Can we all agree that gravel riding in the UK isn’t really gravel riding? Instead, it’s a lot of really fun single track, but to get the most out of that, I think you need to be riding one of these. This is the Niner O9 RDO with Shimano GRX. Niner’s mountain biking background has filtered through to this bike and means it’s well suited to technical terrain. It can take 2-in tires, and you can even add a suspension fork to this bike if you wanted. The fun doesn’t stop there, though, because it’s UDH compatible, dropper post ready, and can take three bottles, a top tube bag, and frame bag, all on the main triangle. So go and check it out because this has all the potential to be the perfect gravel bike for the UK.

Carbon frame for off-road…..no thanks👍🏻
Sick bike! I ride a CruX on a lot of singletrack here in Phoenix, AZ.
No we can't agree, this nonsense that only the US gravel is "proper gravel" needs to get in the bin
it also costs 4k
Plenty gravel here in Scotland
Gravel is nonsense. Just another marketing trick to sell you another expensive bike. Back in the day we rode everything on the same bike. Except track.
The geometry doesn't look like a good climbing bike. Everywhere here is hilly.
I don't know how they came up with this term as a cycling surface. It's a decorative stone for driveways! Dirt road, trail or all terrain would have been better. Here in the UK we call them bridleways… But not quite as catchy: 'bridleway bike'.
