Over the last decade or so, gravel bikes have taken the cycling scene by storm. Offering some of the versatility of a mountain bike with the lightweight, roadgoing capabilities of a road bike, gravel bikes served as a happy medium for cyclists looking for an in-betweener. However, these days, gravel bikes have taken on a life of their own, and for some cyclists—myself included—are much preferred over traditional road bikes.
In the world of electric bikes, meanwhile, it can be argued that gravel bikes are even more popular than road bikes, simply due to their added touch of versatility. Nevertheless, the gravel bike continues its evolution in the advent of electrification, and more and more exciting options have begun to pop up in the market. Now, it’s no surprise that most e-gravel bikes are performance-oriented machines meant to appeal to sporty cyclists. We previously talked about MV Agusta’s newest offering, and now, Bianchi, one of the pioneers in the world of cycling, has released its newest model to serve as the brand's flagship electric gravel bike.
