Gravel Bikes by nature of what they are designed to do, do not have to be expensive. If Road Bikes are designed for pure speed, and full suspension mountain bikes for huge obstacles and off road terrain - gravel bikes are designed to sit in the halfway house, capable of being ridden both off road, and on road.
The versatility of the design of gravel bikes means that these bikes do not demand the highest grade components, and there’s no costs associated with complex suspension designs. Of course, you can spend several thousand pounds on a gravel bike, and many do - but for most riders, spending up to around £3,000 on a gravel bike, gets you all of the gravel bike that you will ever want and need.
In and around the £3,000 mark, you can expect a carbon framed gravel bike, with a decent specification. These gravel bikes will have hydraulic disc brakes, carbon forks, internal cabling, alongside high quality drivetrains. At this price point, these bikes may also have dropper seatposts, specialist gravel bike suspension and the bikes will be optimised for fast paced riding.
All of the big bike brands have a presence in the gravel bike world at this price point, so you can expect to see bikes from the likes of Cannondale, Cube, Bergamont and Scott. This price point also gets you entry to more premium gravel bike models, such as Cervelo and Colnago.
These bikes tend to be race and speed focussed, so make perfect choices for those recreational riders wanting to push themselves. These bikes also make perfect sense for those competing on gravel bikes, as these have enough specification to make a difference when it comes to competing.
These bikes are also the perfect platforms to upgrade, at this price point - none of these bikes are ‘dream specification’ but the frames are universally great, meaning you can fine tune these bikes to your exact preferences and specification.
You can find all of our gravel bikes for around £3,000 above, and if you have any questions about the range - or which model is right for you and your requirements, get in touch and we will be happy to help.
