The Curve GXR4 builds on the success of the original GXR Kevin as a fantastically capable gravel bike and all round adventure bike. We have sent customers off for adventures all over the globe, from the Tour Aotearoa, the Tour Divide, Race to the Rock, or the Wilds of Mongolia! For 2025 the bike gets a few important updates, increased tyre clearance to run 700x50 frame and fork, internal dropper cable touring, increased stack and standover on most sizes, revised chainstays scale for different sized bikes and a new UDH compatible rear hanger give drivetrain options down the line.

Any out of stock options available to test ride/order in 3-4 weeks. We can swap in the wheels of your choice, so please contact us if your desired option isn't in stock on the website.

  • Wide Tyre Clearance

    The GXR has been designed with gravel cycling versatility in mind. While the GXR geometry is optimised for 700c x 44mm tyres, you can go as wide as 50 mm tyres on 700c wheels. In 700c mode with narrower tyre options, Kevin is ready for fast gravel missions, but you’ll be surprised how capable Kevin is on chunkier terrain with a 50 mm tyre. With 650b (27.5”) wheels you can move into gravel-plus territory with 2.2” tyres which offer plenty of comfort for the most rugged gravel adventures. Curve has the above wheel options in carbon and aluminium available and ready for complete Kevin builds.

  • Ready for Adventure

    Our Ride 415 VGM fork has taken load carrying to the next level, with a 8 kg rating on each fork leg. That’s a total carrying capacity of 16 kg. Featuring three cleverly designed mounts on each fork leg, the Ride 415 VGM fork can accommodate anything from extra water bottles, our Rocket Pooches, or other micro-pannier or fork-specific bags.

    While we favour 1x drivetrains, Kevin can be set up with a 2x drivetrain without hassle. With SRAM UDH compatible dropouts, Kevin is able to handle the widest range of groupset options currently available.

  • More Mounting Points

    The Curve Kevin comes equipped with rear rack mounts, fender mounts, 3 x bidon mounts, and top tube “bento mounts”. With extra tyre clearance, and a comparatively long wheelbase for the gravel genre which offers a more stable platform, Kevin is ready for epic day rides or multi-day bikepacking adventures, not just smooth gravel cruising.

    There is ample room for bikepacking bags on all frameset sizes.

Keeps lousy time
Color: Silver-Tone/Black
I purchased this watch off Amazon Warehouse well below MSRP out of curiosity to see what Timex is doing in 2024. The specs are good - bead blasted stainless case, solar movement with quick set date and hacking, sapphire crystal, screwdown crown and 100m water resistance. The movement is Japanese, case and bracelet are made in China, and the watch is assembled somewhere overseas. The good - the watch is lightweight and comfortable on the wrist. Price, even at full MSRP makes this an extremely good value for what you get. It is a good looking Flieger style watch. Once fully charged it is keeping good time. Case finish is well executed and without rough or sharp edges. The bad - the lume is weak. When blasted with UV, it fades quickly and within 5 minutes it’s gone. The bracelet is low end, but expected at this price point. I swapped it out with a nice leather strap from my collection with better quality spring bars and it makes the watch look and feel higher end. The Ugly - the second hand misses nearly all the chapter ring marks. The minute and hour hands are aligned, but that second hand seems to have a mind of its own. On my watch it lines up with chapter ring marks maybe 10% of the time, but it’s not consistent. Sum up, for a sub $200 watch the specs are great and it’s a good looking comfortable watch. Just keep your expectations aligned with what you are paying for. It compares favorably to Orients & Citizens at this price, and offers better value than comparable competitors now that Seiko has gone upmarket. I like this watch. Just don’t compare it to a Swiss watch costing several times its price. Update after a few months: I’m changing my rating to 3 stars. This watch keeps lousy time! It is loosing around 5 minutes per month. And it is fully charged. I have other Solar quartz watches from Citizen, Seiko and Vaer which maintain very good accuracy. But this Timex … defeats the purpose of a solar powered “grab and go” watch when you have to correct the time each occurrence you want to wear it.

Great Watch with Great Sapphire Crystal
Color: Olive/Gunmetal
Waited 2.5 years before reviewing. I love the gunmetal grey case, olive dial, and the exceptional sapphire crystal. The watch is still running great. During cold weather when wearing long sleeves, I make sure I charge the watch monthly by placing it under a table lamp for many hours because it died once due to no daylight charging. One problem is being able to see the minute markings. (The same watch with blue dial is much easier to read.) I also replaced the military-style band immediately with the excellent Archer 20mm Olive band (ARC-QRN-OLV20) and Archer 20mm Matte Gunmetal buckle ( ARC-BKL-GRYM20). I am only allowed to review once for this Timex model, so adding comments about the "Blue" version (TW2V03600JR). The blue version is the same watch but easier to view. It looks GREAT with the Archer 20mm Navy Blue band (ARC-QRN-NVY20).

I design flaw caused me to return it.
Color: Brown/Blue
Pros: - Perfect case size. - Sapphire crystal. - Solar powered quartz. - Large dial face - Minute and second hands reach to minute track for precise reading. - Great field watch design and proportions. - Effective lume on hands. Cons: - Lume on small triangular hour markers is useless, and fades quickly. - The hour numbers are not luminous. - The dull peach color chosen for the hour markers, numbers and hands in dim lighting is very dull and thus hard to read. - The dark blue color chosen for the dial is a dull hue that doesn’t really look blue, but just reduces the contrast between text and markers. - A black dial and bright white markers and numbers would make the watch much more legible/ readable, and would look much better aesthetically. It is a shame that these choices were made on an otherwise perfect design. - I was really excited that Timex finally seemed to get it when they came out with this series of models, but then they handicapped it with a dial that is only useable in bright light. What a shame. I am returning the watch.
