With plenty of mounting points and the ability to accommodate large tyres don’t discount it for those epic days out either – this is a very capable machine whatever route you have planned for the day, and a worthy consideration as far as the best gravel bikes go.

Aug 2021 · Stu Kerton

Wide tyres and sorted gear ratios finish off a very comfortable and capable gravel adventure bike

Highs
  • 2x chainset works on the road and gravel

Lows
  • WTB tyre sidewalls weep sealant at first

  • I would prefer a slightly wider flare on the bar
