A brilliant introduction to the world of gravel
Big value
Great frameset
Confident handling
2x grx can be noisy
Front derailleur requires regular adjustments
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
