GT’s glorious gravel machine can be bought for much less than the rangetopping Carbon Pro that we’ve crowned our Gravel Bike of the Year.

GT GRADE CARBON EXPERT £1999

The Expert level bike comes in a gorgeous metallic green and shares the exact same frame as the Pro, including the flip-chip fork. It does, however, drop the groupset down to Shimano 105 with an FSA Omega Adventure chainset.

GT GRADE CARBON ELITE £1499

It’s rare you’ll find a top-of-the-line frame on a brand’s base model, but that’s what GT has done with the Elite. It does get a different carbon fork without the multitude of bosses and the flip-chip. It comes with Shimano Tiagra and hydraulic discs.
