Gravel bikes allow you to follow all roads and create a much broader riding adventure. 

With frame geometry and tyres, appropriate to the task of exploring routes that start where conventional roads end, gravel bikes are different for a reason. They roll more robust tyres than a conventional road bike and feature reinforced frame structures.
