Wide tyres and sorted gear ratios finish off a very comfortable and capable gravel adventure bike
2x chainset works on the road and gravel
Good value
Geometry gives smooth, balanced handling
WTB tyre sidewalls weep sealant at first
I would prefer a slightly wider flare on the bar

British steel for big adventures
Great handling
Ride comfort
Quality frame
Below-par saddle
Some cassette noise
