FAQs

 

What's the process when getting a custom build?
The process always starts with a conversation, so get in touch and tell us about your Dream Bike, and we can advise on the best way to make that dream a reality. The next step is to put down a deposit (at least 50%) - this will get the product secured or ordered under your name and the build process underway. We'll be in touch as the build progresses with any updates. 

Want to Carry More?
With a wide range of frame and fork-mounted rack systems on the market, and with more appearing every week, it is not possible for us to know exactly which racks will be compatible. Before mounting a rack to your frame or fork, we strongly recommend you get in touch with us for our advice. We will do our best to verify compatibility.
This will minimise the risk of injury, product damage and voiding your warranty. Your local Curve dealer, or the team at Curve HQ, can also help you select a rack system and mount it to your bike for you.

In general, M5 mounts on chainstays and seatstays will accept racks of various types, and the maximum approved weight to carry on a rack is 20kg (or less, depending on the rack rating). 

Note: This rating is for smooth roads & gravel. For anything rougher, the weight limit decreases. Use careful discretion when gauging how much weight to carry on rough gravel or off-road adventures. 


What payment options are there?
We accept payment in the form of credit card, Pay Pal and EFT. If you'd prefer to pay for your Curve bike or product in multiple payments, please contact us for an invoice with payment options attached. 


How long will my order take to ship?
Some products can be shipped immediately and normally land within 10-15 business days. Other products will have a lead time depending on supply levels and build time. As a guide, complete bikes normally take 3-4 weeks, custom wheel builds take 2–3 weeks, and custom frames take 3-6 months, plus shipping time. 

How much assembly is needed for complete bikes?
All our complete bikes are assembled and tuned before being packed safely for shipping (unless agreed otherwise). This means that you will not have to cut the chain, bleed brakes or set up and tune gears. However, in order for us to fit the bike in the box, some parts will have to come off. This means that some assembly is needed once you receive your new bike.

This is the normal level of assembly needed: 
  • Fit the front wheel
  • Fit the handlebars on the stem (torque wrench needed)
  • Fit the seatpost and adjust the saddle height and angle to your preference
  • Fit the rear derailleur and chain *
  • Fill sealant in tubeless tyres

* We realise that fitting the derailleur and chain may be something you're not comfortable doing yourself. We leave these parts off and pack them separately in the box to protect the bike and derailleur. The rear derailleur is one of the more expensive components on the bike, and we do not want you to receive your bike with a bent hanger, a broken or damaged derailleur, and/or a scratched chainstay due to chain rattle.

NOTE: We always recommend that you take your new bike to a professional mechanic to ensure everything is as it should be before you ride it. We can not take any responsibility for incorrectly self-assembled bikes.

Meet the latest GXR a.k.a. Kevin

One of the first gravel-specific bikes to be sold in the mass market, the Curve GXR model has been around since gravel became cool. With wider tyre clearance, improved mounting options and UDH compatibility, the latest version of our Swiss Army Knife of bikes is more versatile than ever. We have been ahead of the Curve when it comes to gravel, and the GXR has years of adventure cycling experience woven into its DNA. The Curve titanium GXR has been tested heavily on gravel adventures worldwide. Across South America, New Zealand, Switzerland, Swaziland, and more, the Curve squad has traversed the globe on this magnificent bicycle.

Originally a playful jab at the bike industry's bike naming terminologies, the name “Kevin” soon caught on, and we couldn’t resist making it official. Kevin, the reliable Aussie all-rounder, is here to stay as a permanent nickname for our beloved GXR.

Maximum Versatility

The GXR has been designed with gravel cycling versatility in mind. While the GXR geometry is optimised for 700c x 44mm tyres, you can go as wide as 50 mm tyres on 700c wheels. In 700c mode with narrower tyre options, Kevin is ready for fast gravel missions, but you’ll be surprised how capable Kevin is on chunkier terrain with a 50 mm tyre. With 650b (27.5”) wheels you can move into gravel-plus territory with 2.2” tyres which offer plenty of comfort for the most rugged gravel adventures. Curve has the above wheel options in carbon and aluminium available and ready for complete Kevin builds.

Ready for Adventure

Our Ride 415 VGM fork has taken load carrying to the next level, with a 8 kg rating on each fork leg. That’s a total carrying capacity of 16 kg. Featuring three cleverly designed mounts on each fork leg, the Ride 415 VGM fork can accommodate anything from extra water bottles, our Rocket Pooches, or other micro-pannier or fork-specific bags. While we favour 1x drivetrains, Kevin can be set up with a 2x drivetrain without hassle. With SRAM UDH compatible dropouts, Kevin is able to handle the widest range of groupset options currently available.

More Mounting Points

The Curve Kevin comes equipped with rear rack mounts, fender mounts, 3 x bidon mounts, and top tube “bento mounts”. With extra tyre clearance, and a comparatively long wheelbase for the gravel genre which offers a more stable platform, Kevin is ready for epic day rides or multi-day bikepacking adventures, not just smooth gravel cruising.

There is ample room for bikepacking bags on all frameset sizes. To make sure current, prospective or custom bagging fits your frame size please see our Bagmaker Drawing page.
