I have been looking at getting a gravel/ adventure road bike to do some light touring on. I have looked at various brands and keep coming back to the orange RX9. I would like to see what else is out there and what others are riding.

Can anyone recommend a good gravel / adventure bike for under £1000?

Thanks

Chris

Sonder Camino alloy - expected at the end of the summer and within your budget.

I fancy a cyclocross bike too. I looked into the Orange RX9 but the reviews weren't great. I've one eye on this (beware it's a Boardman!) for £675 I think it looks great.

Raleigh Mustang Elite 2017.

This is a sneaky peeky spy shot from my sources, but it's a cracking looking bike even in this farmyard gate size!

An aluminium Kona Rove and full touring and bike packing setups?

They seem to the biggest bargain out there.

GT Grade looks fun for lighter weight/faster stuff.

@flaps. Gravel/adventure bikes and CX bikes are not the same thing. The 2014 boardman puts you in a more aggressive position, and might be a bit tight on tyre clearance for larger volume gravel tyres.

Great bike, love mine, but best as a CX racer or winter/commuter bike on the road.

Giant Revolt if you don't mind how it looks

Discs and a great frame - wheels aren't great on the cheaper models tho but cartridge bearings on the 1
