Reminder! AASQ: Ask Shimano anything about Gravel gearing, bikes, components & more!!

Shimano is taking the opportunity to answer all your gravel related bike, component, clothing, and gear questions later this week!

Easily one of the biggest cycling buzzwords of the past few years, ‘gravel’ covers a lot of ground. The term spans everything from race-ready bikes meant to cover 200 miles of rough gravel in the middle of Kansas, to bikes that are more capable than early XC mountain bikes. Because of that, there are a lot of new components specifically tailored to gravel riding, with a lot of different build options. How do you know what’s right for you?
