Summary
The Rondo Ruut is a versatile gravel bike with adjustable geometry and a unique design aimed at providing a comfortable yet efficient ride. It excels in handling and ride quality, with a stiff frame that's efficient on flats and climbs, though some riders may find the front end too stiff.

The Rondo RUUT AL1 is a gravel bike that offers adjustable geometry via a TwinTip system built into the fork. The adjustments are subtle, but whatever the setting the RUUT is masses of fun to ride – though it doesn't stack up for spec against its competition.
