Usual Gravel Setup
At Jaegher, we craft your gravel bike based on your preferences and strengths. Typically, gravel bikes are designed with a more upright geometry than road bikes, prioritizing comfort. This setup makes it easier to navigate corners and obstacles, while offering better visibility of the trail. Your arms take less beating from the road and dancing on the pedals comes more naturally.
Aerodynamic Gravel Position
That said, we often have customers who prioritize performance above all. Gravel racing is becoming more and more popular. All over the world, riders compete in big events like Unbound Gravel, Grinduro, Belgian Waffle Ride, Strade Bianchi, the UCI Gravel World Series and many more. Technical expertise allows riders to choose a more aerodynamic position for gravel races.
Tim Merlier serves as a prime example. His lower, more aerodynamic position on his FL.X Hurricane Sandstorm lets him slice through the wind on the beaches of the North Sea coast with ease.

GRAVEL WITH SPEED: THE SECRET IS IN THE TRANSLATION
At Jaegher, we build your bike to match your own preferences and strengths. The Hurricane is designed to deliver the level of performance you desire, with the key lying in precision geometry.
Jaegher bikes are renowned for their tailor-made geometry, allowing riders to balance performance with comfort. When configured with an aggressive geometry, a Jaegher bike becomes a precision tool for speed-focused cyclists. Here’s a glimpse on how our approach ties into the aggressive geometry concept:
Jaegher focuses on custom frame-building, ensuring that even the most aggressive setups are meticulously tailored to your unique body dimensions. For example:
> The handlebar drop can be designed for a deep aero tuck without overstraining your flexibility.
> A longer reach can be implemented to optimize your weight distribution and sprinting power.
Jaegher frames, particularly the Hurricane, feature:
> A steep head tube angle for sharp, precise steering—ideal for racing or navigating twisty descents.
> A stiff bottom bracket and exclusive tailored XCr tubes ensure efficient power transfer.
We can incorporate a shorter wheelbase into your build to enhance agility. This is carefully balanced with frame stiffness and ride comfort to ensure stability, even at high speeds.
While aggressive geometries are inherently less forgiving, Jaegher’s stainless steel frames absorb vibrations better than its carbon counterparts. This results in a smoother ride, even in a racing position. Additionally, Jaegher holistically integrates bike fitting principles, ensuring that your muscles work in harmony to support your aggressive riding position.

HOLISTIC BIKE FIT
Performance, comfort or both—your choice.
The geometry of your gravel bike significantly influences your posture—and your posture, in turn, determines how the bike performs for you. Every rider is distinct, with unique body structures, physical strengths, and personal preferences. How can a one-size-fits-all approach possibly deliver the excellence you deserve?
11 tubes and parts each perfectly measured, cut and mitered for you.
IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE
INCREASE YOUR COMFORT
IMPROVE YOUR ENDURANCE
For a gravel bike to truly excel, it must align perfectly with its motor: the rider. Bike and rider should function as one seamless entity. What’s the point of having a perfectly crafted bike if the motor isn’t performing at its peak? And what’s the point of a powerful motor if the bike doesn’t feel like an extension of the rider?
That’s why Jaegher is the first bike brand to introduce the Jaegher HOLISTIC BIKEFIT®.
Together with Lieven Maesschalk (*) and Gilles Van Kerckvoorde we developed this approach.
This holistic method ensures that both you and your bike are in optimal harmony by taking a 360-degree approach to bike fitting. It’s not just about determining the perfect geometry, saddle height, or handlebar position—it's about understanding how your body moves and reacts to cycling. We assess factors like muscle imbalances, flexibility, and riding posture to determine the geometry and customize the fit to maximize your efficiency on the bike.
But the process doesn't end with the bike fit. Through a series of targeted, well-defined exercises, we address areas in need of strengthening or mobility improvement, helping you build a solid physical foundation for enhanced performance.
By focusing on both the rider and the bike, this method unlocks a smoother, more powerful ride, optimizing each pedal stroke and supporting your long-term cycling goals—whether you're racing, exploring gravel roads or enjoying long-distance rides.
With a focus on the whole rider, not just the bike, the Jaegher Holistic Bikefit Program elevates your cycling experience to its highest potential
The goal is to maximize every pedal stroke while ensuring you remain free of discomfort or strain.
Some examples of how our Holistic Bikefit Program can help you perform better:
- Enhance your balance and stability
- Achieve a more aerodynamic riding posture
- Increase core strength for improved stability and power transfer
- Improve hip flexibility for a smoother pedal stroke
- Improve proprioception and coordination for more efficient pedal mechanics
- Correct movement inefficiencies: e.g. knee drifting outward with each pedal stroke, which can reduce power output.
In 2001, Maesschalck developed his own concept, Move To Cure, which literally translates to "Healing Through Proper Movement." Together with a team of physiotherapists, he specializes in treating complex orthopedic injuries. Often referred to as the "miracle man" (a nickname he dislikes), he works with the world's best elite athletes.
His clients include AC Milan, Real Madrid, the Belgian Red Devils, An Wauters and cycling legends such as Remco Evenepoel, Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel.

