Gravel bikes are more capable than ever before but can a gravel bike really replace a road bike, a gravel bike and a mountain bike? To find out we set Ed the challenge of riding nothing but a gravel bike for 3 months to find out whether a gravel bike is the only bike you need in 2026.
During this time Ed used the gravel bike on a bike packing trip, time trial up Alp d'Huez, commuting by bike and of course for gravel cycling. In this video we look at a gravel bike vs a road bike and see whether a gravel bike simply has too many compromises to be one bike for all your cycling needs including road cycling.
Do you think a gravel bike is the only bike you need in 2026? Let us know in the comments below...
