HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT GRAVEL BIKE?

Gravel Bikes are bikes built specially to withstand rugged off-road conditions and city roads. Their sporty geometry, rough and rigid body, curled handlebars, wide tires, and better height make them ideal for streets and hills. 

Gravel bikes are ideal for places like Ireland, with multiple unique terrains in their proximity. We’ll help you understand the meaning of a gravel bike and help you choose from some of the best gravel bikes in Dublin and Dundalk.


What is a Gravel Bike?

A gravel bike provides proper handling, improves grip on the road, and is ideal for tight turns. Gravel bikes are the perfect combination of the best road features, adventure, mountains, etc.

It is generally far more rigid than road bikes, is usually lighter than proper mountain bikes, and supports more accessories than an adventure bike.

What To Look For In a Gravel Bike?

Selecting the perfect gravel bike is no joke. You must look for some essential things before making a purchase. Here are a few things that should be on your mind when buying a gravel bike.

  1. Mountain vs. Roads: You must be aware of the landscape where you’ll be riding the bike. Gravel bikes come with other specialities inclined towards mountains, roads, or adventure. Be sure of what you want to prioritize.

 

  1. Tires: If you have a rough use case requiring a lot of sharp turns, off-roading, and rough terrains, you must prefer wider tires. Larger tires are instrumental when riding uphill.

 

  1. Build Quality: An ideal gravel bike should be built with the highest quality materials, ensuring resistance to any impact.

 

  1. Accessories: Be aware of included and optional accessories that you’d need. Extra luggage capacity, support for headlights, reflectors, etc. should be taken into account

 

  1. Price: Of course, once you know all the above needs, you must choose the gravel bike that comes with the perfect price.
