The Grade is a quick, road-orientated bike that still likes to get its feet dirty. Buy if you want a light bike with proper road speed and decent gravel potential
Carbon frameset, Stan’s wheelset, very good value
Narrow high-pressure tyres aren’t ideal off road

Phenomenal ride character and overall package
Sturdy build adds kilos

Versatile, fast and capable multi-terrain bike that's impressive straight out of the box, but it's pricey

GT launched the Grade two years ago, billing it more as an endurance bike with extra versatility, rather than just a gravel machine. The tire clearance, geometry, and feature set were decidedly progressive then, but how does it fare today? After more than three months on a top-end Grade Carbon Ultegra model, U.S.

Brilliant ride on and off road
Top spec for adventure road riding
Great stability and control
