This table is the high level overview. Full details below. It's difficult to simplify Seven's custom frame options because we do significant tuning with each tubeset type. Regardless, here is a general overview of our frame kit purposes.
| Tubeset designation | S Tubeset | SL Tubeset | XX Tubeset |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tubeset type | Straight gauge tubing. Seven has more than 20 tube diameters and walls to choose from, for fine tuned ride and performance. | Butted tubeset: Machined for strength, durabilty, and lightweight. | Multi-butted tubeset: Most progressive lightweight tube butting processes available. |
| Why choose this tubeset? | Best value and toughness. Good for heavier riders. Can be our stiffest model. Understated aesthetic. | When in doubt, choose SL. Balanced. Most capable over widest range of use. Most tuneable ride characteristics. The best harmony of all possible features. Seven's most popular tubeset choice. | Most advanced and lightest titanium frame possible. State-of-the-art feature set. Some features only available on XX models. |
| Considerations | Heaviest frame. Slightly smaller range of features and options. | None | Susceptible to denting. Most expensive titanium model. Stiffness should not be a priority. |
| Popular usage | Bikepacking, touring, travel, urban, maximum stiffness | Popular with all bike categories | Climbing, lighter riders |
| Not recommended for | Not applicable | Not applicable | Bikepacking, touring, travel bikes, heavier riders, maximum stiffness |

xxxxxx Seven has been building gravel bikes for more than 20 years, although in the early days they were all built on our National Championship winning Mudhoney cyclocross platform. When we introduced our Evergreen gravel bikes in 2012, it was really a matter of capturing the dirt-loving zeitgeist with a model name and a renewed focus on what a purpose-built gravel bike could be. Every year since that introduction we've evolved the Evergreen with gravel-specific forks and cutting-edge features like dropped and chopped chainstays. We won Best Gravel Bike at the North American Handbuilt Bike Show in 2019, a confirmation that we're at the forefront of gravel bike design.
When "gravel" first emerged as a category we were bemused. We'd been building drop-bar bikes to ride off-road for decades already. The advent of good disc brakes changed the game, though. Suddenly, we weren't making all-day riding cyclocross bikes anymore, we were into something new, and we loved it. We have built thousands of gravel bikes over the last 7 seasons, in an astounding array of configurations, for riders all over the planet.
Seven has a wider and deeper range of gravel bikes than most companies, large or small. What makes our gravel bikes different is:
The current hot setup for gravel is bikes that work with both 700c and 650b wheels. We offer dual wheel designs in four bike series:
Also, Seven builds every model in either wheel size. We build each bike to order so we can deliver what's truly best for you with no other agenda.
Determining your ideal gravel bike wheel size is fairly straightforward. We expect most to choose 700c, although smaller riders will enjoy 650b with no sacrifice to their ride experience. Some riders like a bike designed to take both sizes. They'll choose 700c for “normal" conditions and move to 650b when things get rougher, because they can run a larger volume tire.
