The Perfect "All-rounder"

A week is a long time to go without a dash of Orange, so we created the Speedwork; a super-fast everyday flat handlebar gravel bike that's far beyond a hybrid. The Speedwork defies being labelled; a breathtaking blend of gravel bike comfort and road bike speed is what this bike is all about, with a healthy dose of fun thrown in.

A brand new frame for this year sees updated geometry, internal cable routing and some neat extra features for rack and mudguard users. We've also added an extra set of bottle bosses under the downtube if frame bags are your thing.

Built around our legendary 6061 tubing, the Speedwork offers all the comfort and control you'd ever need, with a rigid carbon fork, 700c wheels and fast-rolling 37c tyres for flat-out speed on man-made terrain. Big gear ratios and reliable componentry means minimal servicing even when you’re clocking up commuter miles.  

A bike this good isn’t just a weekday workhorse though. For weekend bike-packing trips, that gravel race you really want to do, the daily grind or just relishing the thrill of riding fast, the Speedwork totally nails it. Of all the Oranges in your quiver, this could be the one you ride most.
