Rondo’s Ruut AL2 Disc Gravel Bike can be used with mudguards as an all-weather commuter, paired with slicks for a winter training hack or loaded up with gear and taken off on a weekend adventure. This versatility partly comes from the fact that the frame is loaded with mounts and fittings for bottles, racks and mudguards and partly from the Twintip fork which can be altered to change the handling characteristics of the bike. Nimble for dodging though traffic and then slacker and more stable for off-road bike packing action perhaps. Large tyre clearance also gives a greater degree of versatility, with the option to fit rubber up to 2.1” if 650b wheels are used. SRAM’s Apex 1 drivetrain uses a single chainring paired with a wide-range cassette in order to give a good choice of ratios whilst still remaining reliable and simple to operate.
