Simplon GRID :eLight Rival XPLR - Carbon Gravel E-Bike - 2026 - C1B31 - Graphite Grey Metallic (Glossy)

Gravel riding can be this easy

In the morning, riding on asphalt through the early morning fog; in the afternoon, on gravel trails, past the edge of the forest, and up to the first elevation gain. The GRID :eLight makes days like these possible. Designed for everyone who loves being outdoors—even when the route gets challenging. The TQ drive provides quiet and unobtrusive assistance when climbing or when the headwind won’t let up—with up to 60 Nm of torque when you need the power. If you prefer, you can ride without the motor. The carbon frame remains lightweight, and the handling is responsive—even with luggage or on loose terrain. 

On long tours, comfort is key: wide tires, well-thought-out geometry, and a frame that noticeably smooths out bumps. And if you’re not ready to call it a day yet: just plug in the range extender and keep riding. The GRID :eLight is built for days when a short ride turns into a real adventure.
