At the end of August, I raced the masters gravel national championships; my first ever Nationals in any event despite having raced bikes for the better part of 20 years.
I firmly believe that tech can improve performance on all terrains. Given riders such as Dan Bigham and Dylan Johnson can push the envelope of equipment optimisation, it confuses me to see pro teams not take advantage.
On the road, optimisation primarily surrounds chasing aero savings, but with its slower speeds and rougher terrain, gravel is a little more complex.
For my race, I wanted to find a bike that blended aerodynamics, racy geometry, and a decent weight, while tackling the varying gradients of hills.
