Hi, I’m completely new to gravel bikes. I’d like to get a bike for weekend adventures and to also commute a couple of days a week (8km each way).
I live in western sweden where rain is more common than sun so being able to fit mud guards would be important.
I love multi day hikes so I’m guessing at some point I’d want to do a multi day trip on the bike, maybe 100km a day? Not sure if that’s important info..
From my research online there are two options at about 15,000 sek each. (1400 usd…. yeah stuffs expensive here!)
First is the [decathlon triban rc250](https://www.decathlon.se/p/337677-195101_gravelbike-triban-rc520-gravel-khaki-shimano-105.html#/demodelsize-200xs/demodelundefined-8733355)
The other option is the [canyon grizl al 5](https://www.canyon.com/en-se/gravel-bikes/adventure/grizl/al/grizl-5/3695.html?dwvar_3695_pv_rahmenfarbe=R075_P04)
Which would be the best value bike? Or would you recommend something else ?
Thanks!!!
