In the thick and sticky summer heat of Frankfurt, Eurobike has returned for 2025 and with it, the sprawling halls of the Messe are once again packed with bikes and components. From the major brand's new products to downright weird stuff, there’s no shortage of new tech and currywurst stands to sift through here.
There’s plenty more to come, but here are a few standouts from our first day scouting the halls: a high-clearance race gravel bike from Seka, and a steel one from Cinelli, some smart prescription sunglasses and a repair stand that lifts bikes with air.
Seka Exaero Gr gravel bike
Perhaps best known for its Spear road bike, Chinese brand Seka was at Eurobike to preview the Exaero Gr, an unreleased gravel bike that is very clearly aimed at the pointy end of the race spectrum. The frame carries over some of the shaping from the Spear, particularly around the rear triangle, and claims a weight of 920 g (unpainted, size 56).
The rear end is designed with vibration damping in mind, but this is very much a race bike first and as such, Seka was clear that it doesn't see it being paired with any sort of suspension.
Tyre clearance is 56 mm up front and 52 mm at the rear, with UDH compatibility and a carbon one-piece cockpit (in 50 size combos) as standard. As with most modern gravel bikes, the cables are fully hidden, and there’s downtube storage. Though, interestingly, Seka has partnered with Fidlock for the latch, and accompanying aero bottles.
Seka says it’s still finalising bags for the extra mounts behind the seat tube and on the top tube. A 3D-printed out-front mount is already built into the cockpit.
Frameset pricing is expected to land around €3,000 (US$3,500), with availability from October.
