"Batch aims to repeat the process, now in the gravel corner of the industry. Now, surely, these new gravel offerings won't completely knock your socks off, but that isn't Batch's intention. However, will they get new riders out on two wheels without the incredible cost barrier? Absolutely."
"The GB.1 features a 6061 double-butted aluminum frame, a clutched 9-speed derailleur, and tubeless-ready rims and tires. The frame comes in four sizes-50cm, 53cm, 56cm, and 59cm-and features integrated rack and fender mounting points."
"The Batch GB.2 starts where the GB.1 leaves off. They share the same 6061 hydroformed double-butted aluminum frame, but save some weight with a bit higher component spec. Helping shed some weight and absorb light trail chatter, the GB.2 is equipped with a carbon fork."
Batch introduces two gravel bikes designed to combine quality and affordability. The GB.1, priced at $999.99, features a 6061 double-butted aluminum frame, clutched 9-speed derailleur, and tubeless-ready rims and tires in four sizes with integrated rack and fender mounting points. The GB.2, at $1,299.99, shares the same frame but upgrades to a carbon fork for weight reduction and improved vibration absorption. Both models use Tektro mechanical disc brakes, MicroShift components, and 700x42mm tires. These offerings aim to make gravel cycling accessible to new riders without prohibitive costs while maintaining modern specifications and geometry.
