The Rose Backroad (Test) is reduced in two versions and still available in small and large sizes. The medium is already sold out. Rose's gravel bike is one of the best-selling. If you fit a frame size 47, 57, 59 or 60, there is only one decision left to make: Shimano or SRAM? You can currently save 600 euros on both variants. The slightly cheaper Shimano version can score points with a wider gear ratio, as the cassette has 10 teeth on the small sprocket and 45 on the large sprocket. SRAM has 11-44 and the chainrings are the same size. If you live in mountainous areas, you might consider fitting a smaller chainring to make it easier to get uphill, especially if you have luggage on your bike. The 44 millimetre wide WTB Raddler gravel tyres offer you good grip on various surfaces thanks to the tread pattern. If you want even more comfort, you can go a little wider with the tyre width.
Tip: Take a look at the new Gravel collection from Rose, which includes casual T-shirts and cargo cycling trousers.

3990 instead of 6300 euros. Did your jaw drop too? Ok, we have to cut back, because this Gravel bike bargains is only available in sizes M and L. I'm out of there. With the SRAM GX Eagle rear derailleur and 10-50 cassette combined with a 40 chainring, the bike is also capable of tackling steep climbs. The 42-millimetre Pathfinder tyres also roll well on asphalt. If you want a more comfortable ride, you can also fit wider tyres once the first set is worn out.
