Rondo invited us out to the Baltic coastal town of Hel to try their new capable aero bike: the Hvrt. The perfect bike for the mixed gravel and tarmac epic ride that took in the best roads, forests, gravel and dumplings Poland has to offer…

Great job, love it
Alexa, add Rondo HVRT to the shopping list lol. I want one of those with the 650s as my commuter bike. Great video and epic scenery.
Check out south of Poland.
1. Kotlina Kłodzka
2. Beskid
3. Bieszczady
Don't go telling Poles (a very religious people) that Satan rules over hell!!! He's ending up in eternal fire (Matthew 25:41)
I digress. It's great to see Polska finally highlighted as a great place to ride. It's got great terrain of all types.
This is like Top Gear but for bikes. Love it
Guys you two are the best team out there at GCN, fun to watch you each time. Poland is a great country with nice places. Consider also to visit their neighbors in the south, Slovakia, the home of Peter Sagan. Just google their biggest bike company Kellys. Thumbs up.
I,m Poland Polska yeah
I would recommend to ride across all seacoast, with route named R10 from Hel to Świnoujście and you can go even further around all Baltic Sea through Germany – Denmark – Sweden – Finland – Estonia – Lituania – Latvija and again to Poland 🙂
Nice. Greetings from Sydney
I have a rondo bike…the ruut st. Honestly best thing I've ever ridden.
This is a sexy bike…
Amazing !!
13:30 raising the temp. of that lake by 10°c could've killed lots of fish and other water life 😳
Pierogi are an amazing dish and can be enjoyed in so many ways with so many varieties.
Poland? You should explore Russia. Trans-Sebirian route. It should not be problem for you, boys.
Lived in Poznan for a while back in 2017. I had no idea there were such amazing beaches there. Like they said in the intro, "Who knew"?
Also, yeah. Exactly like Kansas!
If you want to change landscape for far more hilly and mountain just travel to the Sounther Poland: Krakow City and Zakopane, towards boarder with Slovakia : )
The views here are nothing special. There is a bicycle path called the "Cycling Trail around the Tatra Mountains" through southern Poland and northern Slovakia. 250 km, 100% asphalt,absolutelly amazing views. Perfect trail for 1 day trip.

Do somebody knows the Bike sizes that they were using?!
Cheers from NYC
Serbia, Hungary, all Eastern European countires are like that full with unpaved, fire roads with minimal traffic, you should visit them!
If not north coast, you may explore mountains in the south of Poland!
I have seen it twice and it’s amazing and the bikes are awesome. ( you have no idea how much I would like to be there as well)
Cheers from NYC
shitty acting
Last time I was in Poland, I left a biro in the sun and it melted…
I always pictured Poland as overcast and gloomy for some reason but apparently I was way wrong.
POLSKA GUROM
Pierogi made by a Polish gran is the best thing ever. Delicious.
The Baltic coast is delightful. You should return and check out the mountains in the South, wonderful in Summer.
I love Poland weather
You could ride from switzerland to the netherlands along the Rhein and make a stop in Koblenz to visit Canyon 👍🏼
The Best because ….polish
Never heared of Rondo, now I'm in love
Another great presentation GCN, truly inspiring route on show, the presenters are great as always, just brilliant.
I want those wheels. At the beginning of the ride
Hey GCN. What do you think about a new challenge for Hank ? Ride around the Tatr ? 🙂
No need to change tires for that ride….
8:10 Ollie’s edible kicks in 😂
Lovely ride and scenery. And these guys are the best cycling double act on YouTube!
I came here to find out what a polish bike ride was.
yakking? Haven't heard that for years!!
This is one of GCN's best videos of all time. Keep up the good work.
I love to watch your channel 🙂 It is so nice to see in Poland and pierogi are good 🙂 try to go into mountains next time. greetings from Crewe in England
When are you traveling to Norway?
Free range wheels? Why doesn't this ever happen on my rides!!!
GNC are you guys coming back to Poland?
Watched this in 2022 and v close to buying a rondo hvrt cf2! At the same price point, there is also the trek Edmonda sl5 though. Both have very similar parts.
If I’m looking for a carbon commuter bike for mostly bike lanes and the occasional rough roads + cycling road trips 3-5 times a year, would you go rondo or trek at this price point? Thanks 🙏🏼
My wife is Polish. From the southern portion. Beautiful down that way.
As an American, I’m surprised to see you guys struggle with pierogi. They’re relatively common even over here.
Very nice, if not perfect story. Brilliantly spoken and professional. One of the best. Superb marketing skills of true athletes. 👍 I love that bike and l love Poland
looks so nice!
