As far as the best gravel bikes go, carbon fibre is the go-to material when it comes to frame and fork construction. And while it does have many benefits, metal frames can deliver an equally impressive riding experience, too, and I’m not talking about aluminium, steel or titanium here but rather magnesium. Yep, you read that right.

Mid-cycle updates have improved the A/1, but the frame geometry is still a little too goofy for our liking.

Goofy frame geometry, non-tubeless tires, mysteriously slow-feeling, slightly too-tall gearing.
