<b>Durable, maintainable, and affordable. That's Gravity's new GRID trail/enduro lineup in a nutshell.</b>
<b>The hand built GRID wheels come in 27.5 and 29-inch sizes, with a 15mm front hub and 135/142mm rear axle compatibility. They're Shimano or SRAM XD freehub compatible as well.</b>
<b>Gravity drills angled and offset spoke holes on the rim to reflect the asymmetrical lacing pattern, boosting wheel strength. 28 double butted spokes per wheel. All black for awesomeness.</b>
<b>The hookless bead rim is 27mm wide internally, offering a good width for trail and enduro tires. Wheels go for $599 a set and are tubeless compatible. Weights start at 1850 grams.</b>
<b>Gravity's GRID stems come in 35 and 50mm lengths with a 35mm clamp diameter.</b>
<b>The stems use a 'no gap' faceplate (at the top) to ensure more even clamp force on the bars. They're black anodized.</b>
<b>135 grams for the short version. Not too shabby!</b>
<b>Stems go for $69 a pop. Kelly McGarry rocks the 35mm version.</b>
<b>The GRID cranks use AL6066 hollow forged crank arms, and fit 68/73mm BB shells.</b>
<b>Available in 170 and 175mm lengths, as well as 1X and 2X options.</b>
<b>The 1X version uses the MegaTooth chainring, designed to help keep your chain on with some large teeth and a narrow/wide profile. Cranksets are $249.</b>
<b>Here's an interesting take on an old concept. The 4-piece GRID chainguide uses modular polycarbonate guides and bashguard with tool-free swing-away guides.</b>
<b>Quick release upper and lower guides make installation and service a breeze.</b>
<b>The $109 guide is 160 grams, ISCG05 compatible (and adaptable to a threaded BB), and comes in 28-34 and 34-38 tooth sizes.</b>
<b>Double butted and tapered AL6061-T6 bars round out the GRID group. 35mm clamp diameter, of course.</b>
<b>They're available in 760 and 800mm widths with 20mm rise.</b>
<b>8-degree backsweep, 5-degree upsweep, 303 grams, and $59.</b>
