Gravel and cyclocross bikes
When looking for a bike that can be fast and fun to ride over a variety of road and off-road terrains, gravel and cyclocross bikes offer the greatest options. Specialized gravel bikes come equipped with wide tires and features such as rack and mudguard mounting points so that you can easily take these bikes deep into the wilderness and on bikepacking adventures.
Best gravel bikes for all situations
Our experts at Wrench Science have been riding our bikes on gravel since before the term gravel bike was coined. Our depth of knowledge will help you decide on which is the best custom built gravel bike for you. We carry a full range from the best brands that are focusing on making lightweight, durable gravel bikes using premium materials.
Brands like 3T, Argon 18, Colnago, Enve, Ibis, Moots, Passoni, Pinarello and Wilier all design a wide range of gravel and cross bikes that offer a mixture of different attributes and features. Everything from aerodynamic, fast gravel bikes to more capable, singletrack-ready types of gravel bikes are available to be custom built through Wrench Science.
How to choose the perfect gravel or CX bike
Thanks to the wide variety we have to offer, you can take your pick from our selection of custom made gravel bikes to get exactly the type of bike you want for your riding style. For instance, if you live close to a mountain trailhead and enjoy getting deep into the backwoods on rough paths, something like a Knolly or Evil Bikes gravel option would be the way to go. These are bikes that reveal the brand’s mountain biking roots and use much of the same technology in design.
On the other end of the spectrum, brands like Colnago, Chapter 2 and Pinarello offer bikes that fall into the fast gravel category thanks to their road racing heritage and interest in mixing tarmac with gravel, and going equally fast on both. These brands will be focusing on keeping the frames light, typically using high quality carbon fiber and more aggressive frame geometries that mirror what their road bikes offer.
These types of gravel bikes can often function as cyclocross racing bikes as well, though several of the brands we carry also offer custom cyclocross bikes as well. And then there are brands like 3T that provide such a deep selection of gravel bikes that you can find exactly the type of specialized gravel bike for you, whether you are looking for fast and aero or durable and capable.
It's a great time to be a cyclist since there is such a huge variety of options, we suffer more from the agony of choice than the lack of it! Get in touch with us so that we can help you find the perfect gravel or cross bike for your riding needs.
