Gravel riding is booming, with more riders taking to drop-bar, knobbly-tyred bikes than ever – but what's next for the burgeoning gravel scene?
In this four-part series on the BikeRadar Podcast, hosted by Katherine Moore, we're discussing the future of gravel.
It wouldn’t be BikeRadar if we didn’t chat about shiny tech developments in the off-road world but, over the course of the series, we’re also going to explore how gravel riding and gravel racing are evolving, as well as the role of new off-road communities.
Episode two | The evolution of gravel bikes in 2023 and beyond
For episode two, Katherine is joined in the studio by two of BikeRadar's senior technical editors, Warren Rossiter and Tom Marvin, to discuss the future of gravel bikes.
With Tom sitting in the mountain bike camp, and Warren being our resident roadie, together they've seen gravel bikes evolve from both sides of the off-road divide.
As part of the episode, Katherine also sits down with YT’s product development manager, Frank Dörr, to discuss the brand's MTB-inspired approach to gravel bike design.
Episode one | Why is gravel booming?
In episode one, it's time to set the scene. Why is gravel booming and how did we get here?
Gravel aficionado Katherine is joined for episode one by BikeRadar's deputy editor, Jack Luke, and Ben Delaney, one of the pioneers of the US gravel scene, to discuss the genesis of gravel and take a look into the BikeRadar crystal ball.
