Are you looking to sample the delights of gravel riding<\/a> but don\u2019t want to spend a lot of money? Or perhaps you need a versatile all-weather bike that can take mudguards and a pannier or two. <\/span>A budget gravel bike might be just the thing.<\/p>\n

Gravel bikes have largely replaced cyclocross bikes<\/a> as the go-to for year-round practicality. They open up a new realm of riding, with bigger tyres and disc brakes<\/a> giving them the capability to ride on unpaved surfaces, whether that\u2019s smooth singletrack, fire roads or just your local towpath.<\/p>\n

Gravel bikes are also designed with versatility in mind, with many sporting rack and mudguard mounts, making these steeds ideal for cycling to work<\/a>, bikepacking<\/a> or winter road riding.<\/p>\n

This is BikeRadar\u2019s pick of entry-level, budget-focussed gravel bikes, as rated and reviewed by our expert testers. We\u2019ve tested everything from cheap gravel bikes around \u00a3500, up to mid-range options around \u00a31,500.<\/p>\n
