Gravel Burn is the toughest off-road stage race in the world, and you need a bike up for the challenge. I chose to use the Cannondale SuperX Lab71, and while I did long for some suspension and wider tyres as the race progressed, the platform got me through Gravel Burn with a top-45 overall finish and 5th in my category.
The SuperX is a racy gravel bike available in several builds. While I used the range-topping Lab71 version for Gravel Burn, any of the carbon models in the range would have done just as good a job, including the Carbon 3 model pictured, now on sale at Sigma Sports this Cyber Monday.

The geometry of the SuperX is not too far removed from its SuperSix brother. A slightly more relaxed 71-degree head angle, longer chainstays (422mm), and a longer wheelbase (1,020mm) have added more control and stability to the platform. While the Lab71 model utilises Cannondale’s Halo Series 0 carbon layup, the Carbon 3 model uses a standard layup, which is a bit heavier but still balances stiffness with compliance.
Claimed weight without pedals and standard Vittoria Terreno T50 40mm tyres is pegged at just under 9kg, which is very respectable for a bike of this price, with this much versatility. What I like about the SuperX is its ability to work as both a gravel and road bike – just fit a set of road wheels and it’s good to go.
