All-Road Vs Gravel: The Do-It-All Bike Challenge

Clock00:00, Saturday 27th November 2021

All-road and gravel bikes have a lot of similarities. Wider tyres, relaxed geometry more stable steering, and the ability to traverse multiple terrains. With Wilier launching the Rave, a frameset which can be set up as either a gravel or an all-road bike, we decided to put it to the test. It’s an out-and-back race (with a pub stop of course!) between Si on the all-road set-up and Alex on the gravel. Who do you think will win?
