Gravel bikes
Gravel bikes, also known as adventure bikes or all-road bikes, are a type of bicycle designed to handle a wide variety of terrains, including gravel roads, dirt paths, and rugged trails. These bikes are a hybrid of road and mountain bikes, with features that make them suitable for long rides on unpaved roads or off-road adventures.
Gravel bikes typically feature drop handlebars, wide tires, and a geometry that provides comfort, control and efficiency over a wide variety of terrain. They also have disc brakes, which provide better stopping power and control on loose surfaces, as well as a wider gear range to help riders tackle steep climbs and descents.
At Primeau Vélo, we have Trek, Giant, Cube, and Cannondale bikes that are all prominent brands in the gravel bike market, offering high-quality bikes with varying features and specifications.
Trek's Checkpoint series is one of the most popular options, featuring lightweight frames, wide tire clearance, and endurance geometry that provides comfort on long rides. The Checkpoint also has a range of models that cater to different budgets and riding styles.
Giant's Revolt series is designed for adventure riding and features an updated frame with an advanced-grade composite fork for shock absorption. Its D-Fuse seat post and handlebar system also enhance comfort and reduce fatigue on long rides.
Cube's Nuroad series is a versatile bike that combines the speed and efficiency of a road bike with the ruggedness and durability of a gravel bike. Its lightweight carbon frame, 38mm tires, and hydraulic disc brakes provide excellent performance on mixed terrain routes.
