A gravel bike is, in short, a combination of an MTB and a road bike. A comfortable, universal bike for overcoming various surfaces (gravel, forest and mountain paths, sand, asphalt, etc.). Wider tires, disc brakes, a must-have dropbar (or maybe not?!) and a simple drivetrain (e.g. 2×11, 1×11) from Shimano GRX, Sram, Campagnolo Ekar. Our gravel bikes are a steel frame from Columbus ZONA (or other appropriate tubes), a carbon fork and a full range of options for routing cables or the number and location of mounting points (e.g. for racks, water bottles, panniers, travel bags).
Steel gravel is perfect for multi-day / multi-month bicycle trips around the world, ultra races or simply bicycle wanderings, in which the goal is the road – the more wild and inaccessible the better.
