What is a Gravel Road Bike?
Gravel road bikes are a type of bicycle that originated in America, primarily designed for long-distance riding, with the ability to handle both dirt (gravel) roads and paved roads.
This new genre of road bike, the gravel bike, is currently attracting a lot of attention worldwide.
You're not looking to aggressively tackle mountain trails like with an MTB, but you want to venture onto gravel roads and uneven paths during your tours. You want to embark on long-distance journeys by bicycle.
To meet these demands, gravel road bikes feature handling that prioritizes straight-line stability, disc brakes with excellent stopping power, wide tires for rough terrain, and a lighter gear ratio. They also have a robust frame designed for increased carrying capacity for bikepacking and camp rides.
Unlike cyclocross bikes, they are not race-oriented. Every element of a gravel road bike exists to expand the scope of your adventures.
