Budget-priced all-terrain adventure bike
Great comfort
Off-road versatility
Good handling
Single-piston disc brakes are so-so
Jul 2021 · Stu Kerton
An excellent entry point to gravel riding thanks to sorted geometry and a great ride quality from the Boardman's frameset
Quality groupset for the money
Great ride quality
Decent tyre clearances
Narrow rims don't lend themselves well to wide tyres
Very thin bar tape
Feb 2021 · Marc Abbott
British brand’s newest all-roader is high on versatility and fairly easy on the pocket
Easy-going geometry
Sprightly when it wants to be
Well geared
Well-specced tyres (with clearance for even wider)
Decent price
Comfortable for hours
Little to baulk at
Except perhaps the basic alloy finishing kit

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
