Gravel cycling, also known as gravel-road cycling, is a form of off-road cycling that falls somewhere between traditional road cycling and mountain biking. Gravel bikes are designed to tackle a wide variety of terrain, from paved roads to dirt tracks and rocky trails. They have wider tyres and specific frame geometries that provide stability, comfort and versatility on different surfaces.

Gravel cycling requires suitable equipment, particularly gravel tyres. Gravel wheels are also more robust than standard bike wheels, allowing them to withstand the bumps and vibrations encountered along the way.
