The <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingmagazine.ca\/cycling-magazine-podcast\/climbing-tips-fara-cycling\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Oslo-based brand<\/a> says the Gr4\u2019s geometry, and 2.2-inch tire clearance strike a balance between agility and stability. Weighing in at 970 g for a size medium frame, the bike uses high modulus Torayca T1000 and M40X carbon fibres to save over 200 g compared to the previous model.<\/p>\n<p>The Gr4 frameset starts at $7,200, with complete builds beginning at $9,000.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Gr4-On-Black-Background-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-126853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Gr4-On-Black-Background-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"991\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Race pedigree and all-road capability<\/p>\n<p>Fara developed the Gr4 after nearly a decade of racing and ultra-endurance testing. Their team raced the bike at events including The Traka, Badlands and the Atlas Mountain Race. The company says the new bike is designed to suit both high-paced gravel racing and multi-day exploration.<\/p>\n<p>Shorter chainstays aim to deliver a nimble feel, while the frame\u2019s clearance allows for a wide range of tire choices. The geometry supports both aggressive racing positions and more relaxed endurance fits, aided by the Fara Modular Cockpit system, which offers multiple widths and adjustable stem lengths.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to force riders to choose between a bike that\u2019s built for racing and one that\u2019s built for exploration,\u201d said Jeff Webb, founder of Fara Cycling. \u201cWith the Gr4, we worked with our athletes and designers to create something that excels at both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Gr4-On-Black-Background-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-126854\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Gr4-On-Black-Background-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"922\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Features and fit options<\/p>\n<p>The bike includes an updated in-frame storage compartment, full cargo mounts, hidden fender mounts and is universal derailleur hanger compatible.