NOTHING BEATS
STAINLESS STEEL
Unbeatable performance/comfort ratio
Stainless steel is an outstanding material for those seeking high performance. It offers the perfect balance between performance and comfort.
Stainless steel versus carbon and titanium.
Stainless steel is stiffer than titanium, yet more comfortable than carbon. For gravel riders, it’s particularly advantageous—virtually no risk of cracks, fractures or breaking carbon. Moreover, it’s immune to lasting damage from dents and scratches.
For those in the know.
Stainless Steel is an exceptional material for crafting bespoke race bikes. Renowned for their unmatched quality, they are also among the most challenging materials to work with. Stainless Steel, in particular, is unforgiving—demanding the expertise of only the most skilled welders, as every weld must be executed with flawless precision. Its remarkable hardness also takes a toll on machinery, causing wear and tear up to five times faster than with other materials, turning the crafting process into an art of endurance.
The reward, however, is unparalleled. Once you experience the ride of a bespoke stainless steel Hurricane, you’ll never look back.
01 — PERFORMANCE
Stainless steel frames offer the perfect balance of stiffness and compliance, providing responsive handling and a smooth ride, enhancing overall performance.
02 — COMFORT
Stainless steel's natural compliance offers a more comfortable ride, reducing fatigue on gravel roads, uneven trails or long distance rides.
03 — ANTI-CORROSION
Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion ensures the frame's longevity in diverse weather conditions, crucial for outdoor adventures.
04 — NO PAINT DAMAGE
Stainless steel frames are resistant to lacquer damage, as they require no paint or lacquer coatings. Scratches and small dents can easily be removed with some polishing.
05 — BIKEPACKING
Stainless steel frames can easily handle extra weight, travel bags and gear, making them the preferred choice for ultra riders.
06 — REPAIRABILITY
Carbon frames are prone to fractures sustained in crashes, rendering them unusable. In contrast, stainless steel frames are highly resilient and, if damaged, can be easily repaired, especially when left unpainted.
07 — DURABILITY
Stainless steel frames are ultra-durable and eco-friendly, while carbon fiber's limited recyclability impacts its environmental sustainability.
08 — AESTHETICS
Stainless steel frames boast a timeless, stylish look with polished or brushed finishes, perfect for cyclists seeking a distinctive appearance.
Jaegher finest framesets, the FL.X series, are handcrafted out of Columbus XCr tubes, exclusively made for Jaegher. All that is great about cycling comes together in this timeless masterpiece. Stiffness meets responsive characteristics, meets outstanding vibration absorbing quality, meets lightweight, meets pure aesthetics.
This bespoke, handcrafted and welded in a second-to-none geometry, results in a frameset with maximum dynamic efficiency and an unbeatable performance-to-comfort ratio.
The unique feel of steel is difficult to translate into statistics and numbers. The weight-to-stiffness ratio of our FL.X frames is superior to titanium or aluminium, while its vibration absorbing quality easily beats carbon or aluminium.
The frame — material and geometry — sets the standard for excellence in cycling.
THE PERFECT BLEND OF AESTHETICS
AND PERFORMANCE
Gravel-resistant lacquers
Additionally, the aesthetics are just as performance-driven. What’s more beautiful than a pure stainless steel gravel bike? Stainless steel doesn't require paint—its unpainted finish is not only visually striking but also more resistant to cosmetic damage like paint chips.
When it comes to aesthetics, nothing surpasses a meticulously handcrafted stainless steel bike.
Its style is unmatched, its durability enduring and its essence pure.
Pure and exceptionally tough
However, customization is still very much a part of the experience. In fact, 95% of our gravel bike customers opt for one of our many ceramic coating colours to add a unique touch to their bike. While leaving the majority of your Jaegher frame naked, brushed stainless steel, the logo, iconic Jaegher details or your personal callsign can be painted and oven-baked for a durable, long-lasting finish.
This ceramic coating is exceptionally tough, able to withstand scratches from rubble and branches.
Bespoke and exclusive
Some customers choose to extend the ceramic colour they've selected for the frame onto the fork, achieving a cohesive, streamlined look.
Others fully embrace the bespoke nature of their bike, opting for a pure frame with one or two ceramic colours, then combining this with bold wet paint finishes or personalized designs to make the fork or cockpit a standout feature.
