Gravel bikes have become a popular choice for riders looking for a versatile and adventurous ride. But what are gravel bikes and what does gravel riding involve?
Gravel bikes are drop bar bikes, similar to road bikes, but with lower gearing and thicker tyres to handle a variety of surfaces. Think of it as a combination of a road bike and a mountain bike, allowing you to ride trails, single track, forest roads, bridleways, and byways faster than you would on a road or mountain bike.
BikeRadar’s video “What even is a gravel bike” provides an in-depth look at gravel riding in the UK. It covers frame materials, geometry, comfort, wheels, tyres, gearing options, accessory mounts, and how gravel riding compares to road bikes, mountain bikes, and cyclocross bikes.
