Cannondale gravel bikes are built for riders who want road speed with the freedom to explore beyond smooth tarmac. Designed to handle rough lanes, tracks and long mixed-surface routes, they balance efficiency, comfort and control for big days out.
Why choose a Cannondale gravel bike?
Cannondale’s gravel bikes combine stable geometry, generous tyre clearance and practical versatility to keep you moving confidently across changing surfaces. Compared to traditional road bikes, they offer more comfort and grip on rough ground while remaining efficient on the road. If most of your riding stays on tarmac, explore Cannondale Road Bikes.
