Pegoretti Duende Rock & Roll Stainless Steel Gravel Bike

Pegoretti’s Duende Rock & Roll frameset isn’t a typical gravel frameset. For one, it accepts tires up to 40mm, not the 55+ ‘mountain bike’ monsters starting to dominate the race scene. Nor is it made from carbon fiber. Instead, it’s handmade (in Verona, Italy) from Columbus XCR stainless steel. Yet for all of its counter-culture signalling, the Duende Rock & Roll is one of the most enjoyable bikes you could ever hope to experience, a pure distillation of everything a bike should make you feel, wrapped up with mesmerizing comfort, responsiveness, Pegoretti’s signature quality and the pride that comes from owning a handmade Italian bike by the best in the business.

More About the Duende Rock & Roll

All-road, urban or trail, the Duende Rock & Roll can do it all, thanks to the custom options afforded by the Pegoretti Bottega. Spec fender eyelets, and you can ride through the worst weather in style. Add rack mounts for extra utility, or install a flat bar, simplify and recapture the speed and sensation of your old-school BMX.

And therein lies the Duende Rock & Roll’s genius. It’s not really a gravel bike. It’s a line in the trail that asks whether you want to follow the crowd or experience something that gets lost in specs, in talk of width, in the what-you-think-you-wants: the sheer joy of riding.

The Duende Rock & Roll reminds us that riding bikes is the best damn thing there is.
