Gravel bicycle, or "gravel grinding" as us seasoned riders like to call it, is a trend that combines the thrill of mountain biking with the speed of road cycling. Essentially, it's the Wild West of biking where anything goes, but with the added bonus of being on a bike specifically designed for rough terrains. And with the rise of ebike enthusiasts, it's no surprise that there's a surge of interest around electric-assisted gravel bikes. But don't fret if you're a purist -- there's still plenty of love for classic gravel brands like Sonder and Komoot. Speaking of brands, Aventon Bikes is also gaining traction in the gravel game with their high-end offerings. And while we're on the topic of gravel bikes, bikepacking (basically camping while biking through the wilderness) is a popular way to put your gravel machine to good use. So, with all these trends pointing to the gravel bicycle category, it's safe to say that this is a trend worth riding on.
