Top level ambassadors for the Gravel World Championship
ISB Sport goes further in its commitment to gravel by creating a team of ambassadors dedicated to this exciting modality. In order to further promote this sector within the company, ISB Sport has gathered a select group of athletes passionate about gravel.
This team of ISB Sport ambassadors not only represents the brand in gravel competitions, but also forms a close-knit community that shares the same passion for the sport. Their goal is to be an active part of the gravel world, participating in races together and contributing to the growth and development of the sport. The team has already proven its worth when all members of the ISB Sport Gravel Team qualified for the World Gravel Championships to be held in Belgium.
By joining forces with these ambassadors, ISB Sport wants to highlight the spirit of camaraderie and passion that defines gravel. The team is committed not only to performance, but also, and very importantly, to respect for the environment and the promotion of an active and healthy lifestyle.

ISB Sport is excited to embark on this new adventure alongside its gravel ambassadors and hopes to inspire others to join them on this exciting journey. Together, they are ready to make their mark on the world of sport and make gravel an integral part of the ISB Sport family.
GRAVEL BEARINGS
THE ISB SPORT RECOMMENDATION
Demanding race courses pose a challenge for bikes, which must withstand the impacts of the uneven gravel terrain. That’s why the ISB Sport bearing brand offers two different series depending on the type of gravel rider you are.
ISB SPORT Pro Bearing Series
If you are a rider who loves speed, trail riding and Fast Gravel bikes, ISB Pro bearings are your choice. Designed for riders who race occasionally and demand a hybrid ceramic/ceramic bearing for increased performance. Race-ready bearings, in terms of friction reduction and achieving those marginal gains we demand so much. High-end bearings, available for both the wheel and bottom bracket and pulley.
ISB SPORT Endurance Bearing Series
If you are a rider who prefers unhurried gravel riding, loves bikepacking and likes Adventure bikes, ISB Endurance bearings are your choice. They stand out for their great performance, high durability and wear resistance that allow you to pedal for long days, without losing smoothness over time. High-quality patented steel bearings, with a service life 1.5 times longer than standard bearings. This is the series that encompasses the widest range of ISB Sport bearings, as they are available for: wheel and bottom bracket (where they recommend stainless bearings), suspension and swingarm (with the renowned Vmax bearing) and the bicycle’s steering.
