The best steel gravel bikes give you something different from gravel bikes made from other materials. Steel is a favourite of smaller-volume producers, so you can find unusual specs, often with geometries and components derived from mountain bikes rather than the road bike standards that are more commonly used in the best carbon gravel bikes, best aluminium gravel bikes and even the best...

The best titanium gravel bikes take advantage of the shiny metal’s distinct qualities, leading to its use in some of the best gravel bikes. It’s a great option for gravel racing, as well as bikepacking and more general off-road exploits. Firstly, titanium doesn’t corrode, which is a plus over most steel gravel bikes, where exposed metal can rust. This enables brands to offer unpainted,...

Having one of the best mountain bike mudguards on your bike may not be the most glamorous or exciting prospect, but when the trails get sloppy they are worth their weight a hundred times over.

Geometry defines how your bike rides, influencing your weight distribution, riding position and, ultimately, your confidence on the trail. In the last few years, most frame manufacturers have pushed hard to stay ahead of the curve, moving further towards ‘progressive’ slack and low geometry, without pushing into the realms of the absurd. However, aside from a few outliers, the curve seems to be...

One of the most important things to get right when choosing a new bike is the frame size. Although there’s a lot you can adjust on a bike so that it fits better, if you start off with a frame that’s too small or too large for you, you may be placed awkwardly and uncomfortable as you ride. That can result in aches and pains when cycling and your bike not handling as it should, both of which can...
