    FAQs

    Are there suitable mudguards for the Blend and Hobo?
    Yes, you can find precisely fitting Blend mudguards from SKS Germany here. The Hobo mudguards from SKS, which can also be permanently mounted, are available here.
    How do I choose the right frame size for a gravel bike?
    First, please measure your inside leg length. Use a spirit level and a meter stick to help you. Lean against a wall without shoes, hold the spirit level straight and pull it high up into your crotch. Measure the result from the floor to the top edge of the spirit level. The recommendations for your bike model are indicated in the size selection in the ordering process. The size recommendations for the Blend are based on body height.
    How much luggage can I carry on the Backroad luggage rack?
    The maximum load for the Backroad luggage carrier is 8 kg per side, i.e. 16 kg in total.
    What is the difference between a randonneur, hybrid bike and touring bike?
    A randonneur is a lightweight, sporty long-distance bike for fast tours with little luggage, while a hybrid bike is designed for more luggage and offers a more upright riding position. Another characteristic feature of the randonneur is the drop bar. The touring bike, on the other hand, is designed for long and demanding tours, is particularly robust and can carry heavy loads.
    Aluminium or carbon? Which bike is better for you?
    That depends entirely on your intended use. An aluminium frame is more robust in everyday use than a carbon frame. Carbon, on the other hand, is lighter, more direct in its handling and can absorb shocks and vibrations better.
    How can I best care for my gravel bike?
    It is important to clean and oil the chain – depending on use, but at the latest after riding in the rain. You should also wash your bike regularly and then lubricate moving parts such as the rear derailleur.
    Can I order two sizes to choose from in the store?
    If you are unsure about the size, it is best to book a consultation appointment with a test ride. We will then order the desired size for later collection from the store.
    Can I test ride a bike without an appointment?
    Yes, that’s generally possible. In this case, however, you should expect some waiting time and preferably visit us during the week, with sufficient time until closing time.
    What do I do if the bike I want is not available for a test ride?
    Here you will find lists of the test and exhibition bikes in the respective stores. If your desired bike is not available in the exact configuration, you can often test your frame size in a different colour or equipment variant.

    That's what you can expect from a everyday gravel bike.

    Bring more movement into your everyday life. These bikes make it easy to switch. Practical for running errands, comfortable for commuting, fast on the training lap and enduring on tour. With the Everyday gravel bikes you can experience everything and do everything. They combine sport, everyday life and adventure like no other bike category. If you're looking for a bike for all occasions, this is for you.



    What are the features of an everyday gravel bike? Everyday gravel bikes stand for versatility and suitability for everyday use. With comfortable geometries and practical equipment, they bridge the gap to urban and hybrid bikes, but remain true to their gravel genes and their basic sports focus. Maximum speed and challenging terrain, on the other hand, are left to the Race and Adventure segment.
    These bikes range from modified adventure bikes with full equipment to ones that set accents with robust frame materials and a more upright cycling posture. What they all have in common is the desire to enable rapid progress even in urban areas and to adapt flexibly to everyday conditions.
    All everyday gravel bikes therefore offer the option of fitting mudguards and stands if these are not already installed. Lightweight gravel tyres with moderate treads and tyre widths are also typical. On the other hand, the devices for carrying luggage vary – depending on how sporty, stylish or practical you prefer it.

    Alu vs. carbon vs. steel: differences and advantages

    If you are looking for a gravel bike that is perfect for everyday use, the materials are crucial to your riding experience. Every material has advantages that help you make the best decision. Let’s take a closer look at the three most common materials: aluminium, carbon and steel.


    Aluminium: lightweight, robust and versatile Aluminium is the ideal material for everyday urban life. It offers:

    • Low weight: With an aluminium bike you are fast and agile, perfect for city traffic and fast rides.
    • Corrosion resistance: Aluminium resists rust and is therefore ideal for changeable weather conditions.
    • Easy handling: Most aluminium frames are designed in such a way that they can easily integrate pannier racks and mudguards, giving you additional flexibility for everyday use.
    • Cost efficiency: Aluminium bikes offer excellent value for money without compromising on quality.


    Carbon: high-performance and comfortable Carbon is the choice for cyclists who value performance and comfort:

    • Shock absorbency: Carbon absorbs vibrations from uneven roads, which ensures greater comfort, especially on long journeys.
    • High stiffness: This enables efficient power transfer so that you achieve more speed with every pedal stroke.
    • Lightweight: Carbon frames are extremely lightweight, which improves handling and manoeuvrability.
    • Modern equipment: Many carbon bikes are equipped with integrated lighting systems and pannier racks to make everyday life easier.


    Steel: robust and timeless elegance Steel has proven to be extremely durable and reliable:

    • Durability: Steel frames are known for their robustness and can last for many years, making them a sustainable choice.
    • Flexibility: The natural flexibility of steel ensures a comfortable ride, even on uneven surfaces.
    • Simple repair: In the event of damage, steel is easier to repair than other materials, which saves you money in the long term.
    • Classic design: Steel bikes often have a timeless, elegant design that never goes out of fashion.


    No matter which material you choose, they all offer unique advantages that will improve your everyday gravel bike experience. Think about which features are most important to you and find the perfect bike for your daily adventures!

    Weight limits and loading options

    With their balanced geometries, wide tyres and comfort features, everyday gravel bikes are ideal touring companions. However, as the length of the tours increases, so does the luggage. That’s why many luggage storage options are required for multi-day tours.
    You can equip the Blend with bikepacking bags and retrofit a pannier rack if required. With 14 mounting points and luggage rack, the Backroad EQ models can even be considered true randonneur bikes – fast touring bikes with drop bar that can take on everything from brevet and spontaneous bikepacking trips to bike tours with light luggage. Take a look at the most important key data in comparison:


    On the picure: ROSE Hobo


    What is the weight limit for the payload? While touring and hybrid bikes are designed for high payloads and are correspondingly heavy and stable, gravel bikes focus on sporting aspects and therefore on optimising the weight of the frame. That’s why the weight limit for our everyday gravel bikes is 110 kg.
    This value, also known as the system weight, refers to the weight of the rider, the luggage, any bicycle trailer plus additional load, as well as the weight of the bicycle itself. Or to put it more simply: Imagine riding onto a scale with your bike fully loaded. The value determined in this way must not exceed the system weight of the respective bike.
    Sample calculation: 10 kg (bike) + 75 kg (rider) + 5 kg (luggage) + 15 kg (child trailer) + 5 kg (child) = 110 kg
    The bike must therefore have a system weight of at least 110 kg.
