Definição e Significado de "gravel bicycle"

What is a "gravel bicycle"?

A gravel bicycle is a type of bike designed for riding on gravel roads and other mixed surfaces, such as dirt paths or light trails. It combines features from road bikes and mountain bikes, with a lightweight frame, wider tires for better grip and comfort on uneven ground, and a more relaxed riding position. Gravel bikes often have extra space for wider tires, strong brakes for handling different terrains, and a gear system that makes it easier to climb hills or ride on rough surfaces. They are ideal for long-distance rides and exploring both paved and unpaved roads.
