Gravel Bikes
From smooth tarmac to sketchy singletrack, bridleways to bothy escapes, Sonder gravel and adventure bikes are made for the routes you can’t always name. The ones that start on road and finish on a track you found by accident. Whether you’re racing the Dirty Reiver, bikepacking across continents, or just escaping the traffic for a few hours, there’s a Sonder that fits your ride.
Gravel Bikes
Every bike is assembled to order. Choose your drivetrain, wheels, contact points and finishing kit. Undecided on SRAM or Shimano? We've ridden both extensively. Choosing between 650b and 700c wheels is worth thinking about too, it changes how the bike handles loaded vs unloaded, on road vs off.

Where these bikes have been
Ridden across the Brecon Beacons, through the North Pennines, and around the world by Emma Pooley. Sometimes the tarmac runs out and the bridleways begin and knowing how to hike a bike never hurts.
Camino
A roads, B roads, even C, D and E roads: the Camino goes where it wants. It opens up byways and bridleways to explore the path less traveled. It's a gravel bike for impulsive exploration. A bike for riding when the tarmac runs out.
Broken Road
Fully custom-built titanium hardtail for riding to the ends of the earth, off the map and back. Built for Silk Road. Or, you know, just Scotland.
Dial
Dial had the 200km Dirty Reiver in mind. A race winning bike. Move one step away from Camino towards a mountain bike and you get the Dial. True its a mountain bike. True its a race winning podium XC hardtail. And if flat bar aggro-gravel is a thing then this is it.
