Summary
The Rondo Ruut gravel bike family offers versatile performance with adjustable geometry, making it fun on and off road. It features a carbon frame with compliance and wide tires for comfort, alongside a sub-compact double drivetrain for efficient gearing. However, some models face criticism for spec niggles and underpowered components.
Adjustable geometry via TwinTip system
Compliance in the carbon frame and wide tires
Sub-compact double drivetrain for efficient gearing
Good on long days out with long reach
Plenty of mounting options
Spec doesn't stack up against competition
Underpowered brakes with little adjustment
Slow shifting and frequent mis-shifts with SRAM Apex drivetrain
Fiddly geometry swap
Uncomfortable saddle
Rondo is adding something revolutionary to their Ruut 2x gravel bikes for 2021, gasp… a front derailleur.
BikerumorIt’s not a cheap bike, though, and with its spec niggles there are probably better options out there if you’re looking to drop £4,000 on a gravel bike.
CyclistThe RUUT AL1 is a great looking bike with an almost industrial aesthetic.

The Rondo Ruut is an innovative step forward in versatility and multi-terrain riding, though will suit gravel fans more than road riders
The TwinTip fork is a great innovation that makes a noticeable difference
Very good handling off-road
Great balance of stiffness and comfort
Slightly pricey in this spec
Suited more to gravel than road riding

Novel technology that works to deliver two rides, one racier than the other – and both are great
Plush road and all-road bike with adjustable geometry and quality kit
Some may find the 42x11 top gear a little low

The Rondo Ruut CF2 is a fast and surefooted carbon fibre gravel bike with a neat trick up its sleeve - adjustable geometry - providing a small level of ride attitude tuning that helps it stand out in an increasingly crowded market. I’d like to see wider tyres fitted as standard though, but that aside there's a lot to like here.

What are the gravel bike traits that will get a retired rockstar excited and what do those have to do with roundabouts? We headed eastwards into Poland to test the RONDO RUUT ST and find the answers. If the lead singer of the Polish pop-punk band Blenders and founder of RONDO is anything then he’s […]
