Guava Spot Force AXS

£4,950 Big-value, Barcelona-born bike that hits the spot for gravel riding

- Warren Rossiter

The Spot is the first bike from Spanish upstart brand Guava, founded by two friends with over 25 years of industry experience. Prices start at £2,950 and rise to £4,950 for this flagship bike with a SRAM Force and GX Eagle AXS blend, carbon wheels and cockpit. That's much cheaper than the competition - a Specialized Crux Pro with SRAM Rival XPLR eTap AXS group and alloy finishing kit is £6,300, while, despite an equivalent Force groupset and carbon wheels, Argon 18's Dark Matter comes in at £5,500.
