Gravel bikes are very much on trend in the UK right now, you’ll struggle to find a bike manufacturer that doesn’t have at least one in their line-up. Versatile, rugged and adaptable – gravel bikes are for the rider looking to venture away from tarmac and explore new avenues.
With comfort-orientated geometry, disc brakes and clearance for wider tyres, gravel bikes are tailor-made for riding in the UK – perfect for exploring country lanes, bridleways and forest tracks. Suited for on and off-road riding, a gravel bike will do the job as a commuter, a lightweight tourer, a great winter training bike or simply a do-it-all machine to discover your sense of adventure. The Cervelo Aspero, Cannondale Topstone, Cannondale SuperX and The Trek Checkpoint are top of their class.

Gravel bikes sit neatly between road and mountain bikes, blending the efficiency of a road machine with the robustness needed for off‑road exploration. They feature drop bars, disc brakes, and wide tyre clearance, allowing riders to confidently tackle everything from smooth tarmac to country lanes, bridleways and light trails.
While both aim for mixed‑terrain use, hybrids typically have flat bars and more upright geometry—great for daily comfort and commuting. Gravel bikes, with their drop bars, offer varied hand positions and more efficient performance across diverse conditions.
Gravel bikes strike a balance:
From the likes of the Cannondale Topstone, SuperX, and Trek Checkpoint to the Cervelo Aspero, Cube Nuroad, Merida Silex and more, gravel bikes offer something for every type of rider.
