REASON 1: EXPLORE THE SALZBURGERLAND SOFT OR HARD WITH YOUR GRAVEL BIKE
Think you know SalzburgerLand like the back of your hand? Then you should definitely keep reading. Because now, ‘Soft & Hard,’ two multi-day gravel tours await you. Letting you discover the gravel regions in a whole new way. The only question that remains is: SOFT or HARD?
REASON 2: GRAVEL BIKES ARE COMFORTABLE
Gravel bikes love the long haul. That’s why they’re also built for comfort. You sit relaxed and relatively upright – similar to on a marathon road bike. The wider tires provide better damping than other bikes, while the longer wheelbase ensures a stable and smooth ride.
REASON 3: PERFECT TRAINING IN SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN, AND WINTER
Gravel bikes are largely independent of the season and weather. This advantage is particularly apparent in winter, on snow and ice. Thanks to the wider tires and the longer wheelbase, you can still ride when road cyclists have long since sat in front of the stove waiting for the next spring, or they are already so informed and convinced that they have discovered the gravel bike as the ideal and complementary training device for themselves.
REASON 4: AS INDIVIDUAL AND FLEXIBLE AS YOU ARE
With gravel bikes, often only the frame is predetermined. The saddle height is quick and easy to adjust, the wide handlebars offer many grip positions, and with individually mounted mudguards, you stay relatively clean off-road. That is, if you want to at all.
REASON 5: PACK MULE
If you want to travel for several days with a gravel bike, you need a lot of luggage. The sturdy construction offers many options for attaching bags, keeping your back backpack-free. After all, we’ve already talked about comfort.
REASON 6: ENJOY EVERYTHING AROUND YOU
As a road cyclist, how often have you thought it. I would like to go down that forest path just to see if the view from there is really that beautiful. With a gravel bike, it’s not even worth a second thought. It’s the freedom that comes into play here again.
REASON 7: E-GRAVEL – OH, THERE’S THAT TOO
Yes, even here it exists – the electric tailwind that you can switch on as you wish. The riding fun and the possibilities of a graveler, and then a button for more power? What an incredible combination. There has never been an easier way out of civilization and into nature.
