Saracen introduces the Levarg – a gravel bike with backward spelling but forward-thinking design?

Saracen Levarg SL bike

We often hear that a gravel bike is just a nineties mountain bike, so it was about time for one of the most popular brands from back in the day (in the UK) to make one. The now direct-to-consumer brand Saracen has a long history of making affordable fun off-road bikes, and the latest Levarg range looks to continue that trend.

The gravel bike can take many forms, as you can see in our best gravel bikes and gravel bike geometry features, and the three-bike Levarg range is aimed squarely at pure off-road use with all models using aggressive mountain bike style geometry, wide tubeless-ready Maxxis Rambler 47c tires, and there's even a flat bar variant to really blur the lines between a gravel bike and 29er.
