Berria’s latest entry into the ever-expanding gravel arms race is a full-on, no-holds-barred race rig—built for the fast crowd chasing podiums, PRs, and tire-shredding efficiency. Meet the Berria Naii, a purpose-built, carbon gravel racer that pulls heavy inspiration from the brand’s road-going Belador while embracing the evolving demands of “Fast Gravel.”
It’s doing so with all the modern hits: 50mm tire clearance, full internal routing, aero tube profiles, and, in its top build, a 7.85kg complete bike running SRAM’s new 13-speed Red XPLR AXS group. The frame is claimed to weigh 902 grams, a reduction of over 300 grams compared to the previous generation.
From Belador to Naii: Road DNA Meets Gravel Intentions
Like many modern gravel race bikes, the Naii is a road bike at heart, but with dirt-ready execution. The silhouette screams aero, with dropped stays and a slippery front end, but Berria took care not to carry over excessive stiffness that can punish riders over long, chunky courses.
To balance that equation, they’ve introduced a Softex system, a flex zone where the seatstays meet the seat tube. The Softex system offers a claimed 20mm in rear travel and 8mm in the Tibia Aero post.
Similar in spirit to Cannondale’s Kingpin, it allows the rear triangle to pivot just enough to absorb trail chatter without compromising lateral rigidity. This flex-style suspension is the same system Berria uses on its Bravo hardtail mountain bike with great success, and it looks great.
That system, paired with Berria’s Tibia Aero seatpost (which is tuned for a claimed 8mm of vertical compliance), should help keep riders fresher for longer in bumpy gravel events.

Lighter, Faster & Ready to XPLR
At the core of the Naii is a carefully layered carbon chassis, using a mix of T1100G, T800, and T700 fibers to tune stiffness and compliance where needed. That blend helps deliver an ultra-low frame weight while still providing pedaling efficiency when it counts.
Top builds get SRAM’s freshly minted 13-speed Red XPLR AXS drivetrain UDH-ready, wireless, and built for the rough stuff. The fully integrated Berrias in-house Avan bar/stem combo weighs a claimed 320g for the set. The internally routed bar/stem kit keeps cables entirely tucked out of sight, adding to the bike’s sleek, race-day appearance.
Builds, Pricing, and Availability
The Naii is offered in four different builds, covering a broad spectrum of budgets and component choices. Every model features a carbon frame with clean routing and a Softex rear triangle. Each build can be further customized at the factory, offering riders options for the cockpit, wheels, and saddle. And while the price tag may vary, the mission is consistent—speed across any surface.

Can I Buy a Berria In the USA?
It’s unclear from the website. When you try to order a bike, you are required to fill out a contact form. That means Berria will pair you with a dealer, but it’s not very clear. We’ve reached out to Berria for clarification, but after reading and writing about it, I hope you can.
