G5-X Sram Force XPLR E1 13s Vision TC45 Carbon

The Colnago G5-X SRAM Force XPLR E1 1x13 brings a purpose-built approach to modern gravel cycling, combining confident handling with the equipment needed for mixed terrain. Its monocoque carbon frame and Colnago G5-X carbon disc fork provide the foundation for a versatile setup. Integrated cable routing and an integrated headset keep the design clean, while revised geometry focuses on control and stability over rough gravel and technical descents.

This build features a SRAM Force XPLR E1 1x13 drivetrain designed around a single front chainring. A 40T crankset works with a 10-46T, 13-speed cassette, giving riders a broad choice of gears as gradients change. The rear derailleur and chain also belong to the SRAM Force XPLR E1 range. Braking is handled by SRAM Force XPLR E1 disc brakes, including matching levers and calipers, with 160 mm rotors at both ends.

Vision TC45 Carbon wheels use 45 mm carbon rims with a 23 mm internal width and tubeless-ready construction. Vision V-250 DB Centerlock hubs are paired with 24 J-bend spokes front and rear. The wheels come fitted with Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH 700x50 TLR tyres, suitable for a gravel-oriented setup. Frame clearance accommodates tyres up to a nominal 53 mm, with a stated 6 mm of clearance.

The fully integrated CC.01 Wide cockpit provides size-specific handlebar widths, while the Colnago carbon seatpost has a 27.2 mm round profile and -15 mm offset. A Selle Italia Novus saddle and Colnago Grip Black bar tape complete the contact points. Three FIDLOCK Twistlock mounts are included in the supplied equipment.

Inside the downtube, a storage compartment can be opened via a removable plate for carrying tools or spares; the storage bag and repair kit are not included. Six mounting positions support bottle cages and accessories, including fork-mounted cargo cages. A BSA 68 mm bottom bracket and UDH compatibility round out a gravel bike built for varied rides, combining dedicated components with useful carrying options.
