SONDER CAMINO
For B-Roads and Bridleways
Camino is designed for flow — whether that’s flying down forest trails, cruising rough B-roads, or grinding gravel climbs in the drizzle. The progressive geometry puts you in a stable, centred position that feels right on the hoods and in the drops. It’s agile when it needs to be and planted when things get loose.
Whether you’re taking the long way home or planning a month-long tour, Camino gives you the confidence to explore further, with the comfort and control to enjoy every mile.
- Multi-award winner — Cycling Weekly's Gravel Bike of the Year, Adventure Bike of the Year, and Overall Bike of the Year
- Stable, all-day geometry — long wheelbase and relaxed 69° head angle for comfort and confidence
- Massive tyre clearance — up to 700c x 50mm or 650b x 2.2” for grip on rougher terrain
- Adventure-ready — cage, rack, mudguard and bottle mounts for commuting or full expedition setups
Ridden. Loved. Proven.
With more than 10,000 Camino owners around the country, it is no surprise it is Cycling Weekly's Adventure Gravel Bike of the Year and Overall Bike Of The Year. That’s huge. Proof that a small rider-led brand can beat the biggest names in the game, by building a bike that just works — beautifully..
“It’s calm and capable when the trail gets rough. It doesn’t rush — it just gets on with it.”
— Neil Sutton, Sonder Product Designer“Loose and varied, hike-a-bike moments (that feel like hours!), steady ups and rolling downs, heart in throat, a little skid, a save, oh the buzz! Finish with pizza, a drink with friends, a laugh about the day.”
— Jenny Graham, Adventurer
Designed for Years of Dirt and Joy
Every Camino is built by hand in the UK and designed to last. Choose from lightweight 6061 aluminium or aerospace-grade titanium. Fully serviceable, futureproofed with modern standards and generous clearances. And backed by a team who ride what they build.
Because bikes are meant to be ridden. Not replaced.
Confidence in Every Corner
The progressive geometry gives riders a super-comfortable riding position, right in the middle of the bike for the perfect centre of gravity. Short chainstays make it agile through the corners whilst the slackened head angle means that you can take turns with confidence on and off-road.
Effortlessly adaptable, the Camino is as proficient on your local trail as it is on the open road, with tyre clearance up to 700c x 50mm or 650b x 2.2” for that added traction and comfort on bumpier terrain.
Rack mounts, triple bottle cage mounts on the down tube and full mudguard mounts give you the option to load up and pedal off on a self-supported ride whenever the feeling takes you.
Whether you’re rediscovering your backyard, getting lost on Welsh fire track, or touring Europe the dusty way; enter into a partnership with the Camino, you never know where it might take you.
Built Like It’s Ours. Because It Is.
Every Camino is handbuilt on the edge of the Peak District. That way we can offer unparalled service, custom options and quality standard. They are then boxed ready to ride and sent to you meaning you have the smallest amount of assembly before getting out on the trails.
The Features
Gravel geometry
Tuned for long days with trail capabilty at its heart. The long wheelbase and 69° head angle make for a stable and confident ride, even over rough trails. Every size has been tuned for a 50mm-70mm stem so every rider gets direct and responsive steering.
Wide open tyre clearance
The Camino swallows huge tyres. Ride 700c x 50mm or 650b x 2.2” - that’s most mountain bike tyres covered.
Carbon monocoque fork
Lightweight, stiff and responsive. The Camino's full carbon fork gives direct steering and smooth braking. It's completely adventure ready with mudguard and rack mounts.
Full rack, guard and expedition mounts
Take anything anywhere. The Camino has mounts for everything you need - panniers, guards and extra mounts for adding cages to the forks. The downtube has triple cage mounts so you can set your bottle to be at a height for easy reach or lower to accommodate larger frame bags. Plus, there's mounts on the top tube for bolt-on bike luggage.
Internal Cable Routing
Clean lines and tidy cables thanks to fully guided internal routing. Cable port inserts keep things neat and can be capped off if you're running a wireless groupset. The Camino also has routing for a dropper seatpost.
Your Camino Questions Answered
Gravel bikes are designed for mixed terrain — combining road efficiency with stability and comfort on rough surfaces. Most riders use them for a blend of road riding, gravel tracks and longer adventure rides.
Camino is ideal for:
- Road and gravel riding
- Long-distance comfort
- Bikepacking and adventure
