Adventure bicycles are arguably the most versatile bikes on the planet, while they come in a variety of forms they are all designed to be equally capable on a long on-road tour as on a day getting away from it all on dirt roads as on some light single track riding. They stemmed from cyclocross bikes which look like road bikes but are built for riding off pavement. Today there is a huge variety of adventure bikes on the market all catering to different ideal rides, but at the end of the day, versatility is the key for these machines.
