The OBVIOUS gravel titanium ON\/OFF is fitted as standard with the Gravel 100 model from Deda Elementi, the famous Italian brand of bicycle components. Its shape has been designed with gravel in mind, but depending on how you approach gravel, there may be a better choice.<\/p>\n

Que doit-on rechercher quand on choisit un cintre gravel\u00a0?<\/h3><\/p>\n
The handlebar of a road bike is often geared towards speed, for tucking in your elbows and riding in a peloton. On a gravel bike, aerodynamics are less important (tyre studs, looser clothing, etc.) and you're no longer squeezed into a group. In addition to speed and aerodynamics, you'll need to consider comfort and handling on rougher terrain, as well as visibility so you can see obstacles and enjoy the countryside.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Between all these considerations, you need to ask yourself questions about your riding and know what kind of balance you need.<\/p>\n
- \n
- You want to ride as fast as possible<\/strong>, go for short rides or races? Focus on aerodynamics<\/strong>. Handlebars with narrow width<\/strong>, small opening<\/strong>, low position<\/strong>, projected forward<\/strong> . Our titanium gravel bike ON\/OFF, in its standard version, is designed for short, day-long rides. We chose the Gravel 100 because it's not very opened and its depth is close to that of a road bike.<\/li>\n
- Is your favourite playground made up of rough trails<\/strong>? Choose control<\/strong> and stability<\/strong> with a fairly wide<\/strong>, shallow<\/strong> and very opened<\/strong>handlebar, high enough<\/strong>positioned. Our choice goes to Deda Gera Aluminium model. Its shallow depth gives you a position that doesn't project too far forward, and its wide opening ensures excellent control of the bike. As an added bonus, its slightly forward grip at the top of the handlebars will give you a more aerodynamic, with tucked in elbows, position on rolling sections.<\/li>\n
- You are a bikepacker<\/strong>? The handlebar should have several confortable hand positions<\/strong>, and be wide enough to accommodate a front bag. We recommend a position that's not too high, moderately deep<\/strong>, and an handlebar not too opened<\/strong>. The SuperZero Gravel handlebars seem to us to be very appropriate but it's up to you to choose, because nobody else travels like you!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
