary bike embodies the perfect harmony between artisanal craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology.” – Cycles Cadence
3D Innovation
“The Gravel EON marks a world first by fully utilizing 3D printing in 17-4PH stainless steel. Cadence has invested nearly two years in developing innovative junction parts for its frame and fork, pushing the limits of stainless steel. These complex-shaped parts optimize force transmission and elevate aesthetics to a level never before achieved with stainless steel. These parts are printed using selective laser melting (SLM) technology to ensure a high level of precision. The 3D parts are TIG welded with Reynolds 931 tubes.”
« Super Inox » Benefits
“All 3D parts and tubes are exclusively made of 17-4PH stainless steel, the highest grade available in terms of mechanical strength.”
“Beyond its impressive properties, stainless steel provides incomparable sensations. More resistant than steel, more durable than carbon, and stiffer than titanium, stainless steel is a material of choice. To make the most of this material, Cadence drew on its bespoke experience. Thus, the Gravel EON is dimensioned to offer a perfect balance between smoothness and stiffness.”
Ultra-Clean Design
“The Gravel EON stands out with its harmonious proportions and ultra-sleek lines. Cadence developed a unique system for integrating cables and seat clamp, eliminating any visible cables while maintaining the finesse of stainless steel. The raw stainless-steel finish highlights the bike’s robust and authentic character.”
« Adventure Race » Geometry
“With its compact chainstays, upright seat tube, more open steerer angle, and elevated bottom bracket, the “Adventure Race” geometry of the Gravel EON combines the adventure bikes comfort with the race bikes performance.”
Essentials of a Modern Gravel Bike
“In addition to its “Adventure Race” geometry, tire clearance of 700x50mm, and sustainable design, the Gravel EON includes all the essentials of a modern gravel bike. Compatible with the latest standards such as the SRAM UDH universal derailleur hanger and flat-mount calipers, it features unique characteristics in the steel world like its BB30 bottom bracket with external bearings.”
A Unique Experience
“EON excels across a variety of terrains and uses, from gravel racing to bikepacking adventures. What probably sets it apart the most from other gravel bikes is its extraordinary riding comfort, its ability to ride fast, its excellent stability, and above all its design. In short, EON is a unique piece, an exceptional gravel bike for extraordinary adventures.”
