The Gravel XP2 is a flat-bar gravel and commuter bike with a 6061 aluminum frame, a butted 4130 chromoly fork and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors. The Shimano Claris 16-speed drivetrain is a step below the 18- and 20-speed groups on pricier gravel bikes, but hydraulic brakes at this level are rare. Rack and fender mounts front and rear make it a practical commuter, and 700x42c clearance covers gravel and light trail tires. Owners describe it as light and well equipped for the money, though the flat bar and Claris gearing put it behind drop-bar rivals for fast group rides.

Owners call the Gravel XP2 a lot of bike for the money, praising its light weight and component mix. Most complaints center on the flat bar and the basic Claris drivetrain rather than the frame or brakes.
