CBHOLMYSFOR1
The Mystique is Holdsworths pro level, performance focused gravel bike.
A high velocity, multi-surface racer, boasting a 43mm tyre clearance, tubeless ready tyres, powerful all-weather disc brakes and a full set of bike packing fixtures. The Mystique is the perfect partner for further and faster adventures.
The Holdsworth Mystique is a super fast, multi-surface gravel speed machine. Placed clearly at the race oriented end of the gravel bike spectrum, the Mystique is made up of aggressive, aero-themed shapes and angles resulting in an extremely responsive and precise handling bike, be that on gravel or tarmac.
Despite its race ready appearance the Mystique is still one hundred percent gravel bike with all-terrain riding at its core.
The full carbon gravel fork features low rider front rack mounts and boast a 43mm tyre clearance. Triple bottle cage mounts plus a mudguard and rack ready frame are features that further highlight the Mystiques ultra-light, bikepacking race suitability.
Force is SRAM's original high performance gravel groupset. Instant Double Tap sequential shifting of 11 super wide ratio gears. Clutch damped rear mech and narrow wide teeth secure the chain on the roughest tracks. Carbon levers, cranks and rear mech cage minimise weight. Extended lever hoods and hard biting hydraulic disc brakes mean outstanding all weather control.
You will see Fulcrum Racing 900 Disc wheels on loads of our bikes because they just work really well. Light enough to flatter your legs, but tough enough to take a beating from potholes. Quality sealed bearings to laugh at whatever mileage and weather you throw at them. Easy to set up tubeless for a smoother, puncture proofed ride.
Pedals not included? Why not?
Pedal choice is personal thing. Most higher end bikes are expected to be ridden with clipless pedals. These are matched to cleats on the underside of your cycling shoes. There are a few standards of these, and most cyclists tend to stick with one standard across all their bikes. This is why Planet X do not sell bikes with pedals included. If you wish to add pedals to your order, simply select an option from the drop-down menu.
Approx Bike Weight (Medium) - 9.3kg - Bike weight can vary slightly depending on the size of the frame and the components chosen at the time of checkout

| Rider Height | Suggested Frame Size |
|---|---|
| 5′3″ to 5′8″ (160cm-172cm) | X-Small / 490 |
| 5′7″ to 5′10″ (170cm-178cm) | Small / 520 |
| 5′9″ to 6′2″ (175cm- 188cm) | Medium / 540 |

| 6′4″ Plus (193cm Plus) | X-Large / 580 |
All frame size recommendations are approximate. A good fit will also depend on the correct choice of stem length, correct bike set-up for the rider and riding style.
Correct frame size choice can vary greatly with riders' torso length. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso, go for a slightly shorter stem. If you think you are borderline between sizes, and you have longer legs and a shorter torso, go for the smaller frame size. If you have shorter legs and a longer torso, go for the larger frame size to get the extra top tube length.
As the frame sizes increase, so does the length of the head tube. If you are inflexible or perhaps have a history of back problems, consider going for a larger frame size. This will increase the relative height of the handlebars making the position less “extreme”. The larger frame will also have a longer top tube, so you’ll need to compensate for this with a shorter stem.

The measurement for Max Tyre size given above is the actually wall-to-wall width measurement of the largest tyre that we have fitted and sold as part of this bike model. This does not mean that we guarantee that any tyre smaller than this nominal width will fit on this bike as manufacturer's stated sizes seldom correspond to the actual measured width. We cannot test all tyres, rims and different inflation pressures, and as such, this number should be used only as a guide.

Build your bike in 3 simple steps
I am overwhelmed how good this bike is! I wanted a 'do anything' bike, and after a lot of deliberating decided the Mystique was the one for me. I have now tried 2 X setups - Road, using 700 x 28c Continental 4 Season GP, which is just as fast as previous road only bikes, and Gravel, using 700 x 40c Schwalbe Hurricane tyres, from which I can't notice much speed penalizing on the road, but which provide limo like comfort on hardpack gravel surfaces. I have set mine up 2x as I mostly ride road, although that may change mostly to Gravel after this purchase. I am 6ft 2in, 34in inside leg and following the size guide went for a Medium, after confirming with Planet X this was right for me. Result = a perfect fit. I am 100+KG and this bike feels strong and light enough to throw anything (within reason) at. I now carve the trails happily, just like I used to one my 1st decent non-suspenion equipped bike back in the 90s! Support and Communication from Planet X is excellent. I am one very happy customer. Thank you Planet X.
