The Gravel Bike Buyer's Guide | How to Choose Your Next Gravel Bike | Contender Bicycles

2023-01-11に共有
Gravel bike, all-road bike, adventure bike, gravel race bike: what's the difference? We break down all the changes and features you need to know to choose your next bike. What about specific models? Well, we follow up our guide with five of our favorite gravel bikes of 2022 to help you sort out which bike is best for you.

A gravel bike isn't just a gravel bike. At least, not anymore. While most anyone can get out there and enjoy the best gravel grinding has to offer, you deserve to find exactly the right bike before spending your money. We highlight five bikes that we feel outline what people are looking for most frequently. The BMC Kaius is the latest gravel race bike from Switzerland. The TIME ADHX is a beautifully-made entry into the all-road category. The OPEN UP and UPPER are the classic gravel bike made perfect, while the Moots Routt 45 and 3T Exploro Ultra straddle the line between gravel bike and adventure bike.

  • beatiful gravel bikes.. they looked awesome on those detailed shots o. the steps
  • The 3T didn’t have enough of what I needed but the Trek Project One did.
  • @MrSzwarz
    I see that TIME ADHX bike has been treated very vaguely, it is the best bike frame you can buy for your monet. Technilogy, quality, tolerances and materials used to buil theses frames is far ahead any other brand. Comfort, lifetime warranty, and detail is mind blowing. Worth every penny.
  • @eagerbob
    Pretty high- end bike selection you have there. If I HAVE to choose I'll have the Time ADHX please. In blue with slick tires and a 2x setup.
  • Looking to getting into gravel racing.Want to be competitive but not ultra serious.I had my heart set on a Terra would this work as you said it falls into the gravel but not race gravel.
  • Trying to figure out why TREK’s Project One AXS wireless eTap SLR. Light and strapless bag mounting. Seems like it’s what this guy like maybe ?
  • Where do the full suspension gravel bikes fit in? BMC URS and Cannondale Topstone Lefty? I think they go in the "gravel" category. The Topstone Lefty is something between xc mountainbike and cyclocross. Comfort before speed.
  • @TakeOnMe5
    Unfortunately it's not a choice of Gravel bike these days anymore, but a matter of availability of popular bikes on the world bike market.
  • Hmm 🤔 all these bikes are born from either a road bike or CX bike. I wish more brands would look at producing a gravel bike born from a mountain bike. Like the Chamois hagar, in my opinion, its the best Gravel bike out there. But that's a view from a mountain biker and not a roadie.
  • nice video and nice bikes. in that price range i prefer used cars.

    Better to wait with buying a gravel-bike. There is a very very fast development in gravelbikes at the moment. Up to date is a suspension-fork, and maybe there will be some other new and important innovation like full-suspension in this genre. There are some of the newest gravelbikes with a straight handlebar (as you can see on YouTube). Dropbar is an relict of yesterday.
  • I'm old school, no carbon and no disc for me. I still don't understand why current bikes think that a straight carbon fork is better than a steel raked fork.
