Summary

The Rondo HVRT is a highly versatile and innovative gravel bike that excels in both speed and fun, offering adjustable geometry for varied riding styles. Its design allows for a pleasant mix of relaxed geometry with sprightly acceleration, making it suitable for a wide range of terrains. While it may not handle very technical terrain as well as dedicated gravel bikes, its adaptability and performance on mixed surfaces are standout features.

Pros
  • Extremely versatile

  • Innovative TwinTip fork allows geometry adjustment

  • Fast and fun to ride

  • Pleasant mix of relaxed geometry with sprightly acceleration

  • Large tyre clearances for comfort

Cons
  • Adjustable geometry is innovative but likely to be a one-time switch

  • Not a fully-fledged aero bike

  • Couldn’t handle very technical terrain as competently as a true gravel bike

  • Aluminium frame isn't quite as refined as others on the market

Key Quotes
‘Nope, it’s a road bike,’ says Tomasz Cybula, brand manager of Rondo. ‘A unique one, but still a road bike.’
