GRAVEL Touring Bikepacking

Touring by gravel bike and bikepacking is mainly differentiated by the type of terrain and the requirements of the trip. Gravel bikes are ideal for tackling mixed surfaces, both on and off-road, and are particularly suited to bikepacking, which involves traveling on different surfaces while carrying light loads.

Gravel bikes offer good handling and comfort, allowing you to travel long distances with balanced and distributed loads so you can maintain control of the bike.

Bikepacking requires a bike that can handle different types of terrain, with attachment points for bags and optimal weight distribution.

Gravel bikes, with their wide tires and frame geometry, are ideal for this type of travel.

Bikepacking bags, different from those used in tour-going, keep the weight closer to the bike, reducing the pendulum effect and improving agility.

Traditional tour-going, on the other hand, focuses on road trips, with panniers and a greater focus on comfort and speed. Bikepacking, on the other hand, is concerned with maintaining the essentiality of the load and the lightness of the bike, making the trip more agile and suitable for more varied routes.

In short, while gravel bike touring can include road trips with panniers, bikepacking requires a more versatile bike and suitable for managing light loads on different surfaces.
