Should You Buy A Road Bike Or A Gravel Bike? | GCN Tech Show Ep. 130

Clock00:00, Thursday 18th June 2020

This week on the GCN Tech show, Manon and Ollie wade into the long running debate - should you buy a road bike or gravel bike? Road bikes boast lighter weight and faster speeds, but gravel bikes have the increased versatility to take you anywhere you want to go! We also take a look at some hot new tech from Wattshop and Fizik, as well as all your usual favourites from the Bike Vault and your upgrades!

Get involved with this week's Tech Show through the GCN App!
