For now, we mostly have pretty pictures but what we can see looks good.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been hunting for Tavelo at the Taipei Cycle Show with an eye on getting more info for future coverage. The Chinese brand has been steadily building a reputation for high-performance carbon, and I wanted to track them down. When I finally found the booth, instead of just looking at their existing road lineup, I got a first look at this brand-new release.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_980675\" class=\"pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tavelo Grow gravel race bike\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-980675\" src=\"https:\/\/velo-cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DSC_4055.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover\"><figcaption class=\"pom-caption\">(Photo: Josh Ross\/Velo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Tavelo Grow is a dedicated aero gravel race rig that delivers exactly what a modern gravel frame should. Built around a dropped chainstay design and showcased in a wild neon colorway, the frame maxes out tire clearance with room for a 55mm in the front and a 50mm in the rear.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placeholder-wrapper relative w-full border-t border-b border-border-light col-span-full my-3 md:col-span-10 md:col-start-2\">\n<div class=\"mb-[30px] min-h-[30px] text-center\"><span class=\"font-utility-4 font-medium tracking-[1px] text-neutral-500 uppercase\">ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite the aero focus, Tavelo didn\u2019t strip away the utility. The Grow features top tube mounts, a third bottle mount under the down tube, and the standard two inside the front triangle. They\u2019ve also added an in-frame down tube storage compartment that uses a Fidlock magnetic closure system to keep the cover secure and rattle-free.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_980681\" class=\"pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tavelo Grow gravel race bike\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-980681\" src=\"https:\/\/velo-cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DSC_4061.jpg?width=3840&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=75&amp;fit=cover\"><figcaption class=\"pom-caption\">(Photo: Josh Ross\/Velo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the mechanic\u2019s side, the brand stuck to the exact modern standards everyone wants to see right now: a threaded bottom bracket and a Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH).Pricing is set at an aggressive $1,880 USD, which gets you the frameset along with an integrated handlebar. For more information, you can visit the Tavelo website, though this one is too new to be listed just yet.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_980683\" class=\"pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone\"><img
