What Is a Gravel Bike?

A gravel bike blends road speed with off-road stability. Wider tyres, lower gearing and confident geometry make it ideal for mixed terrain including gravel paths, forest tracks, rural lanes and uneven surfaces. It’s designed to be versatile, efficient and comfortable across long miles when the ground keeps changing.

Why Choose a Gravel Bike?

  • Go beyond: Wide tyres and stable geometry keep control on dirt, trail and tarmac.
  • All round capability: Switch from fast training rides to bikepacking weekends with ease.
  • Built for comfort: Tuned to soak up vibration and stay steady over long miles.
  • Choice of frames: Carbon for speed, titanium for comfort, aluminium for value, or go electric for extra range.
  • Hand built in the UK: Designed and tested on real British terrain.

Who Are Gravel Bikes For?

Gravel bikes suit riders who value freedom, speed and versatility. They link lanes and bridleways, explore year round and turn everyday rides into small adventures — or big challenges. Here’s who they’re built for:

  • Adventure Riders: The perfect adventure bike. Wide tyres and stable geometry thrive on mixed terrain, bridleways and forest tracks. Take the scenic route, detour down a trail and keep going when the tarmac ends.
  • Endurance and Bikepackers: Comfort-focused design, multiple mounting points and generous storage options make long-distance rides and multi-day trips simple. Load up, settle in and ride as far as your legs will take you.
  • Gravel Racers: For those chasing speed. Lightweight frames, aggressive geometry and race-ready components deliver the efficiency and control you need to push the pace on gravel events and fast mixed-surface rides.
