The gravel bike is designed to be a "multipurpose bike", combining the characteristics of a road bike and a mountain bike, perfect for asphalt, dirt or gravel trails.
Carbon gravel or cyclocross bikes are the ideal choice for those looking for the ultimate in lightness, rigidity and comfort. Thanks to carbon, these frames are super light and able to offer excellent torsional rigidity, improving power transmission and reactivity on all types of terrain. In addition, the thin and aerodynamic shapes of the tubes not only contribute to the lightness, but also give it a sleek and modern look.
Although the price of these bikes is medium-high, the comfort over long distances and resistance to minor impacts justify the investment. On the other hand, it is important to remember that carbon can be more sensitive to impacts than other materials.
It is a material appreciated by many brands and chosen by numerous "gravellists"!
