Hi Folks! Starting a new 2026 version of this thread: Best Racing Gravel Bike 2025 A few observations over the last few days… The new Otso came out and it looks great! Good price, more aero, fairly customizable, 50T chain ring, storage, etc. Only slight negative is they only claim 50mm clearan…

There is an unreleased Argon 18 aero gravel bike, starting at the 8:30 mark in this video: https://youtu.be/jyWR0WDfUAw?si=i5sLA1Zs5eTTpcYY&t=506 Looks good to me,

It’s a good question. Who knows? lol Let’s see what happens with the 32” wheels on MTB this year. Agree Lauf tempting. Tho that frame is also dude for an update anyway too.

I’m curious to know if any of you has tried the newish Winspace G3? Looks like a pretty decent frame for the money.

Yep, you’re right. Does appear to be road.
