Anyone got any more info on this?

Tyre clearance? Time frame?
I know nothing but am interested in a gravel frame with good tyre clearance. Even better than the Tideace Noah would be good.

Interesting one to follow.

There will be more options from China with wider clearance coming to the market this year. A little bird told me ;-).

I think they are starting to pick up on this trend in any case.

The image shows a spec stating 55mm and 50mm tire clearance (front and rear I assume).
At first sight it doesn't look super aero, though I'm a believer that minimalistic can be aero as well i.e. small frontal area.
I guess we need to stay tuned for more info on this one.

Frame profile gives me strong cannondale superx vibes

Is there an XMCS gravel frame coming with more clearance this year? Happy to wait.

We will be giving some teasers on our Instagram soon.

All I can say for now is that I personally like a bit of width ;-).

I will copy the Insta post in a separate topic on the new XMCS gravel bike once we are there, so that people can discuss the Tavelo Grow here.

There are some more pictures on the Tavelo Belgium instagram of a fully build bike. IMO, it looks racy, which is positive.

on this website it is stated that a 60mm beach racing tyre (narrowly) fits, so perhaps a 55mm gravel tire is viable!

Anyone build one of these up yet?

Ide Schelling showed it with a 2.2" rear and 2.4" front, though not with any super wide gravel rims.

https://www.instagram.com/ideschelling/reel/DYo0yUHgTYR/

Front clearance looks great.

However, it's a bit hard to see what the actual clearance is on the rear. He doesn't show it from the top.
Officially, the rear takes 50mm measured. He says the 2.2" Ikon measures 54mm (i.e. less than 2.2") with relatively narrow rims, and it looks tight, but I'm not sure.
The 2.1" Thunder Burt on an XPLR-type rim (also ~54mm measured) is becoming a common racing setup, but I'm not sure I'd run it on the Tavelo Grow.
