Gravel Bicycles Characteristics
Gravell bicycles are very versatile thanks to the fact that they have wider wheels, a more relaxed box geometry, front suspension - in some models - and a large number of accessories for adventure cycling. Some of its differential characteristics are the following:
Wider wheels
Wider wheels provide greater stability and traction in irregular terrain. This facilitates traction in off-road paths and dirt roads. In addition, the covers for Gravel have tacos similar to those of mountain bicycles.

The geometry of the box of a serious bicycle is more relaxed than that of a road bike. And its center of gravity is also higher, to provide a more comfortable and erect position for the cyclist and thus reduce fatigue and muscle tension in long distances.

There are even models that also incorporate cushioning into the rear axle. It is usually very short suspension tours. Some of the most innovative serious bicycle models in suspension are the Canyon Grizl Suspension, the Specialized Diverge Str and the BMC URS LT.
