Gravel and adventure bikes for mixed terrain
Gravel bikes have exploded in popularity – and for good reason. They're the ultimate do-it-all machine: fast on the road, capable off it, and perfect for bikepacking adventures.
Whether you call it gravel, adventure, or all-road cycling, these bikes open up a world of riding that pure road or MTB can't reach. Fire roads, towpaths, farm tracks, and that 'shortcut' you've always wondered about.
Look for clearance (40mm tyres minimum, 45mm+ is better), mounts for bags and bottles, and a geometry that balances stability with responsiveness. 1x drivetrains keep things simple; 2x gives you a bigger gear range.
