For This Bike
Oct 2021
The All-City Cycles Gorilla Monsoon Apex brings way more versatility than the majority of gravel bikes on the market, rather than being a slack angled road bike with larger tyre clearances the Monsoon is more of a dropped bar mountain bike. With huge tyre clearances and bolts for guards and racks, this is a machine that can do a bit of everything from a rough commute to touring the world. Strip it back though and it’s a fun bike to ride whether that be exploring your local by-ways or tackling a bit of singletrack in your local woods.

Our review of the All-City Gorilla Monsoon after a couple of months on gravel, forest roads, trails, and tarmac. Glitz and glamor or the real deal?
Clearance for massive 2.4″ tires afforded by 73mm bottom bracket shell.
Very quick feel considering this bike has 2.4″ tires.
Attention to detail with the bi-plane fork, reinforced bottle bosses, and E.D. coating.
Plenty of mounts, including three bottle mounts, rack and fender bosses, and a mid-blade fork mount.
Bike feels surprisingly confident on descents and technical terrain.
Some good components, such as the Cowchipper bars, Riddler tires, and cassette/derailleur.
Very heavy frame and wheels.
FSA crankset direct mount is for the birds.
Hayes mechanical disc brakes performed poorly.
Other equipment I didn’t like includes the very uncomfortable saddle, long stem, and heavy cockpit components.
