WHAT IS A STEEL GRAVEL BIKE BEST FOR?

Steel gravel bikes are best for riders who want a versatile, durable bike for mixed terrain. They’re ideal for gravel trails, light touring, commuting and long-distance adventures.

WHY CHOOSE STEEL OVER CARBON OR ALUMINIUM?

Steel offers a unique ride feel thanks to its natural vibration-damping qualities. It’s tough, repairable and long-lasting, making it popular with riders who value comfort and reliability as much as performance.

ARE STEEL GRAVEL BIKES HEAVY?

Modern steel frames are much lighter than older designs. While not as light as carbon, a steel gravel bicycle balances weight with strength, durability and comfort, making it perfect for multi-surface riding.

CAN I USE A STEEL GRAVEL BIKE FOR COMMUTING?

Yes. With rack and mudguard mounts, disc brakes and stable handling, steel gravel bikes are excellent all-weather commuters.

WHAT’S THE BEST STEEL GRAVEL BIKE IN THE UK?

The best steel gravel bike depends on your needs. Ribble’s Steel Gravel range is designed and built in the UK, offering versatile geometry and customisable specs to suit your riding style.
