Gravel Recommendation? (lemmy.world)

I'm in the market for a gravel bike. Currently riding a 2020 Specialized Allez which I love. I've moved to a rural area, hard to find routes without hitting gravel at some point.

Bike would be used on a mix of gravel + road.

The Priority Apollo is a great all-rounder gravel bike that is super low maintenance with a Shimano Alfine 11 internally geared hub and Gates carbon belt drive. It won’t be the fastest on the road but handles all terrains well. My personal riding experience with the Apollo is a combination of paved, dirt and light gravel and it’s easily handled all three. Purchasing is online only but the Priority team is very knowledgeable and quick to respond to any questions you may have about features, sizing, concerns, etc.
