Looking for entry gravel ? Claude Primal / Radical / Voodoo Limba

[jase_31]

Im in the market for a "entry" level gravel /cx bike (second bike)

Ive looked at the reviews, and prices and the Claude Butler Primal, the Claude Butler Radical or Voodoo Limba all seem to have decent(ish) reviews.

The decathlon RC120 has jumped a lot in price.

Any idea if the Primal or Radial is the better option (the radial is a older year model, using Claris ST200, rather than A070 on the Primal)

Any other contenders you know about worthy of consideration?

Despite the higher price I would opt for the RC120. Great value and Decathlon’s warranty is excellent plus you’re dealing with the world’s largest retailer of cycles. Buying at Halfords is a bit hit and miss. Not familiar with the other bikes. I’d be wary of buying online, if something goes wrong sorting it won’t be easy, particularly if you’re not mechanically adept.

I have a Boardman team cycle cross around 2014 and love it
