KTM Gravelator 15

KTM Gravelator 15 – Entry-Level Gravel Bike with Shimano GRX Upgrades

The Gravelator has long been known in the KTM range. However, for the coming season, everything is different. First, the frame has been completely redesigned. Second, the series has been expanded with numerous additional models. From now on, every rider will truly find their dream gravel bike at KTM—offering a very attractive price-performance ratio in both carbon and aluminum versions. The updated, modern geometry convinces with a perfect blend of sportiness and comfort. The aluminum models, with a higher head tube, provide a slightly more upright seating position. The basic equipment includes everything a gravel bike needs: robust components, wheels with off-road-ready tires, and numerous mounting points for bikepacking accessories. For everyday cyclists, commuters, and touring riders, the Gravelator is also available from the factory with a lighting system, fenders, and a luggage rack.

The Gravelator 15 pairs a lightweight aluminum frame with a carbon fork, forming a high-quality foundation—perfect for the performance-oriented Shimano GRX components designed specifically for gravel riding. Robust and precise, even under the toughest conditions. The 1x12 drivetrain from the GRX RX822 group offers a wide gear range, effectively complemented by a hydraulic GRX braking system. A look at the solid wheels confirms: this gravel machine is ready for your high-energy adventures.

High-quality frames made of aluminum or carbon

In the price segment up to around 1600 euros, the heart of the Gravelator is a premium 6061 aluminum frame. Bikes in this category are labeled with numbers—the smaller the number, the higher the quality of the model. In the Pro series, starting at around 1700 euros, begins the entry into the carbon class. The model ranges continue upward with the designations Elite, Master, Prime, and Exonic. Carbon gravel bikes offer particularly high riding comfort thanks to their vibration-absorbing properties. The KTM name also stands for excellent workmanship when it comes to carbon frames. And by the way: all Gravelator bikes come with a carbon fork—even the aluminum entry-level models! This is far from standard. In addition, the rear end is always equipped with a nearly indestructible UDH derailleur hanger.
