I’m a more beginner rider. As in I’ve ridden off and on and know how to fix a lot of parts on a bike, but am not a heavy spender or enthusiast.
My current bike is an old “full” suspension comfort bike frankensteined with MTB parts worth like $50 tops. I went on some gravel paths today and it was a blast. Do these surfaces count as gravel? No large stumps or jagged rocks, just hard packed dirt and small round pebbles.
I also go on roads/bike paths and cruise around 12-13 mph (~20kph) with bumps and curbs. It snows here too.
I value stability, efficiency, and consistency over raw speed.
Would a Dual sport be perfect for this? And if so, which one?
Thanks for helping out a beginner who’s still trying to figure out what’s what. Cheers.
