Gravel Bike recommendations

[Rhodrig27]

Hi,

I am in the market for a gravel bike, currently have a roadie and a TT but want to spend a bit more time off road and not a full on mountain bike as don't need to do any crazy down hill break your next type of stuff.

Ideally looking for something I can use most of the time be that on the road getting to some gravel or longer gravel routes.

I have narrowed it down at the moment and looking at the below 2 options but admitted know feck all about gravel so would take any recommendations from anyone who knows a bit more.

Wide tyre clearance is a must, few options for storage, not too arsed about been super aero or speedy.

Option 1 - Ridley Kanzo Adventure
Option 2 - Argon 18 Dark Matter

I have the latest generation Trek Checkpoint and would say it fits your requirements, in frame storage, clearance for 50mm + tyres ( I'm running 2.1" Mezcals currently) and a good balance between racier & endurance geometries
