Gravel bikes 2025: These are the top 3

1st place: MyVelo Mortirolo



With the Mortirolo, the young manufacturer presents a gravel bike in racing trim that is close to a road bike in terms of seating position and equipment. Complete with Shimano Di2 groups and aero wheels, the bike from the Black Forest is perfect for fast tours, and thanks to the large tire clearance, you don't have to shy away from difficult terrain. The Mortirolo gains additional versatility through the numerous mounting options - anyone planning sporty bikepacking tours can rely on this bike just as much as purebred racers.

Price: € 6.299

2nd place: Rose Backroad FF Classified 2x12



Absolutely high-end components characterize the new gravel race bike from Rose. The manufacturer has installed the electronic Shimano GRX Di2 with twelve gears on the aerodynamically optimized carbon frame with a one-piece cockpit and sporty seating position, combined with the innovative Classified hub gear, which offers two gear ratios and can also be shifted under load. The gear is packaged in a light carbon wheel set; there is also a flat Rotor crank with integrated power measurement.

Price: 5999 Euro

3rd place: Scott Addict Gravel RC

Gravel bikes 2025



Be careful, it's addictive: the top version of the Addict Gravel has everything that fast gravel bikers could wish for. SRAM is contributing its new Red AXS with 13 gears and optimized lever geometry; Fulcrum is providing the lightweight carbon wheelset with the aerodynamic wave shape inside. The bike also has a carbon cockpit, and details like the seat post are perfect for high speeds on endless gravel roads, over which you can glide comfortably and without punctures thanks to the 45 Schwalbe tires.

Price: 8999 Euro
