Gravel bikes and bikepacking news
Gravel bikes are a relatively new bike category that is quickly gaining popularity. They are designed to be used on the road as well as on unpaved paths and gravel roads.
This versatility makes it a suitable bike for a variety of activities such as commuting, adventure touring or long weekend rides. Their wider tires and more robust frame construction make them ideal for difficult terrain and demanding track conditions.
Gravel bikes are closely related to bikepacking. Bikepacking is a type of bicycle touring in which cyclists go on longer adventure tours with light luggage and special equipment. In contrast to traditional bicycle tours, where heavy luggage is transported on the bike, bike packers rely on lighter and more compact equipment.
