Gravel Bike Pricing

They seem very expensive compared to racing bikes are they just a racer with fatter tyres and a marketing gimmick?

Re: Which Bike is best

Evans do free test rides with no obligation to purchase, you can take each bike out for 20 mins a time, try them out and find out which bike you feel most comfortable on then choose that bike. They also have a scheme where if you do not get on with the bike after a few weeks you can swap it for another model no questions asked, look at the terms and condition though before you commit yourself to a purchase.
