Gravel Bikes or Adventure bikes take the best from Tourers, Cyclocross Bikes, and Commuter Bikes and amalgamate them into one extremely
versatile do-it-all bicycle. Adventure bikes are without question the
most versatile bikes you can ride, capable of handling any bridleway,
towpath, trail, track or road that you can throw at it.
Gravel
bikes are: Designed for riding on mixed terrain, have wide tyres (28c+,
right up to 40c) for comfort and grip, clearance for mud, mounts for
bottle cages, unlike cyclocross race bikes, sometimes mounts for pannier
racks for longer adventures. They feature a lower bottom bracket than a
cyclocross race bike (less need for clearance), disc brakes for quick
stopping and sometimes have flared handlebars for control.
Adventure
and gravel bikes occupy much of the same space, and, in most cases are
two different names for the same machines. This is because of the
nuances between the types of riding available in the USA (long open
gravel roads) and the UK (bridleways and canal paths).
Gravel bikes are ideal for multi-terrain adventures – they’ll take you on bridlepaths, farm tracks, and of course gravel.
