Rough rider compressor free download3/25/2023 ![]() So those of us enthusiasts who ride road and gravel bikes will typically have at least 2 wheelsets – all-around road wheels and gravel wheels. The best-performing road wheels have historically been made in three categories – climbing wheels that are light, aero wheels that are deep, and mid-depth all-around wheels that perform well in a range of road riding situations and racing disciplines.Īnd the best gravel wheels have been another distinct category. But as you can see in the descriptions below, makers of the BMC Kaius, Cervello Aspero, Giant Revolt, Ridley Grifn, Specialized Crux, Trek Domane, and Wilier Rave each claim some all road status. ![]() The definition of an all road bike varies from brand to brand and some market them more as gravel race bikes. Instead, they share the geometries, tube shapes, and layup properties of road bikes, the clearance for wider tires found on gravel bikes, and the drivetrains and gear range found on either. These are not hybrid or Swiss Army knife-type bikes full of compromises. What is new, or at least newer, is that more brands are selling “all road” bikes designed to perform at the same high level on paved, dirt, and light gravel roads as those made only for paved or dirt and gravel surfaces. That’s nothing new though anecdotally, the number of us who’ve added gravel bikes to our collection seems to have grown over the last few years. Many roadies also ride gravel, cyclocross, or mountain bikes. What if you could ride one set of “all road” wheels that performed as well as the best road and gravel wheels?īefore I answer that question, let me put it into context.
