Which Adventure Bike?

geomickb

Looking for a new bike, mostly for off-road commute. I am currently using my 29er.

It's mainly disused railway line and muddy.
I need to use a pannier and rack and full mudguards.

I was thinking:

1 Sonder Camino AL
2 Genesis Vagabond
3 Specialized AWOL
4 Giant Revolt.

Any advice?

I think this would probably be better and a better price for what you want.

1 Sonder Camino AL looks ok but only the apex hydraulic version
2 Genesis Vagabond looks crap!! (crap gears crap brakes crapppp)
3 Specialized AWOL is good-ish but twice the price of the others (hope you talk about the comp)
4 Giant Revolt. well it has its own mechanical to hydraulic converter I don't know
5 planet x well looks good, I own one of these frames, they are good price with the apex.
6 GT Grade X 2016 Adventure Road Bike they have it on sale on a very good price!!

generaly look for something with single front gear (I asume you live in the UK) , full hydraulic disk brakeset of sram apex or shimano br-st685 which is only found in expensive bikes.

+1 for the GT Grade X. Looks really nice for the price....though tyre clearance isnt huge (I'm currently running 38 or 40mm tyres for that type of riding and like the extra comfort, so am probably biased)
