NOT JUST ANOTHER GRAVEL BIKE
Introducing the 365.
A bike designed for the pleasure of riding every day and venturing into unknown lands. The 365 rides as much as it rolls because it’s true to our MTB DNA.

MTB LEGACY
A gravel bike is often compared to a mountain bike from the early 90s, just with the addition of modern technologies. We took that literally and gave the 365 a triple butted 6069 T4/T6 aluminium frame with off-road engineering solutions.
COMFORT
We have worked on the stiffness of the aluminium at strategic points to absorb vibrations from the terrain. The thin and round seat stays are placed at the lowest point to provide vertical flexibility when the ground gets rough.
DYNAMISM
The down tube surrounds the bottom bracket for perfect stiffness. The result is a bike that’s easy to ride and responds to the slightest acceleration when engaged.
FILTRATION
The 365 has an aluminium fork that we have designed. Together with thick handlebar tape it limits fatigue in the hands. It also incorporates the front brake hose.
PROTECTION
The 365 is equipped with a specific front mud guard to avoid unwanted splashes and the concave down tube helps prevent too much mess at foot level. There is also frame protection on the underside to help protect against chips.

OUR COMMITMENT
It’s not just the material that defines a high-end or performance bike.
The real added value comes from the way a frame is designed and worked. With our 365 you are guaranteed a bike that is made from premium alloys that combine bespoke methods and high-end technology. Aluminium is our specialty and our commitment to a more ethical world.
BALANCED FRAME
Short chain stays for liveliness and long wheelbase for stability when speed increases.
EASE AND POWER
The stack/reach ratio and seat tube angle (74°) optimises the pedalling position for longer rides.
PRECISE STEERING
The bike-specific 55mm fork offset delivers precise steering that filters the terrain.
The saddle height (see 14 on diagram) can be lowered by 20mm.
All lengths in millimeters.
COCKPIT
We have focused on a mountain bike style cockpit with a short stem and wide handlebars. The flared shape of the drop bar allows you to control the bike and have fun on off-road paths.
ONE-BY ONLY
Associated with the wide speed range of the cassette, the single chain ring sure has its advantages: easier to use, better chain retention, reduced maintenance, and light in weight.
DROPPER FRIENDLY
The dropper post is a no-brainer when riding a mix of on and off-road. It brings confidence, convenience, and efficiency during descents.
TOUCHDOWN
The 365 can accommodate tyres with a width of up to 47mm. The wide DT Swiss rims offer maximum roll and grip. The 180mm discs have the stopping power.

WHO BETTER THAN OUR ATHLETES TO TALK ABOUT THE 365?
Kilian Bron or Kim Gintrand. Do you know about them? This is what they think of their 365.
The 365 is comfortable on all types of ground surface. It accompanies me for my training sessions of a few hours, adventure rides over a day, up to my longest trips.
Kim GINTRAND
The 365 is my definition of a bike. The perfect tool to get off the beaten track and venture wherever I want, with a clean and coherent design, which corresponds exactly to my vision of Gravel.
Kilian BRON
Everything has been done to maximise the joy of riding, from design to geometry to the choice of components. The 365 is a the tool to adventure differently!
Thomas MORET – Product Designer
COMMENCAL pitch the 365 as being 'designed for escape', and I reckon they’ve nailed that, as it doesn’t pigeonhole the bike into any single category. Calling it a gravel bike would seriously understate what it’s about. It’s the sort of bike I’ve enjoyed just rolling out my door and going for a ride, no agenda needed, no need for a GPX route; tarmac to gravel, to singletrack, river path, or simply to work – it’s been up for every adventure.
Liam FRIARY
The 365 is more nimble than many other gravel bikes in this weight class: a testament to a successful geometric frame. This design shines as soon as the terrain becomes more demanding […] It is much better cushioned than what is said about aluminum frames. At the front, the impacts are less violent than with some carbon forks […] Our test bike surprises with its great comfort and emphasizes the true riding characteristics which invite you to play with the terrain. It's an exciting bike.
Jan GATHMANN
The 365 starts to come alive when rides look to connect singletrack, where frame material matters less than well-considered spec, geometry, and body positioning. […] The COMMENCAL gravel bike makes a lot of sense. Mid-corner adjustments are shockingly easy, which gave me the confidence to PB several segments I’d otherwise take an XC bike for. The frame details and the handling that compliments it show a bike that is far more polished than expected.

GRAVEL PROOF
Bike-packing, lunch rides, road training or commuting. The 365 will fit according to your mood of the moment so that you can just jump on and ride.
The 365 is definitely not just another gravel bike.
