Whilst gravel may not be a new discipline of riding, it has evolved and become more popular over recent years. With more bikes geared towards exploring rougher terrain and roads less travelled, gravel riding has become more of a leisure sport than just Winter rides and commutes to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipment has also evolved over the last few years with gear becoming more gravel specific, taking the sting out of rough roads, reducing road buzz and making it a smoother ride that you can enjoy time and time again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest development has been with the launch of the Specialized Creo 2, an electric road bike that is also designed to handle gravel with exceptional capability, greater tyre clearance, more precision and comfort. Previously, you had the option of choosing the Creo SL to take to the road and the Creo SL Evo to handle gravel paths. Thanks to this latest design, you no longer have to choose between the road and gravel, and can enjoy the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
