After 20,000km on the Rose Backroad FF, here is my honest verdict on whether this is truly the only gravel bike you will ever need.
The Rose Backroad FF is one of the most versatile gravel bikes on the market. Fast enough for road cycling, capable on gravel, and comfortable enough for ultra-endurance riding and bikepacking. But does it actually hold up after serious mileage? In this review I cover ride feel, geometry, components, long-term durability, and real-world performance after 20,000km, including training for a 700km gravel race.
If you are looking for the best do-it-all gravel bike in 2026, this video is for you.
