Gravel Bikes
From smooth tarmac to sketchy singletrack, bridleways to bothy escapes, Sonder gravel and adventure bikes are made for the routes you can’t always name. The ones that start on road and finish on a track you found by accident. Whether you’re racing the Dirty Reiver, bikepacking across continents, or just escaping the traffic for a few hours, there’s a Sonder that fits your ride.
Gravel Bikes
Every model is designed, tested and assembled here in the UK. Built around big tyre clearance, stable geometry, and all the mounts you could want, they’re as ready for local loops as they are for epic adventures.
Why Sonder?
- Designed in the UK – Geometry dialled for British terrain and year-round riding
- Built to last – Aluminium, steel or titanium frames with full serviceability
- Assembled to order – Choose your drivetrain, wheels, contact points and finishing kit
- Adventure-ready – All the mounts, all the clearance, all the options
They’re for when the tarmac runs out and the bridleways begin. Wider tyre clearance to take you on the path less travelled. Capable and stable for Sunday singletrack but speedy enough to take you on off-road and on-road adventures. And everything in between. Ready to be loaded up with panniers or bikepacking bags for a multi-day adventure.
Camino
A roads, B roads, even C, D and E roads: the Camino goes where it wants. It opens up byways and bridleways to explore the path less traveled. It's a gravel bike for impulsive exploration. A bike for riding when the tarmac runs out.
Broken Road
Fully custom-built titanium hardtail for riding to the ends of the earth, off the map and back. Built for Silk Road. Or, you know, just Scotland.
Dial
Dial had the 200km Dirty Reiver in mind. A race winning bike. Move one step away from Camino towards a mountain bike and you get the Dial. True its a mountain bike. True its a race winning podium XC hardtail. And if flat bar aggro-gravel is a thing then this is it.
Colibri
One step from Camino towards the road and you get Colibri. An endurance road bike with clearance for tyres up to 36mm tyres. It is designed for UK's roughest roads: Wyrnose and Hardknott. And for where roads are full of debris like grit, leaves and gravel. Designed for long days in the saddle. Crossing continents mainly on road but with a few miles of compact dirt or canal path.
Santiago
An around-the-world comfortable cruiser. When you want to take on the worlds roughest routes with a load bearing workhorse of a bike then Santiago is your companion.
Mountain journal
Grab a brew, kick back and relax with in-depth features, tales of derring-do and Go Nice Place Do Good Things.
