While cyclocross has been around for decades, gravel biking is a relatively new category in the cycling community. Both bike styles are popular because they offer you more freedom and versatility on different types of terrain, allowing you to explore routes off the beaten path.
Due to their wider tires and endurance geometry, bikes made for gravel roads have become a unique category in the cycling industry. In contrast, Cyclocross bikes are designed with race position geometry and a horizontal top tube that helps a cyclist carry the bike over obstacles.
Whether you’re interested in cycling on short, off-circuit roads or you want to go for long rides on forest service roads, we offer cyclocross and gravel road bikes that fit and perform unlike anything else on the market. We are known for great fitting bikes, and that commitment shows in all of our bikes. Explore a selection of lightweight titanium, steel, and carbon fiber bikes for people who want to add some adventure to their cycling. Some of our bikes are made for gravel, road, and touring to provide a little more flexibility, while others focus on just one specialty.
If you want something that fits just right, make sure you check out our custom and prefabricated options that ensure your bike dimensions offer the most comfortable ride possible.
Gravel cyclocross bikes offer the best features of both mountain and road bikes. With bikes custom-built for gravel roads, you get a ride that’s light and efficient on compact surfaces and still provides stability for moderate off-road terrain. Gravel bikes are more than just road bikes with knobby tires. These bikes have a modified geometry that creates a less aggressive, more efficient riding position.
We sometimes have used bikes, and that’s definitely an option if you’re willing to put in the extra effort for maintenance, like replacing chains or tires. If you’re putting additional money and energy into maintaining a bike with no guarantees from the seller, you should weigh the costs against a brand new gravel bike from our collection – which does come with a satisfaction guarantee – before purchasing from an unknown seller.
We offer a number of financing options for your convenience, including customization for the amount you want to finance, as well as up to 60 months to pay back the total amount. Explore all our financing solutions here.
Our custom gravel bikes are like any bike when it comes to maintenance. They require regular inspections, replacements, and repairs for many components. Most people find that they spend about $300 per year on regular maintenance. If you shop for robust, durable replacement components, you’ll be able to save money in the long run, as these won’t wear out as easily as their cheaper counterparts. It’s also important to remember that heavier riders will need to perform more regular maintenance such as wheel truing, chain replacement, and tire replacement.
From mountain bikes and cyclocross to gravel road bikes and more, Big & Tall Bikes offers a comprehensive inventory of bicycles and components to meet your needs. Shop with a company that understands the struggles of a big and tall cyclist and anticipates your every requirement!
