Our popular Original Gravel is at home in the city, but built to handle off-road adventures. This bike is a stylish all-rounder that packs speed, comfort and durability into one affordable bike.
The boom in Cyclocross and Gravel racing has led innovation into a new class of machine - fast, tough and comfortable on rough roads. All characteristics for the perfect commuter bike and off-road adventurer.
The Original Gravel bike is built around a tough steel frame with carefully chosen parts to give you an affordable entry into this exciting new way to ride. Steel is a strong, flexible material that gives top performance for the money. It soaks up the bumps and gives improved flex for responsiveness and comfort on those long days in the saddle.
True to the versatile nature of this gravel grinder bike, the steel frame features all the mounts you’ll need for front and rear pannier racks and other attachments to suit the daily grind or touring adventures.
This is a beautifully finished bike with chrome parts and all-purpose 40c tan wall tyres.
Key Features:
- Durable and flexible Hi-Ten steel All-Road frame with front and rear pannier rack mounts so you can set the bike up any way you like.
- LTWOO R5007 2x7 drivetrain for simple, wide-ranging operation.
- Alloy cantilever brakes for reliable stopping and control in mud and wet.
- 700 x 40C All-Road tan wall tyres on KT 32H alloy silver wheels.
FAQ - Gravel & Cyclocross
WHAT IS A GRAVEL GRINDER?
Think of it as similar to a CX bike built for Endurance riding that is also perfect for all-conditions commuting over distance.
TYRES
Gravel bikes typically run a 32-35mm wide tyre (as opposed to your standard Road bike at 23-25mm). Depending on the intended purpose of the bike, these tyres can often feature a small tread for traction in the dirt. These larger tyres help protect the rim against damage, reduces punctures, improves comfort in the saddle and they’ll also leave you less fatigued after riding along bumpy surfaces all day.
GEARING
Gravel creates more rolling resistance so these bikes get a little more emphasis at the lower end of the range. Durability of moving parts is also key for Gravel bikes given the rough conditions they are made to ride in - our gearing choices reflect this consideration.
FRAME
Both Gravel and CX bikes have strong frames and forks that are built tough for harsh treatment. The bikes feature clearance for the bigger tyres and any mud, and plenty of front/rear rack mounts for bikepacking, touring and fully loaded commuting.
Although similar to Cyclocross bikes, Gravel-grinders feature more relaxed geometry with a slacker head tube angle, a lower centre of gravity and longer tube lengths for a more comfortable ride over longer distances. Cyclocross bikes are designed to accelerate fast and corner quickly at lower speeds, but this can feel a bit ‘twitchy’ on endurance rides along wide-open gravel roads or long regular commutes.
BRAKES
Most quality gravel bikes feature disc brakes as they perform better in all conditions. If you’ve ever ridden to work in the wet, you’ll understand how this reliable power and control translates to a safer commute.

Home Delivery
Our bikes are shipped in a box 85% assembled and require basic assembly, like turning handlebars and inserting pedals. Check out our Assembly Videos that give instructions on how to do this.
Buy One, Plant One
Since January 2020 we have worked with not-for-profit reforestation partners to donate enough money to pay a local person a fair wage to grow, plant and guard to maturity 1 native tree for every bike we sell.
We've now planted more than 400,000 trees and counting!
