With over 280 exhibitors to choose from at The Cycle Show it can be hard to see everything, but if you're into gravel biking make sure you don't miss these five beauties
So what separates a gravel bike from a road bike? Geometrically speaking, a longer wheelbase, shorter toptube, slacker headtube angle and they all have a much wider space for chunkier tyres.
These five bikes will all be exhibited at this year’s Cycle Show at the NEC in September, for more information head to www.cycleshow.co.uk.
GT Grade Ultegra £2209.99
The MTB focused manufacturer introduced the Grade this year, a ‘non-conforming’ adventure bike with a rear triangle under the saddle to provide more comfort for off-road sections.

Canyon Inflite AL 9.0 S £1,449
