Power and control work together in the Stereo Hybrid ONE44 HPC EXC, so you can ride every trail better. On the control front there's 150mm of smooth travel up front, courtesy of a RockShox Psylo Gold fork, and 140mm at the rear, handled by a matching Deluxe Select+ shock. Continental's ground-hugging Kryptotal 2.4in tyres roll on a Newmen Performance 30 TRQ wheelset and are kept in check by Sram's powerful Maven Base hydraulic discs. We fitted a remote dropper post, of course. As for power, that's handled by Avinox's smooth, quiet M2S drive – with removable 800Wh battery and DP100 controller – and delivered to the trail via Sram's Eagle 90 Transmission 1x12 gears. More power, more control, more trail fun...

The Nulane C:62 SLX is proof that fast, light, rugged and versatile are all words that can be applied to a single bike. Built around our elegant, lightweight and tough C:62® carbon frame, it combines road bike pace with tourer versatility and a dose of gravel toughness. The full carbon fork perfectly complements the frame's low weight and comfortable ride characteristics, while Shimano's 1x11 Cues gears serve up perfect shifts on demand. There's a set of powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes for safe stopping in any weather, and grippy 45mm Schwalbe tyres mounted on Newmen Performance R32 wheels keep you rolling on tarmac or gravel alike. It's the complete package.

What do you really need in a bike? Chances are, the Nulane Deluxe EXC has it covered. Easy-to-use, low-maintenance Shimano Alfine 8-speed gears? Check. Clean, quiet Gates belt drive? Present and correct. Light, fast-rolling and durable Schwalbe tyres and strong Shimano hydraulic disc brakes to help keep you safe, regardless of road conditions? Of course. With an elegant frame design and nimble, confidence-inspiring handling, it's all you need – and nothing that you don't – for weekday duties and weekend adventures.

For those times when the road peters out on a family ride, the Nuroad Rookie will just keep going. With tough, comfortable and grippy 45mm Schwalbe tyres fitted to a pair of ACID disc wheels as standard, it doesn't care whether you're rolling on tarmac or gravel – either way, it has the grip and the comfort to make every ride fun. Shimano Cues hydraulic disc brakes serve up ample stopping power whatever the weather gets up to, and Shimano Cues 1x9 gears have the range to take on any route. It's got adventure in its DNA, so you can feed their curiosity.

There are various ways to eke more speed out of a race bike, but for the Nuroad C:62 SLX, we opted to fit a pair of Zipp's 303 XPLR wheels. Shod with Schwalbe's fast-rolling 45mm G-One RX Pro tyres, their deep rim is designed to provide a measurable aero advantage at typical gravel race speeds. Not content with that, we added an IC Race Cockpit and Sram Force XPLR cranks with a power meter – to ensure you're always in full control. Sram's GX Eagle 1x12 Transmission gets your power to the ground and puts the perfect ratio at your fingertips, and matching Sram Force AXS hydraulic disc brakes help you keep your speed in check. It's the complete race package.

Simplicity is good for a bicycle that's going to be used off the beaten path, but it needn't mean compromise. The Nuroad C:62 ONE's full carbon frame and fork – light, elegant, functional and equipped with mounting points for mudguards and carriers – are just the start. We fitted a Newmen Advanced G.34 J carbon wheelset shod with Schwalbe 45mm G-One R Performance tyres for the best combination of weight, grip and durability. Then we added Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes, for excellent control in any weather. And finished with the functional excellence of Shimano's GRX 1x12 gears, for a huge range of ratios literally at your fingertips. Fast gravel – it's here.

The Nuroad Pro is going to ask a question of you: where would you like to go next? With ample clearance for its wide, grippy Schwalbe tyres, it has the ability to keep going where other bikes have long since turned back. Shimano's slick-shifting Cues 1x11 gears put the right ratio for any road at your fingertips. Powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes ensure you've always plenty of stopping power in reserve. And the comfortable carbon fork helps reduce vibration, so you can ride for longer in comfort. With its mudguard-, rack- and kickstand-ready frame, you're all set for two-wheeled exploring... wherever you want to go.
