FAQs
What frame size do I need for my gravel bike?
Depending on the model, the correct frame size depends on your height or inside leg length. Are you caught between two sizes? The rule of thumb usually applies: Longer legs = smaller frame, shorter legs = larger frame. Your riding style can also make a difference: Larger frames are smoother, smaller ones more manoeuvrable. To be on the safe side, it's best to take a test ride.
Which saddle is best for men?
A comfortable saddle is essential – but comfortable does not mean soft. Men often need narrower saddles with a longer nose. A central cutout can reduce pressure. Important: The saddle position has to be right, otherwise even the best model won't fit. If you experience pain after the first few tours, try fine adjustments before you buy a new model.
What clothing should I buy as a beginner?
A helmet is essential, as well as cycling glasses to protect you from the wind, branches and insects. Gloves protect the wrists and offer protection in the event of a fall. You should buy padded cycling pants if you are riding longer distances – whether with or without bibs is a matter of taste. A tight-fitting jersey keeps you dry and a light windbreaker protects you from the sudden cold. In cooler temperatures, leg warmers or arm warmers are a practical addition.
Which shoes are ideal for gravel riding?
That depends on the pedals. With classic platform pedals, sturdy trainers are sufficient, but special flat pedal shoes with a grippy sole are the better choice. If you want to be more efficient, switch to clipless pedals – usually MTB systems that are easy to ride. The right shoes are available in a wide range from sporty for races to comfortable for touring. Take a look at our pedal guide.
Which accessories should I buy first?
In addition to the basics such as a pump and multitool, tyre levers and a spare inner tube are important. A torque wrench is mandatory for all adjustment work, especially on carbon bikes. A chain will last longer if it is oiled regularly – so don't forget the chain oil. A water bottle and holder are useful for long tours, and a lock is practical in the city. Overtime you’ll find out what else you need.
What do I have to consider when riding?
Gravel riding is not a road race – control and technique count here. Brake with foresight, apply the force evenly to both brakes. On loose surfaces, get out of the saddle slightly and keep your arms loose to absorb shocks. Your upper body should remain relaxed – too much pressure on the handlebars can quickly lead to numb hands or tension. Strong core muscles make long tours more comfortable and prevent fatigue.
