Test gravel bikes 2019: Key data and test field
We have decided to limit the maximum price for our test field to 2.600 euros. The background: Despite their suitability for the masses, gravel bikes are still more likely to be a second or third bike than the main bike for most cyclists out there. In this respect, the willingness to pay 3.000, 4.000 euros or even more is rather low; so there are a lot of different equipment variants in the test field, but the feather-light top models with weights under 8kg are not among them.
Test Gravelbikes 2019: test track and rider
In our test, we tried to collect conditions and impressions that were as comparable as possible for all bikes in order to give you, our readers, a largely objective impression of the more than a dozen bikes. For this we used two beautiful late summer days and tested all the bikes on the same test track: almost 25 km long, approx. 70% asphalt, 30% gravel or off-road, sometimes a bit rougher. We had bright sunshine on both days, so the same conditions and always the same test driver.
Test Gravelbikes 2019: That stood out
What did we notice during the test? The range of different orientations was actually remarkable, which of course also has to do with the somewhat vague definition of the gravel bike category. From the racing file to the comfortable long-distance tourer, everything was really there. The built-in drives are similar – with front derailleur or without? The test candidates are almost balanced here. By the way, there is no discussion about the brake systems used: disc brakes were installed on every wheel, most of them hydraulic, but there are also some mechanical variants.
