Ridley Grifn Slots in All-Road Bike With Gravel & Road Capabilities - First Rides
. The all-road bike’s 420mm chainstays are also in-between, but it gets a low gravel-like 73mm of bottom bracket drop for extra stability.
A lot of the versatility of the new bike comes from the happy-medium tire clearance: a maximum of 40mm for a 1x gravel setup or 38mm for 2x gravel with a front derailleur. Or for a more road-focused build go with the fattest slicks you can find, and there’s still 32mm road tire clearance with full coverage fenders.bikepacking bike launched earlier this year, this new all-road frame features the same recessed toptube bolt-on mount on the flat upper surface of the toptube for bag stability.
My next ride was almost entirely gravel, but more proper gravel roads , and the bike felt more at home. On smooth gravel roads, the Grifn rides like a fast and capable road bike, rewarding the rider who tucks down into the drops, hammers away in the pedals, and is happy to drift through soft turns. Climbing gravel its only real limitation is grip from whatever 35-40mm tires you fit to suit your local terrain and legs to get it up any steeper climbs.
