The Gravel Collection
Gravel riding is more a shift in perspective than it is a new discipline.
You stop being tied to the confines of the road and start to explore, noticing the quieter lanes and unmarked tracks and way beyond. It opens things up in a way thatβs hard to go back from.
Itβs that balance that draws you in β engaging, exploration and adventure in its purest form
You decide how extreme the terrain gets and where the trail ends.
Our gravel collection has been built for exactly that kind of riding. Each one is carefully hand-built here in England from lightweight and vibration-absorbing Reynolds steel, with considered geometry and finish. Each with a specific purpose or versatility, tailored to your style of riding. Composed on rough ground, efficient over distance, and the kind of bike you instinctively trust when the ride starts to be counted in days not miles.
The Range
Fast, light, and gravel-ready
Roadfinder X
The Roadfinder X is for riders who refuse to choose between road speed and gravel capability. This is the bike that covers tarmac miles efficiently, then transitions seamlessly to unpaved adventures without missing a beat. Lightweight Reynolds steel tubing and carbon forks deliver responsive handling on pavement while absorbing enough trail chatter to keep you comfortable when surfaces deteriorate.
More road-focused than dedicated gravel bikes, the Roadfinder X uses tighter geometry and faster-rolling setup that makes it genuinely quick on pavement. Clearance for 35-38mm tyres means you can run slicks for fast road rides or knobblies for gravel exploration β just swap wheelsets and transform the bike's character. Perfect for riders whose perfect route mixes paved lanes with bridleways and forest tracks.
Available with mechanical or electronic shifting, multiple gearing options, and full customization because we build each Roadfinder X by hand. Tell us how you ride and we'll configure it perfectly β whether that's ultra-light weekend warrior spec or rugged year-round reliability.
Explore beyond the map
Wildfinder
When the route drifts beyond smooth gravel into something more remote, the Wildfinder comes into its own. Itβs a natural bridge from road-leaning gravel bikes to proper off-road riding β still efficient on the flats, but far more composed when the terrain turns loose, rough, or technical.
A longer wheelbase, slacker angles and generous tyre clearance give it a calm, planted feel, smoothing out trail chatter and holding its line where lighter gravel bikes start to feel out of their depth.
Itβs built for that off-grid space β long days linking bridleways, doubletrack, and everything in between, with the mounts and gearing to support proper bikepacking as well as more demanding trail riding.
Each one is hand-built to order in Stratford-upon-Avon, shaped around how you ride β so it feels entirely at home the further you get from the road.
Compact, capable and addictively fun
Skyline Gravel
Donβt let the compact 20" wheels throw you β the Skyline Gravel is a genuinely capable off-road bike that just happens to take up less space at home. Itβs well suited to city living, where storage is tight but the urge to get out and explore is always there.
The smaller wheels bring a lively, responsive feel β quick to accelerate, easy to place through tighter, more technical sections β while the full-size geometry keeps the riding position natural and comfortable over longer distances. With clearance for proper gravel tyres and the mounts youβd expect, itβs built to handle real off-road riding, not just the idea of it.
It comes into its own when youβre leaving the city behind for the day β linking lanes, tracks and bridleways without overthinking the route. And because each one is hand-built to order, it can be tailored to fit both your riding style and the practicalities of where you keep it.
Pathfinder X
The Pathfinder X sits in that space a lot of riders quietly drift towards β when you want to leave the road behind now and then, but donβt feel the need to fully commit to drop-bar gravel riding. Itβs closer in spirit to the trail bikes many of us started on β simple, capable, and ready for whatever turns up.
With a flat bar cockpit and a lightweight steel frame, it has that familiar, direct feel β easy to handle, confident on looser ground, but still quick enough to cover distance without effort. Thereβs a clear nod to those rigid mountain bikes of the 90s, just refined: better balance, smoother ride quality, and geometry that feels right for longer days out.
Itβs the kind of bike you take out without overthinking it β lanes, towpaths, woodland trails, a bit of everything stitched together. Not chasing segments, not fully off-road, just enjoying the ride for what it is.
Each one is hand-built to order, so it can be set up to suit exactly that kind of riding β light, responsive, and quietly capable wherever you decide to point it.
Why Steel?
So why do we handcraft our gravel range from Reynolds steel?
It's because the properties of steel when drawn into thin wall butted tubes and crafted into a well-designed high-end lightweight steel frame offer an unmistakable natural lively feel with the rider connected to the bike and the riding surface rather than against it.
Once you leave smooth roads behind, the vibration absorbing properties come into their own, taking the edge off road vibrations and trail chatter, keeping you comfortable hour after hour.
Thatβs where a premium quality, lightweight steel has always stood apart.
The Reynolds steel we craft with is also reassuringly resilient. It's a material that copes with knocks, weather, and long use without fuss β and if something does go wrong, it can be repaired rather than replaced. For the sort of riding that drifts further from home, that matters.
And then thereβs the way itβs made. Each frame is built by hand, one at a time, with a level of care and attention thatβs impossible to replicate at scale. Itβs a slower process, but a more considered one β the result being a bike that feels balanced, dependable, and built to be ridden for years, not just seasons.
With Reynolds being based just 15 miles from our factory combined with its repairability, it makes our frames more sustainable whilst adding longevity to your dream bike.
