Where do you plan to ride?
Choose a gravel bike if you plan to ride a mix of terrain—dirt, pavement and other loose surfaces.
Bike power
Electric gravel bikes lets you ride farther, faster. Check e-bikes rules where you plan to ride.
Handlebar shape
Drop (curled) handlebars are most common; some models offer flat bars.
Frame material
- Aluminum: Smooth ride, more affordable
- Carbon: More vibration-absorbing ride; lightweight but higher cost
Tires
- Tires are treaded or knobby for durability and traction
- Wider tires are better for rougher terrain; narrower tires are ideal for smoother surfaces
Get the right fit
- Start with the brand's size chart
- For the best fit, try the bike in person
Types of bike helmets
- Mountain bike: Rear-head coverage for off-road trails; often includes added ventilation
- Road bike: Lightweight, aerodynamic; designed for maximum airflow
- Recreational cycling: Budget-friendly choice for casual riding
Fit tips
- Measure the largest part of your head with a flexible measuring tape (or use string, then measure it)
- Check the brand's sizing chart
- Aim for a snug fit
- Between sizes? Choose the smaller size
Added protection
Look for technologies that reduce rotational forces during a crash, like Mips, WaveCel or KinetiCore.
Features

- Visor/brim: Keeps the sun out of your eyes
- Chin bars: Extra protection for downhill mountain biking
