Gravel SPORTFIT Bikes
Flat bar control for off-road adventures
Built for off-road adventure, Gravel SPORTFIT bikes give you the control of a flat bar with the toughness of a dedicated gravel machine. With stable geometry, wide tyre clearance and an upright riding position, they’re designed to keep you comfortable and confident when the tarmac ends and the trails begin.
Why Choose a Gravel SPORTFIT Bike?
Flat bar gravel bikes are the choice for riders who want strength, stability and simplicity off-road. The SPORTFIT Gravel range delivers:
- Flat bar confidence: more control on rough tracks and descents
- Adventure-ready: clearance for wide tyres and space for racks and bags
- Off-road performance: equally at home on bridleways, gravel roads and dirt trails
- Relaxed position: upright geometry that keeps you comfortable on long rides and bikepacking trips
Suspension Fork Upgrade
Adding suspension forks to your SportFit bike can further enhance comfort and control when riding.
They help reduce fatigue in the arms and shoulders - absorbing bumps and vibrations whether you're on a gravel path or a potholed road.
