Boardman TRVL 8.9 DB gravel bike review

Jun 2025

Boardman has expanded its gravel range with the TRVL, with this 8.9 DB showcasing a balance of value and performance, while also being one of the very few bikes at this price point to include a suspension fork. The geometry is spot on, the ride quality is great, as is the spec list, all backed up by an impressive warranty that makes it worthy of a spot amongst the best gravel bikes.
