How to Choose a Gravel Bike
A category with a wide selection here at Circles. It is best to choose based on how you want to ride and whether you prefer a higher level of physical activity. Be careful, though—this is a deep category that excels at lightweight, rackless bikepacking styles!
WILDE BICYCLE Co Rambler SL
Featuring a carbon fork, this bike allows you to pursue a speedy and nimble ride on gravel. The frame geometry itself is designed to prevent an overly aggressive forward posture, making it recommended for those who want to balance weekend rides with daily commuting.
With a wide-clearance and convertible design that accommodates 700 x 50c or 650b x 2.2" tires, along with numerous eyelets for racks and fenders, it is also fully capable of gravel touring.
SKLER BIKES Super Something
Designed to accommodate tires up to 700x55c, it also supports 650b, allowing you to choose the tire size that best suits where you want to ride and what you want to try.
Since the frame accepts both drop and flat handlebars, it is recommended for those who want to use a quality product they truly love for a long time, regardless of passing trends.
DOPPO Locust
DOPPO is the ultimate tool for walking your own path, undisturbed by anyone. Among the lineup, this is the model best suited for off-road use. While its fundamental design is the same as an MTB, it features a geometry intended for a wide range of uses, making it capable of performing in various scenarios, from dirt touring to trail riding.
BIKE FRIDAY All Packa
Despite being a small-wheel bike, it features overwhelming tire clearance that can accommodate up to 2.8 inches, along with a multitude of eyelets for rackless packing. It is perfect for those who want to live a nomadic travel lifestyle, moving from one 2-to-3-day gravel tour to the next. While categorized as a gravel bike based on its intended riding terrain, it could also be described as a bike with strongly emphasized touring elements.
CRUST Bombora
While classified as a gravel bike, it is designed to be compatible with road bike components. However, it is engineered to accommodate 2.3-inch tires on 27.5-inch wheels and features a lower bottom bracket height, making it recommended for those who want to enjoy gravel riding with stability while maintaining the quick handling of a road bike.
RITCHEY Outback
With geometry carried over from touring bikes, such as a long wheelbase and a slacker head tube angle, this bike can be built to handle everything from on-road to gravel depending on how it's assembled, with clearance for 700x48mm or 650bx2.0 tires.
The original carbon fork with eyelets also suggests it is designed for the modern touring bike.
