Yes! The Grail’s all-terrain ability and speed make it a good choice for commuting, especially over longer distances or if you like to mix up the terrain on your commute to avoid busy roads.
Of course, if you have to leave your Grail locked outside when you’re in the office, we suggest getting a robust, sturdy lock for maximum security.

For complete peace of mind – if you order your bike and it doesn’t feel right, you can return it fuss-free for any reason within 30 days of receipt.

Adventure bikes hit the sweet spot of speed and off-road capability on all surfaces from light gravel to semi-technical singletrack.
They aren’t as fast on the asphalt as a pure road bike and not as capable on technical terrain as a mountain bike. But in that space in-between nothing matches the speed and comfort of an adventure bike.

The Grail is a gravel bike and the Endurace is a comfort-oriented road bike. There are multiple differences between the two:
Geometry: The Grail is a longer bike with a longer wheelbase to generate more stability when riding off-road. The Endurace has a slightly shorter wheelbase for more agile handling on the road.
Tyre clearance: The Endurace comes with slick road tyres. It has 30 mm tyre clearance enough for light gravel tyres. The Grail comes with 40 mm gravel tyres that provide plenty grip and traction off-road.
Gearing: The Endurace comes with gearing optimised for road cycling. This means the gaps between ratios are smaller and that you have bigger gears at the top end for faster top speed. However the lightest gears aren't as light as on the Grail. The Grail’s gravel-optimised gearing gives you easier lighter gearing ratios for the kind if steep climbs you more often find off-road. The limitation is that your biggest gears are not as big as on a road bike limiting your absolute top speed.

Light gravel roads are typically wider less steep and more firm underfoot. As they are smoother you don’t need suspension or mountain bike-style wide tyres to stay fast and stable.
Singletrack is more narrow typically more winding and rougher and more technical with more rocks and roots. Suspension typically helps to absorb shocks keep you rolling smoother and faster in these sections.

What’s the difference between the Grizl and the Grail? The short answer: Both are gravel bikes. The Grail is optimised for smoother off-road surfaces and the Grizl better suited to rougher terrain. The Grail is more efficient on-road but slightly less capable than the Grizl off it while the Grizl is more comfortable on the rough stuff but not as fast on the smooth.
The long answer: Read the blog post for a detailled breakdown of the differences between the two bikes.

Bikepacking is self-supported exploration by bike. Bikepacking trips vary in length from one-night microadventures to months-long cross-continental epics.
Some bikepackers only camp outdoors and take their tent and sleeping bag with them whereas others stay in accommodation.

All-road bikes are drop-bar bikes that are fast and capable on any kind of road surface from smooth asphalt all the way to light gravel tracks.
They are more capable and comfortable on rougher surfaces than a typical road racing bike. This is thanks to their wider tyres and more relaxed upright riding positions.

It depends on what kind of riding you’ll be doing.
Mostly light gravel on hard-packed roads: choose the Grail it will have more than enough grip and stability and it’s the fastest option.
Light gravel to rough gravel and some mud thrown in: get the Grizl. Wider tyres will give you more grip over somewhat sketchier surfaces.
Riding including semi-technical singletrack: get the Exceed. A wide flat bar and suspension fork make a huge difference in terms of stability and comfort on technical surfaces.

Gravel racing is endurance riding on unpaved surfaces.
In terms course profile and character gravel events vary hugely. Some races are performance-minded and competitive while other events are only partially timed or not even timed at all with more focus on camaraderie and the experience of riding. Gravel courses can consist of any kind of surface from backroads and light hard-packed gravel all the way to technical singletrack sections.
