All-City Gorilla Monsoon GRX Gravel Bike – Steel Frame, Hotberry Rhubarb

The All-City Gorilla Monsoon is your ultimate companion for conquering rugged trails, gravel roads, and bikepacking expeditions while maintaining a touch of sophistication on every journey. Engineered for riders seeking both adventure and comfort over long distances, this versatile steel-frame machine excels in cross-country racing, dirt exploration, and weekend escapes into uncharted terrain. With seven meticulously tailored frame sizes—including a new 43cm option—it ensures a perfect fit for riders from 4’11” up to 6’6″, making it ideal for cyclists of all statures looking to tackle demanding off-road routes without compromising performance.

Crafted from All-City’s renowned 612 Select Chromoly steel tubing and featuring TIG-welded construction with an E.D.-coated finish, the Gorilla Monsoon combines durability with smooth ride quality. Its signature thru-axle dropouts and matching bi-plane crown fork deliver precise handling on technical paths while accommodating Surly 8- and 24-Pack racks for gear-heavy trips or bikepacking adventures. With clearance for both 27.5 x 2.4″ tires and 700c x42mm wheels, this bike adapts seamlessly to diverse terrains—from loose gravel to packed dirt—ensuring stability and traction wherever your ride takes you.

The build kit prioritizes reliability and control: Shimano GRX RX812 rear derailleur paired with an 11-42t SunRace cassette provides gearing suited for steep climbs and high-speed descents alike. WTB ST i25 rims paired with WTB Riddler tires offer lightweight strength and grip for unpredictable surfaces. Flat-mount disc brakes from Shimano GRX RX810 ensure confident stopping power in any weather condition, while three integrated bottle mounts keep you fueled through extended rides.
