Stuck choosing a gravel bike around £1k
I'm getting back into cycling as a hobby, currently on a triban 120 with cyclocross tyres and want to jump to a gravel bike so i can use more of the tracks near me and have better grip on the coastal paths.
Im stuck between the following, willing to hear other suggestions and any sites to steer clear of;
NAME PRICE TYRE CLEAR GEARS
Boardman adv 8.9 £960 .50mm .GRX rx400.
Canyon End All Road £999 40mm Cues 6020/30. (OOS in my size)
Canyon Grizl 5 £1249 .54mm. Cues Mix.
NS bikes RAG+ 2 £1099 .45mm + 27.5 .Sram Apex.
Niner RLT 9 . 3 £1149 . 50mm + 650b. Sram Rival.
Cube nuroad pro £1199. 45mm. Cues
Ridley kanzo adv £1279 .54mm + 29".GRX rx400
Would be a fair mix of on and off road, intentions for bikepacking trips. I'm a heavier rider but losing weight with cycling and other exercises.
Is CUES good? It says online its more open with upgrade/repair options, but i know grx apex and Rival are all more gravel specific.
