Go down a double black and then see if you don’t need a mtb
I like my full suspension mtb tho 🥹
Basically a worse road bike and a worse MTB at the same time
I never understood the reason for the existence of a gravel bike? Like what does this do at all? It’s like a retard baby being stuck in what to be. No suspension, then ability to go to dirt tracks. Skinny tires in trail? Like WTH
I dont see the point. Gravel Bikes neither are as good as road bikes nor as trail or mountain bikes… just buy either of the two and be fine.
Yeah but where’s the fun in that?!
Right now I’m at on odd sweet spot: road for speed, gravel for adventure, and MTB for singletrack. Every base covered (except commuting, which I do on a motorcycle).
What bike type is this
I can only afford 1 💀💀💀
Even if I only need one I will buy two in different colors
That bike is so ugly I’m sorry to say…
Tell us what the bike is wtf
A fat bike is the way to go!
Name of the bike ? Pls anyone??
What bike
No, Am gonna keep my 20 year old 40$ bike😅
Name of the bike
Hang on, hang on.
You're telling me there's an aero gravel hardtail MTB 🙄
*"anything but pavement and light gravel roads" has entered the chat*
Уеs but ITS Not safely and Not good for cyclike
One bike , don't be ridiculous
If there is a droper post and space for 29×2.3 tyres… yeah pretty much it can do it all. Maybe a short travel fork, but then it's just a nerfed MTB.
Got one mountain and two gravel. Looking at more.
Nope, I will need 2.
I have a tt bike for long distance triatlons.
And 1 for the shorter distances were a tt bike is illegal.
Got $10k and I'll agree with you. I'd buy a Bianchi Zolder or All Road.
Did I just saw a giant horse imprint on that mountain? 🐎
cyclocross Bike is the one for me, it can do everything, maybe not so fast and not so comfortable but i can ride anywhere and i can ride a long distance and its pretty fast.
Allright I'll sell my fatbike and roadbike and mtb for tis one. The explanation really convinced me.
No
Those pebbles didn't convince me, sorry.
Probably expensive half years salary
Bro these short clips finna make a gravel bike appear at my house 🔥
which model of canyon is this? i like the colorway
But You only showed my path to local trails xD
I'd rather have a road rig that I could TT with. #simplon – no interest in off road or the gravel fad.
I love my speedy TCR and versatile cross bike and use them out. No thanks for such an ambiguous gravel biplane needing a lot of self-build tools and chemicals.
Definitely not but cool bike
Yes. Only RaceMax Italia. The most innovative bike for both 💯
Carbon 💀💀💀🤮💀
Incorrect. I have gravel bike ( checkpoint sl5) full suspension (fuel ex5) and fat bike( giant yukon 2)
I have use for all of them
The correct number of bike's to own is n+1😂
roadies got their brains exhausted by climbing too sad
What about for those BMX people?😂🧐
Gravel bikes are the best.
Lol. Depends on where you line. We have rocky steep trails out here. A gravel bike is just a road bike out here.
And that bike is?
Why did I sell my grail 😭😭😭😭😭
was on the fence for ages, this sold me. heading to Canyon site now.
no rack no need this stuff.
