oct 2018 · Robin Wilmott

The Grade is a quick, road-orientated bike that still likes to get its feet dirty. Buy if you want a light bike with proper road speed and decent gravel potential

Highs
  • Carbon frameset, Stan’s wheelset, very good value

Lows
  • Narrow high-pressure tyres aren’t ideal off road
