Designing gravel bikes with Vielo‘s new V+1

Just Ride Bikes

British bike brand Vielo first launched its V+1 all-road/gravel bike back in 2018 and on the launch of the second-generation model in 2021, I sat down with company founder Ian Hughes to find out what has changed with this new bike, and the improvements they've sought to offer over the original. We also chatted about the growing popularity of gravel bikes as more people make the switch from road bikes, why 1x gearing is here to stay, why the bikes look the way they do with bold colours and lack of traditional branding, and look to the future of gravel bikes. So grab a cup of tea and enjoy
