After last year’s edition was hit by bad weather, this July’s sunlit event felt like a rebirth. The decision to move the date to summer proved to be the right move, giving riders a perfect mix of challenge and celebration. And this year, Jeroboam didn’t just return — it evolved.
The New Mathusalem 600: A True Test of Grit
The big news? The debut of the 600 km Mathusalem — a true gravel odyssey that pushed even the most expert riders to their limits. Starting from the Reverb Hub in Bergamo, this ultra-distance route with 14.500 meters of elevation gain, offered unfiltered beauty and raw effort, weaving through high climbs, remote tracks, and hidden gems of the territory. It wasn’t just a course — it was a memorable journey.
Revamped 300 and 150: Rediscovering the Territory
The classic 300 km and 150 km routes also got a fresh twist, guiding riders through newly explored areas around the mountains close to 3T HQ and the Reverb Hub, which also served as a strategic checkpoint for both distances. Some of the 300 km riders even took a much-needed rest inside the hub before the final push. The routes combined demanding terrain with the rewards of breathtaking views and that unmistakable Jeroboam spirit.
75 km Ride: Gravel for All
For those looking for something a bit more relaxed but no less rewarding, the 75 km course was all about community. A social ride led by Reverb Cycling members brought together riders of all levels for a day of shared passion, scenic trails, and good vibes. It was less about speed and more about connection — with each other, with the gravel, and with the spirit of the event. The day wrapped up with everyone rolling back into the village in Erbusco, ready to celebrate.
Reverb in the Lead: A Gravel Festival Like No Other
With Reverb taking the reins this year, the organization reached new heights. The beating heart of the event was once again the village in Erbusco, transformed into a festival of activity and music.
From Bianco Music’s soulful songs on Friday, to DJ Nchlinezz raising the energy on Saturday night, every moment was curated for fun. One of the weekend’s highlights was the premiere of Antoine Collet and Michel Biel’s film, capturing their unforgettable winter ride in Lapland aboard two 3T Extrema bikes — a story of adventure that left everyone inspired.
And because riding hard means recovery matters, Giulia with her yoga sessions helped riders loosen up before and after the rides, while Chiara Raineri, expert massotherapist, worked her magic on tired legs and stiff backs.
Powering the Experience: Our Sponsors
A massive shout-out goes to the sponsors who helped make this edition of Jeroboam truly unforgettable. Giangi’s Bike, the trusted local 3T dealer, was on the ground supporting riders and sharing their expertise. Northwave and Limar not only brought some of the most advanced cycling gear on the market — they also joined the rides, showing firsthand how their tech performs on real gravel. Their presence, energy, and contributions were key to the success of the event.
More Than a Ride
Jeroboam Gravel Italy 2025 was more than just gravel. It was about sharing stories, clinking glasses, and enjoying bikes with great people in a spectacular place. Good food, cold beers, laughter, music, and meaningful connections — everything came together in the best possible way.
Every rider crossed the finish line with a full heart, a tired body, and a wide grin. Yes, the climbs were brutal. But the views — and the vibe — were worth every single pedal stroke.
Until Next Year
Jeroboam Gravel Italy 2025 showed us what happens when great routes, passionate people, and a shared love of gravel come together. To everyone who pedaled, danced, cheered, stretched, ate, and chilled — thank you.
