There’s a lot of overlap between mountain bikes and gravel bikes. Sure, a mountain bike works for riding gravel roads, and plenty of people use them for that purpose. At the same time, gravel bikes are purpose-built for the job and tend to be lighter and faster. With that in mind, we want to know if you own a dedicated gravel bike.

Do you own a dedicated gravel bike?

If you don’t own a gravel bike and don’t want one, tell us why: Is it because you never ride gravel, or is it because riding gravel on your mountain bike works just fine? Sound off in the comments!
