For those who want a fun and fast ride and to not be wedded to asphalt, these bikes are for you. Gravel bikes are made for off the beaten track - a bike for explorers. Go forth and conquer!

The best thing about these bikes are their ability to do pretty much everything. They make good road bikes as they're sporty, light and share a similar geometry, indeed it's quite common for folk to use them as their 'winter bike.' Larger tyres allow for more grip and comfort in the colder months and obviously when the road runs out, you can carry on going with no fear!

For more road-oriented adventures a more traditional touring bike will do, though the categories are blurring. We can advise you on what best suits.

All these bikes are good for luggage carrying - with lots of mounting points you can load them up with new-fangled bike packing kit, or old school panniers, touring style. We keep a broad selection at Cycle Heaven - with carbon, aluminium or steel frames.
