If your gravel riding is a mix of races, multi-surface loops and the occasional chain gang, the Mission 7000 covers all three without complaint. It is built on the CF4 II carbon gravel race frame with the matching Mission CF4 II tapered carbon fork, running 100x12mm and 142x12mm thru-axles and a threaded BSA bottom bracket.

Geometry is more race-focused than the bikepacking-oriented Silex, which puts you in a lower, more purposeful position while keeping the surefooted feel you want when a gravel track turns rough. Frame clearance is 700x40C, enough for a fast-rolling gravel tyre with volume to spare on rutted ground.

This is the 2x12 build in the range, and that suits riders who spend real time on tarmac between sectors. Shimano GRX825 Di2 provides electronic front and rear shifting with a 48-31 chainset and an 11-36 HG710 cassette, so there are close ratios where you need them and a low gear for loose climbs. GRX820 hydraulic discs handle braking. Reynolds ATR TSS carbon wheels, 42mm deep with a 25mm internal rim width, sit under Continental Terra Speed ProTection 40mm tubeless ready tyres.

The one-piece integrated carbon bar and stem tidies the front end, the Team SL II carbon seatpost helps on longer days, and the Prologo Scratch M5 AGX saddle comes with a mini tool tucked into the mount. A well-judged, hard-riding gravel bike that does not need excuses on the road.
