The Gravel bike<\/strong> is suitable for pedaling on “white roads”.<\/h4>\n

It is a perfect compromise between the road bike<\/strong>, for the frame, the handlebar and the diameter of the wheels, the mountainbike<\/strong> (the tessellated design of the tires and some characteristics of the components are similar) and the historical bikes<\/strong>, of which it often copies the construction material, geometries and driveability.<\/h4>\n

\n\t\t\t\tHOW IT WORKS\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]The conformation of the gravel bike<\/strong> allows you to spend many hours on your bike on itineraries with mixed path (road and offroad) thanks also to the stability and ability to adapt to the terrain<\/strong> of the mountain bike<\/a><\/span>. Add to this the agility and driving comfort <\/strong>typical of road bikes.<\/p>\n

The gravel bike<\/strong> therefore represents the meeting point between the world of road riders who want to ride off-roads, without using a MTB, and bikers who wish to extend their rides without being forced to use a racing bike.<\/p>\n

The gravel bike<\/strong> is not a mtb. When the trail becomes technical, the rigid fork, the racing bend and the riding position are really hard to tolerate, transforming some very simple steps with a mtb, into an impossible challenge.<\/p>\n

But, with some technical precautions, it can also be safely used to face single tracks and technical sections, both rise and downhill, obviously adapting speed and driving style compared to what you would do in Mtb.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, we can consider gravel bikes a perfect travel bike<\/strong>. Gravel bike trips<\/strong> are becoming very popular, thanks to the fact that this type of bike gives the possibility to travel on mixed terrain and therefore reach destinations that could not be reached with a racing bike or a mtb.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row anchor=”sport”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”]

\n\t\t\t\tWHEN and WHERE to GO\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]For a daily excursion, a weekend, or a trip, the gravel bike is ideal both on white roads (for which it was born), and on asphalt or off-roads.<\/p>\n

This is why it can be used all year round<\/strong> and for many different routes.<\/p>\n

Here we give you just a few ideas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Choose specialized guides who will take you on dedicated trails, tailored for you, with enough variety and points of interest, to allow you to fully immerse in the gravel experience.<\/p>\n

Then let yourself go, lower your head in the queue of those who ride in front of you downhill and you will see that the adrenaline level will increase quickly.<\/p>\n
