Summary
The Boardman ADV gravel bike series is celebrated for its versatility, offering a comfortable and secure ride across various terrains. It stands out for its robust frame, exceptional control off-road, and well-thought-out spec suited to adventure riding. While it excels in off-road performance, some models may feel sluggish on tarmac due to heavy tyres.
Versatile for various terrains
Robust frame and fork
Exceptional sense of control
Well thought-out spec suited to adventure riding
Great budget and inspired spec choices
Sluggish on the road
Original tyres too heavy/slow
Braking power could be better
Quick-release dropouts are less stiff than bolt-thru options
Adventure by name and adventure in its soul.
Cycling WeeklyThe Boardman ADV 8.8 is keenly priced, but we’ve often found that bikes from Boardman punch above their weight.
BikeRadarIt's a lot of bike for not a lot of money.

We all have our regular routes, roads and loops that offer a known ride-time. We then choose a route depending on how long we want to be out for. Riding an adventure bike showed me how much more there was to find
Great riding position
Simple and well thought-out finishing kit
Sluggish on the road
Original tyres too heavy/slow
