FOR LONG MILES ON ALL SURFACES

A new genre of cycling has taken center stage throughout the world. Gravel. One could argue gravel came from the plethora of glorious dirt roads found in Vermont, long secretly hidden by the locals. Where you can ride seemingly forever without large, unfriendly vehicles threatening your very existence.

The popularity of the sport has spawned a new generation bicycles with geometries very similar to road bikes, but designed with more comfort for longer rides. They allow wider tires with a variety of tread patterns to accommodate different riding surfaces and even offer optional forks and dropper posts.

Gravel bikes are equally happy being ridden on gravel or paved roads, pathways, rail trails or even a good single track when presented.

Because of this, they have become a sort of universal bicycle.
