Racy • Relaxed • Rowdy
Not just another bike geometry comparison tool
Current number of bike models in the database: 387!
I want a gravel bike for my local gravel races, or riding long days on unmaintained roads and trail, or underbiking singletrack. How do I begin?
Use these pages first
- A table of the classification of all gravel bike models in the database into Racy, Relaxed, and Rowdy categories
- A plot that compares overall similarity of frame geometry among gravel bikes.
These pages have filters for material, suspension correction, UDH compatibility, sliding dropout, handlebar (flat or drop), axle spacing, and maximum tire width.
Use the filters to narrow down the 387 models to the short list of bikes that check all the boxes.
Okay, what’s the next step?
- A table to compare up to four bikes on key frame specs and frame geometry measures
- Plots of specific frame measures for all gravel bike models and frame sizes in the database.
Sweet! Now I want to know what makes racy bikes racy, relaxed bikes relaxed, and rowdy bikes rowdy.
What if I want to add suspension to the bikes on my shortlist?
First, make sure the manufacturer does not warn against a suspension fork. Then
See how your bike frame’s geometry changes with a suspension fork.
See how your bike frame’s relative similarity to other bikes changes with a suspension fork.
