The BEST budget gravel bike? (Van Rysel GRVL AF Review)

I’ve ridden 4,000km+ on the Van Rysel GRVL AF — so is Decathlon’s budget gravel bike actually worth buying in 2026? After thousands of kilometres of gravel, road riding, climbs, descents and plenty of Scottish weather, I’m putting the GRVL AF through its paces to see how it really performs. In this review, I cover everything from the ride quality, gearing and brakes to comfort, handling, climbing and the things I’ve loved (and hated) after 4,000km+. Is this one of the best budget gravel bikes you can buy? And who is it actually for? 🚴 Van Rysel GRVL AF 00:00 – Intro to the bike 00:45 – Gravel Bikes Overview 02:10 – Who are Van Rysel 02:24 – GRVL AF Specs & Price 03:11 – My 4,000km review & Verdict If you’re looking for a budget gravel bike, first gravel bike or an affordable bike for road and off-road adventures, hopefully this gives you a better idea of what the Van Rysel GRVL AF is actually like to live with.
