are also quite suitable for winter road riding duties because of the larger tyre clearances; in fact, some of the bikes recommended in this guide are intended for gravel use, but happen to be set up great for road riding in rubbish conditions.
In this deep red colour with tan wall tyres it's very fetching indeed, and you get 12-speed Sram Force electronic shifting for your £5,200.Another high-end option that you could deploy year-round, the Moda Molto is a gravel bike strictly-speaking, but with some mudguards slung on, would make an excellent winter road bike too according to our reviewer.
Our reviewer called the Grandurance 6 with Sram Apex 1x shifting "a great value all-rounder that is hard to fault"; but we reckon the spec that will be ideal for winter riding is the Grandurance 4, that can be found for under a grand and features Shimano Sora 9-speed shifting.
At 205 lumens the front light is bright enough to be used as a daytime running light and the beauty is that it is always on, so you never need to worry about charging batteries for the commute or if you get caught out in the dark.The Paralane is the German company’s endurance focused road bike, and it’s the only bike in this market we know that is sold with mudguards. They don’t quite offer the same amount of coverage as some full-length mudguards, but there’s nothing to stop you adding flaps .
The main benefit is that you’re not going to grind your favourite road bike into a grimy paste from riding it on winter roads. Riding on wet roads, splashing through puddles or dealing with mud and other debris is not much fun when you don’t have mudguards. The front wheel spray saturates your feet and ankles turning them into blocks of ice, and your bum and thighs get pasted from the rear wheel spray.
