BIG NEWS FROM DALBY GRIT HQ

We’ve been listening carefully to rider feedback…
(mainly the heavy breathing, muttering, and “why is this so rough?!”)
So for this year, we’re making Dalby Grit faster, smoother, and—dare we say—more refined…

👉 We’re replacing sections of gravel with… tarmac.
Yes, you read that right.
Silky. Smooth. Glorious. Tarmac.
No more rattling bottles.
No more “is this tyre pressure or a life choice issue?”
Just pure, uninterrupted speed.
We’re even considering:
• White lines (for that authentic roadie feel)
• A couple of roundabouts (keep it spicy)
• And maybe… just maybe… a traffic light or two

Gravel bikes optional!!!!
Don’t worry—we’ve kept at least 200 metres of gravel so it still technically counts 😉
Happy April Fools 😏
