10,000 miles, 700,000ft (or 213,000m) of climbing, 15 gravel races and a whole bunch of bikes and gear tested - you know I enjoyed the ride in 2023!
Here I share 25 of the gravel products that I loved in 2023. These aren’t necessarily the absolute newest or most expensive or cutting edge, but instead the things that I reached for time and time again, and can happily recommend.
Three categories of things:
- contact points like shoes, saddles, clothing
- electronics like computers, lights, action cameras
- finally, the category where the rubber literally meets the dirt road - tires
