Road and gravel bikes cater to different riding experiences. Here's how they compare:
- Purpose: Road bikes are designed for speed and efficiency on paved surfaces, while gravel bikes handle mixed terrains, including dirt and gravel paths.
- Geometry: Road bikes have an aggressive geometry for aerodynamics, whereas gravel bikes offer a more relaxed, comfortable ride.
- Tires: Gravel bikes have wider tires with better grip for off-road conditions, while road bikes have narrower, smoother tires for speed.
- Versatility: Gravel bikes are versatile and can handle various conditions, making them ideal for adventure cycling.
- Components: Gravel bikes often have more robust components to withstand rough terrains.
