Ryden Adventure All-Terrain Gravel Bike

They share the same gravel DNA: a full carbon fork, a Shimano GRX 1x12 gravel groupset, 50mm tyre clearance, a carbon seatpost, and comprehensive bikepacking mounts. The Gravel Pro is a step up: a carbon frame (vs the Adventure’s premium aluminium), carbon wheels (vs alloy), the higher GRX 820 groupset (vs GRX 610), and a lighter weight (8.9 kg vs 9.8 kg). Choose the Gravel Pro for a lighter, higher-performance carbon bike; choose the Adventure for genuine gravel and bikepacking capability at a more accessible price ($1,799 vs $2,199).

Both are alloy gravel bikes. The Pathfinder is more affordable ($1,499 vs $1,799) and uses a 2x drivetrain (two chainrings, closer gear spacing, well suited to road riding and loaded touring) with an 11-speed GRX 600 groupset and an alloy seatpost. The Adventure steps up to newer 12-speed components (GRX 610) and a carbon seatpost, but uses a simpler 1x drivetrain. Choose the Pathfinder for the lowest price and a 2x touring setup; choose the Adventure for newer 12-speed components, a carbon post, and 1x simplicity. Both share the same alloy frame family, carbon fork, GRX brakes, and bikepacking mounts.

They share the same drivetrain (Shimano GRX 610 1x12), but they are built for different priorities. The Adventure is the lighter, all-round alloy gravel bike (9.8 kg) for mixed riding. The Expedition is purpose-built for heavy loads: a burlier triple-butted frame, wider 50C tyres (vs 45C), far more cargo mounts (five bottle cages plus front and rear rack mounts), a longer, more stable wheelbase, and a higher 140 kg (including cargo) capacity. Choose the Adventure if you want a lighter all-round bike; choose the Expedition if you specifically plan heavy, self-supported, multi-day touring. If you do not carry heavy loads, the Adventure is likely the better fit.

Absolutely. It rides efficiently on paved roads while staying capable on gravel, dirt roads, and forest tracks. It is a genuine do-both bike: quick on the road, confident off it.

Yes. The frame and fork include multiple mounting points for racks, frame bags, cargo cages, mudguards, and extra bottle cages, making it well suited to multi-day adventures. For heavily loaded trips, consider total system weight (rider plus cargo) alongside the 130 kg rider limit.

Yes. The frame supports tyres up to 700x50C, so you can optimise the bike for rougher gravel routes or extra comfort. It ships with 700x45C gravel tyres.

Yes. The wheels and tyres are tubeless-ready, reducing puncture risk while improving grip and ride quality, especially valuable on loose gravel surfaces.

It is designed for gravel roads, fire roads, forest trails, and hard-packed dirt; it is not intended for technical mountain biking or downhill trails. For technical off-road riding, our mountain bikes are the right tool; for gravel roads and mixed-surface adventure, the Adventure is built for exactly that.

A mountain bike is built for technical off-road trails, with flat bars and often suspension. The Adventure is a drop-bar gravel bike for covering distance efficiently across gravel roads, forest tracks, and hard-packed dirt at closer to road-bike speed, not for technical singletrack, jumps, or downhill. Different tools for different terrain.

The bike arrives approximately 90% assembled. Final installation of the front wheel, handlebars, pedals, and seatpost is required, typically 30 to 60 minutes for someone comfortable with basic bike mechanics. Tools and instructions are included.

Lifetime warranty on the aluminium frame, 5-year warranty on the carbon fork, 2-year warranty on components (drivetrain, brakes), and a 2-year warranty on the wheelset. Full terms in our Warranty Policy.

It is built for riders who want one bike for commuting, fitness riding, weekend gravel exploration, and bikepacking. Its aluminium frame, carbon fork, Shimano GRX 1x12 drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, tubeless-ready wheels, and extensive cargo mounts give exceptional versatility and value: an ideal all-round gravel bike for riders who value exploration and dependable performance at an accessible price.
