Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Grizzly Gravel is a cycling enthusiast website that provides a wealth of resources for gravel bike riders, adventure seekers, and aspiring cyclists. Here are some answers to the most common questions we get.

A gravel bike, also known as an adventure bike, is a type of bicycle designed to handle a variety of terrain, including paved roads, gravel paths, and light trails. It combines features from both road and mountain bikes, such as a lightweight frame, wider tires with more tread than road bikes, disc brakes for better stopping power, and a more upright and relaxed geometry for comfort on long rides. Gravel bikes are versatile and suitable for cyclists who want to explore different surfaces and enjoy a mix of on- and off-road riding.

When selecting a gravel bike, consider the following key features:

  • Frame material: Aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, or titanium, each with its own characteristics and price points.
  • Tire clearance: Look for a frame that can accommodate wider tires (typically 35-45mm) for better traction and comfort on varied surfaces.
  • Gearing: Gravel bikes often have a wide range of gears to handle different terrains and gradients. A 1x or 2x drivetrain with a wide-range cassette is common.
  • Brakes: Disc brakes, either mechanical or hydraulic, provide reliable stopping power in all weather conditions.
  • Mounts: Many gravel bikes have mounts for racks, fenders, and multiple water bottles, allowing you to carry gear for longer adventures.
  • Geometry: A longer wheelbase, slack head tube angle, and a taller head tube provide a more stable and comfortable ride on rough terrain.

Gravel cycling can be a safe and enjoyable way to explore new landscapes and challenge yourself on two wheels, as long as proper precautions are taken. While there are inherent risks involved in any form of cycling, these can be mitigated with the right approach. To stay safe while gravel cycling, it's essential to wear a properly fitted helmet, use lights and reflective clothing to increase visibility, familiarize yourself with the route and terrain, ride within your limits and skill level, carry a reliable means of communication, bring enough water, food, and essential tools, be aware of your surroundings, and follow the rules of the road or trail while being courteous to other users. By taking these precautions and riding responsibly, you can minimize the risks and fully enjoy the experience of gravel cycling.
