We also have the world s largest database of fitters.

Gravel bike frame geometry.

Touring bikes 55 70mm trail road bikes 50 60mm trail cx 55 65mm trail. However in general the bikes are being designed so that the most common sizes 55 58cm have the ideal geometry while the extremes x small and x large wind up with less than ideal geometry. Tt and tri bikes. There are 39584 geometries in the database.

A touring bike s geometry is optimised so that it s stable carrying front and rear loads. On the bike spectrum gravel bikes are closer to racier cyclocross bikes whereas adventure bikes are closer to touring bikes. That s 8849 bikes from 822 brands and growing daily. For example the smallest size offered in a given model will use a very raked out head angle slack perhaps 69 degrees but the same fork rake as a bike with a 73 degree head angle in a common size.

And really a look at the latest geometry tyre widths and technology to hit the. So often we joke that gravel bikes are just old mountain bikes from a time that s now in the rearview mirror. Put really simply on a spectrum of road bike to mtb cyclocross bike geometry tends to be more towards to road bike end than gravel bikes. This is evident through the slacker head angles and higher trail than both road and cyclocross bikes.
