Organisers of the Gravel & Adventure Bike Expo have confirmed the show will head back to London on 9u201310 January 2027, giving off-road riders an early-season date to pencil into their diaries.
The event has established itself as a key fixture for fans of gravel, bikepacking and adventure riding, bringing together brands, route specialists and industry figures under one roof at the start of the year. Exact venue and exhibitor details are expected to follow closer to the date, but the confirmation alone signals continued confidence in the gravel sector’s appeal to both newcomers and seasoned riders.
For UK gravel enthusiasts, the timing is significant. January has increasingly become a natural moment for the discipline’s calendar to kick off, as riders look to refresh kit, plan routes and get inspired ahead of spring events and long-distance challenges. With gravel racing and adventure riding continuing to grow rapidly in Britain, a dedicated expo offers a rare chance to see the latest bikes, tyres and bikepacking gear in person before committing to a season’s worth of purchases.
On Track readers who have followed gravel’s rise from a niche pursuit to a mainstream discipline will recognise why such shows matter. They provide a meeting point between manufacturers pushing frame geometry and tyre clearance innovations, and riders eager to test-ride before buying rather than relying on online reviews alone. As gravel’s popularity shows no sign of slowing, expect this fixture to remain firmly on the calendar for anyone serious about adventure riding in the UK.
