Why Vielo Thinks 1x Is the Future for All Road and Gravel Bikes

This episode is sponsored by Vielo.

BikeRadar’s senior technical editor, Warren Rossiter, chats to Ian Hughes, the co-founder of 1x-specific bike brand Vielo.

Vielo was founded in 2017 by father and son team Ian and Trevor Hughes. They’re confident in the benefits of 1x for road and gravel riders – to the point that Vielo’s bikes are only compatible with single-chainring drivetrains.

Warren quizzes Ian on the brand’s origins, why they think 1x works for riders, and what’s next for Vielo.
