As you now know, both our Asket and Road Rage models are available in different spec variants. If you're planning to use your bike for long gravel rides on the weekend or after work and aren't worried about getting your pants a little dirty, we recommend one of the "naked" models. This will save you some weight and give you a sportier riding experience when you want to go off the beaten track.
With a gravel bike like this one, nothing stands in the way of your workout ride after work.
"If required, you can of course also retrofit your sporty, naked gravel bike with mudguards and pannier rack. All necessary attachment points are provided on our bikes."
Gravel Bikes for bike-packing tours
Gravel bikes are also very popular for bike-packing adventures. Covering as much distance as possible in comfort and getting your luggage on and off the bike is crucial. Handlebar bags, saddle bags and frame bags are options. The advantage over pannier racks is that the center of gravity of your luggage is more central in the bike, making it less prone to tipping.
