WHAT IS A GRAVEL SPORTFIT BIKE?

A Gravel SPORTFIT bike takes the stability and toughness of a gravel bike and adds the control of a flat bar. With wider tyres, relaxed geometry and space for racks and bags, it’s built for comfort and confidence when the tarmac ends.

ARE GRAVEL SPORTFIT BIKES GOOD FOR BIKE PACKING?

Yes. Gravel SPORTFIT bikes are designed with mounts for racks, bottles and bags, making them perfect for carrying kit on multi-day trips. The upright riding position also helps reduce fatigue on long-distance adventures.

HOW DO GRAVEL SPORTFIT BIKES COMPARE TO MULTI-SURFACE SPORTFIT?

Multi-Surface SPORTFIT bikes are balanced between road and light trails. Gravel SPORTFIT bikes go further off-road, with more tyre clearance and geometry optimised for rough tracks, bridleways and loaded rides.

ARE FLAT BAR GRAVEL BIKES EASIER TO RIDE THAN DROP-BAR GRAVEL BIKES?

For many riders, yes. A flat bar gives more control on technical trails and descents, while the upright position offers better visibility and comfort. Riders who want multiple hand positions may still prefer drops, but flat bars give a simpler, more confident ride.

WHO SHOULD CHOOSE A GRAVEL SPORTFIT BIKE?

They’re ideal for riders who want stability and confidence on rough terrain, or who plan to use their bike for bike packing. If your riding takes you mainly off-road and you value comfort and control, a Gravel SPORTFIT bike is the right choice.
