- 2x systems enable a wide range with finely graduated gears and a constant cadence, but are more complex and more sensitive to mud.

What suits you: 1x or 2x gears on a gravel bike?

- More cycling requires safe networks, good links with public transport and policies that combine mobility, quality of life and climate protection.
