In-depth review of the Sonder Sedona GRX1, a titanium gravel bike designed for varied terrain and racing. Explore its strengths and limitations with detailed technical insights
The Sedona GRX1 is a titanium gravel bike that aims to deliver high performance for smoother riding and adventure. In this review on offroad.cc Matt Page evaluates its quality, performance, value, and discusses the pros and cons of its design.
TL:DR Buy if... you want a gravel bike for multi-day events on non-technical terrain.
Matt says
Matt cuts straight through our product blurb and dives straight into the technical details of the frame. He notes the titanium alloy frameset has characteristics that make it far more capable than just a race bike. Multiple mounting points allow accessories to be securely attached, a feature hard to find on most race bikes.
Unsurprisingly Matt compares the Sedona to our award winning Camino, highlighting the Sedonas more aggressive race led geometry which sacrifices some comfort for sharper handling.
Testing the Sedona GRX1 build, Matt has good words to say about its excellent value and the high level of customisation available during both the online and in store purchase journey.
We say
It is humbling when one of your cycling heros expresses their thoughts on your bike. With years of hard racing and multi-day adventures under his, ehm saddle, we can't think of a better rider to listen to.
The Sedona has hit the mark in so many areas to become our fastest selling bike - ever. It extends the capabilities of the Camino whilst still benefiting from our focus on titanium's inherent benefits for your comfort and our environment over carbon.
Matt closes his article posing the question Is the Sedona a race bike?
. As Matt says you might not be jostling for position on the start line of a UCI Gravel Race, but if you mix self-supported adventure with the thrill and challenge of going as far and as fast as your legs can spin the Sedona is an excellent bike.
We are glad Matt also highlighted how customisable the Sedona builds are, both online or in any of our stores around the country. Our Sonder team work hard to ensure you get exactly the set up you need out of the box, whether you are prioritising speed, comfort, durability or just colour matching your componentry.
