I interested in buying a gravel bike. I already have a mountain bike but want something with less resistance when on the road/firm gravel. I will use it on some bumpy rutted stone filled routes.
Budget wise I am looking at between £1200-£1600. Looking for a GRX set up.
I’ve been looking specifically at the orbea terra h40 and h30 and also the Scott speedster gravel 20.
Looking for the ability to take wide tyres (45 plus wide) .
Any recommendations, etc would be appreciated.

Thanks

I love my Canyon Grail, and I believe the Al 7.0 is in budget for you (GRX810 bits i think) but i believe the widest tyre you can fit is a 42mm. But this might be a restriction on the 2x set up that I have, you may be able to go bigger with a 1x
