Rocky Mountain

Solo Carbon 50 Gravel Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I love the Solo’s balance of stiffness and compliance—it feels quick on road segments but doesn’t beat you up when things get rough. The 1x Rival setup is perfect for gravel riding, and the full-carbon fork with mount options makes it ideal for gear-heavy rides and ultralight bikepacking."

The Rocky Mountain Solo Carbon 50 Gravel Bike is built to handle everything from speedy mixed-surface loops to loaded bikepacking routes. Its Smoothwall carbon frame features Rocky’s fully guided internal routing, BB386 bottom bracket, and dropper post compatibility for a clean, futureproof design. Paired with a full carbon fork featuring three mount points per leg, the Solo is ready for racks, cages, or fenders.

A SRAM Rival 1x11 drivetrain handles shifting duties, mated to a 42T chainring and an XG-1150 10–42T cassette for versatile gearing across all terrain types. Stopping is handled by SRAM Rival hydraulic disc brakes paired with Centerline 160mm rotors. The WTB ST Light i23 TCS 2.0 rims are laced with DT Swiss Competition spokes and wrapped in 700 x 40c WTB Venture TCS Light tires for fast-rolling grip. The 27.2mm post and WTB Silverado saddle round out a dialed cockpit that’s ready to ride far and fast.

With 650b compatibility, numerous frame and fork mounts, and reliable performance across all surfaces, the Solo Carbon 50 is made for riders who treat the road less traveled as the starting line. It’s equally suited to fast gravel centuries, overnight missions, or that dream route you’ve been staring at on a map.
