REBOUND: Relive a Remarkable Ride
REBOUND: Relive a Remarkable Ride
REBOUND inspired more than 300,000 riders around the world to ride a whopping 4,789,142 miles collectively. Each rider had their own adventure, starting from their own doorstep. We’re checking in with some of the heroes who rode REBOUND, within the Shimano Gravel Alliance and beyond.
United in Gravel, we rode REBOUND. Each participant had their own journey, every mile was its own story, every smile its own reward. Whether you rode the 25, 50, 100 or 200-mile ride, you all owned the morning and turned this unique event into something massive.
Our friends at the Shimano Gravel Alliance rode beautiful trails from Normandy to Paris, followed the route of the Giro di Lombardia, and invited friends to go along for the ride – which meant 5 am alarms, GPS checks, and a 6 am kick-off, worldwide.
Checking in with ultra-rider Sofiane Sehili, who had just finished the Highland Trail 550. Looking to recover in great style, Sofiane met up with his friends and took a crack at the Seine River Trail. Hopping from bank to bank along the famous French river, Sofiane reflects: ‘The beauty was in the friendship, in the small group on a sunny day. At the same time, we knew we were riding along with hundreds of thousands of riders. It was a powerful feeling.’ Sofiane rode with his Vitus Venon, equipped with a 2x11 GRX Di2 groupset.
Meanwhile, in Northern Italy, Claudia and her friends followed the trails of Val Seriana and Val di Scalve in Northern Italy, navigating a path along the River Brembo into Val Brembana. A wet day, the continuous rain did little to dispirit the close-knit group of gravelers. Simply adjust the route, throw on some rain jackets and keep your eyes on the prize.
After a coffee break in Val Brembana, Claudia and her friends headed into the UNESCO-listed town of Bergamo over the iconic La Boccola climb, a key point of Il Giro di Lombardia. ‘It was a ride to remember, maybe not the sunny ride I had in mind, but you bet I’ll be back for more at REBOUND 2024.’
Can’t get enough of the REBOUND experience? Keep an eye out for REBOUND 2024. And in the meantime, keep the party pace alive with the official REBOUND recap movie by our friends and fellow organizers at Live Slow Ride Fast.

Founded in the late 80's in the pre-carbon era by Luciano and Luca Passoni, it was the first company in Europe that produced titanium bikes when off-the-shelf tubing wasn't yet available. Every tube had to be made by starting from titanium sheets which were bended and welded into exceptional quality, bespoke bicycle frames. A passion for the sport and its culture has always been at the very heart of Passoni’s identity as they have spent the last 30 years building stunning machines for those with a true appreciation of fine craftsmanship. Passoni has always been a brand steeped in cycling history.

- SHIMANO Indexed Shifting Explained
- Indexing is the predetermined, incremental movement of a derailleur that corresponds with each click of a shifter. When a derailleur is activated, either by a mechanical shifter tensioning or releasing a cable or the Di2 button to activate derailleur motors, the component will move the chain from cog to cog on the rear cassette or different chainrings in the front. SIS derailleurs and shifters are designed to move a specific amount to achieve accurate and reliable gear changes every time.
