Gravel Bike Appreciation Post!
Gravel is great! Regardless of your riding background, be it road or MTB, or maybe you commute and log the miles on the local cycle path, Gravel riding is the overlap of the venn diagram, the common ground, the great melting pot where everyone can get involved, appreciate the ride and have a good time.
A modern gravel bike opens up big adventure days, new terrain, faster off road rides with more ground covered and, sometimes, a grin inducing, type-2 fun kind of day out that can't help but get you smiling.
We're lucky that, across our brands, we've got gravel models to suit every type of rider; from the fast paced Merida Mission and Cervélo Áspero, to the big rubber boasting Mondraker Arid and Norco Search. We've even got custom titanium frame options from Enigma, all of which can be specced and built to your exact needs.
If you're still not on the gravel train, this is your sign to give in, buy the bike and get involved! We're getting together for monthly gravel group meet ups throughout the year, exploring new routes and areas both close to home and further afield.
Still not convinced? Drop by the shop some time, come for a coffee and a chat, and see if we can get you out on a demo ride to see what all the fuss is about. We guarantee you'll enjoy it.
