What is a gravel bike?

A gravel bike allows you to ride on paved roads and dirt tracks. At first glance, the bike looks like a road bike. However, its wide tyres, frame geometry and components are adapted to gravel roads and forest paths. The Gravel Bike offers more comfort than a cyclocross bike and is almost as agile as a road bike. This makes it suitable for extended bikepacking adventures or weekend rides.

The advantages of a gravel bike

There are so many advantages to gravel bikes, so we’ll discuss just a few. As a cross between a road bike, mountain bike and cyclocross bike, gravel bikes are incredibly capable across rough terrain and smooth roads.

How is a gravel bike different from a road bike?

There are many similarities between a road bike and a gravel bike such as the shape of the frame and drop bars. Unlike a road bike, you are not bound to roads or paved cycle paths. Gravel bikes are some kind of adventure road bike. See a bridleway? Find out where it leads to. Like the look of that forest path? Go on - gravel adventure awaits!

Depending on the accessories, the Gravel Bike can be used as an everyday bike or for specific cycling trips. You can mount custom-fit mudguards at the mounting points to protect you from splashing water and dirt. The frame geometry of Gravel Bikes is more versatile than our competition-orientated cyclocross bikes ensuring a comfortable ride.

Are gravel bikes similar to mountain bikes?

Like mountain bikes, gravel bikes also feature wide, comfortable tyres, high-quality hydraulic disc brakes and a good range of gears for all terrain. Combined with a more upright riding position, you’ll have maximum control and stability off-road while maintaining speed on the tarmac.

Maximum power with an e-gravel bike

An e-gravel bike allows you to ride longer distances and faster speeds with less effort. Gravel bikes with electric motors offer you a dynamic riding experience and powerful support on demanding terrain.
