You may not think of Poland when you think of bikes to be coveted, but the Rondo bikes will change your tune. Designed by people who live bikes, for people who loves bikes, the Rondo series of drop bar bikes will take you far and long on paved roads or across the unpaved unknown – as their website states, “The future is beyond tarmac.”

What started as a niche segment of cycling has, in the past few years, become a part of cycling vocabulary – gravel bikes. Known as all-road bikes, or adventure bikes, or myriad other names, these bikes, styled to resemble your fairly standard drop-bar road bike, are not at all your typical road machine.
