Here's a quick look at my Ican x gravel bike since there isn't much info about it online. It's a frame from the Chinese brand ICAN, and because they have a European warehouse, I didn't have to pay any extra fees. Ican x gravel frame review.
The frame set cost me just under 1000 euros and included a seat post and headset. It's made entirely of carbon and has lots of mounting options. I'm not going to bore you with the usual stuff about stiffness at the bottom bracket, etc. Instead, I'll share what I've actually ridden on it—real-world stuff, not just a lap around a parking lot like some reviewers do.
I've clocked 7600 km on it so far without any issues. It originally came in a matte black finish, but I had a friend paint it bright orange.
I've raced in a bunch of events, including:
Iron Gravel 360
Badlands
Spanish gravel champs
These are all pretty tough events, and the bike has been spot-on. Right now, it's set up with a Sram Apex group set, Hunt wheels, and a Shimano cockpit.
I'm running 42mm tires and using a Redshift suspension stem, which makes the ride as comfy as possible for a gravel bike. I'll be using it throughout 2025, and I've already signed up for some big bikepacking races. This bike is perfect for me, especially after seeing how much they endure in long races. Spending 4000 euros on a frame set wouldn't make me feel as secure about my investment.
