Highly capable, with a performance that shines on any surface as it smooths out bumps with the skinniest of skinny rear stays – and a very competitive price – the new GT Grade Carbon Expert is a top choice in an increasingly crowded gravel bike market. Merlin Malt-G1X Apex 1 gravel bike review Juice Lubes Frame Juice gloss polish and protector review Five things that weren't cool - until gravel happened First launched in 2014 into an emerging gravel scene, GT's Grade hit all the right notes for roadies just beginning to venture off-road.

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

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
Tyres not the best choice for UK conditions
