I am already in contact with Böttcher and will be able to test the Evolution GRX in spring. The Evolution GRX comes as a 27.5 inch or 29 inch bike and can be customised even further. The Böttcher Evolution GRX is an interesting gravel bike from Schleswig-Holstein. So when Olga and Michel from continued their tour of the world on new Böttcher bikes, I took another look – and was surprised. And for the traditionalists among you: the 4.29 is also available with Magura rim brakes.īöttcher has been manufacturing bicycles in the far north of Germany for many years and I knew them mainly for their touring bikes. The price quickly climbs above 5,000 euros. In the configurator, only Pinion or Rohloff are offered. In terms of price, however, you are already in the upper segment. The Santos 4.29 is therefore also flexible when it comes to different requirements: it can be the light Bikepacker, the reliable travel bike, the comfortable travel partner with e-drive or the sportier racer. Whether with Rohloff, normal derailleur or Pinion – the 4.29 can do it all. But hopefully that will be solved soon…Īnd if you know of other bikes that are worth a look, please post them in the comments.ġ9 Bikes for Cycle Touring, Gravel & BikepackingĪn adventure bike that meets almost all needs and wishes: with the 4.29, the Dutch offer a bike that is very versatile and customisable. This year, however, the main issue is availability, which is why it’s actually unfair if I show you all the great bikes now – but you probably have problems buying them.
If there are new bikes, maybe they will inspire you and be added to the constantly well-filled N+1 list. Maybe you already know them all – then I invite you to dream. I have found some beautiful bikes that I like and that I would like to draw your attention to.
I make no distinction between gravel, bikepacking or touring bikes.
It’s almost a tradition that at the end of the year I take a look at what I consider to be beautiful, sometimes new and above all interesting bikes and share this subjective selection with you. But of course I mention brands and models. This selection of bikes is subjective and does not claim to be complete.
