CGR vs ALLROAD: Choosing Between Versatility & Endurance Performance

CGR: Built For The Epic, Every Day
CGR (Commute–Gravel–Road) are our true do-it-all bikes. They moves effortlessly between weekday commutes, weekend road rides, and gravel detours. With endurance geometry and clearance for tyres up to 50mm, they delivers a smooth, stable ride across every surface, from tarmac to trail.
Built with everyday practicality in mind too. Rack and mudguard mounts, multiple drivetrain options, and frame technology so good it comes with a lifetime guarantee. The CGR also shares its DNA with our category-defining ranges, aero profiling inspired by the ULTRA-AERO and comfort geometry drawn from the ALLROAD itself. The result is a bike designed to perform everywhere, every day.

ALLROAD: Ride Without Limits
ALLROAD is our endurance road bike range - engineered to combine aerodynamic efficiency with all-day comfort. The geometry strikes the perfect balance: aggressive enough for speed, yet relaxed enough to keep you comfortable when the miles start stacking up. With space for tyres up to 38mm, it feels just as at home on fast tarmac as it does on the broken backroads.
Every detail is designed for performance and refinement. From sleek aero tube profiles and an integrated cockpit to internal storage, the ALLROAD delivers speed, stability, and efficiency in equal measure. Whether you’re chasing fast group rides, long solo days, or challenging sportives, the ALLROAD helps you ride further, faster, and without limits.
CGR vs. ALLROAD: Which One’s For You?
Choose the CGR if you want a bike that can do it all. Commutes, light gravel, road rides - it’s built for maximum versatility and everyday practicality.
Choose the ALLROAD if your focus is endurance road performance. If speed, efficiency, and long-distance comfort on tarmac matter most, this is the bike for you.
In Summary
Both the CGR and the ALLROAD are built for epic days out - the difference is where you choose to ride them most.
