Sometimes scouting the maps and going on an adventure really pays off. This is one of the funnest trails I’ve ridden on the gravel bike. Pretty rough and technical up top, and then really loose, soft, and fast on the second half. Riding the ridge line up top got me pretty pumped and had me almost lose it a few times, before eventually speaking of crashing only to do so 3 seconds later! It was having too good of a time to rein it in so I kept the good times rolling and the grip barely hanging in there all the way down.

Amazing views. That place looks like from a game or something. Witcher game for example.
The algo recommends this to me two years later? I have a gravel bike but I put more road focused tires on it. I would almost certainly bring a hardtail mountain bike in it's place and clean up some of that chatter.
No. This makes me wanna enjoy even more my awesome MTB.😅
Dont need one, i got a Cyclocross Bike and i love it.
Nope still no grabel bike :))
bro I wish there were trails like that in my country…
Nope. Still hardtail rules.
EDIT: i wrote this before you fall, so…
It will much better by enduro bike)
I've rode drop bars for 34 year now I feel more confident with them so I'd take the gravel over a flat bar mtb
The only question I have is: what is the steam on that bike??? I don't want to buy a gravel 🤷♂
Never gritted my teeth so much while watching a cycling video. Love the trail, but my cowardly self needs a proper mountain bike for something like this. Propers!
Where is this trail?
👍
Why would we want a gravel bike after watching a guy go DOWN hill on a MONTAIN?
I will never understand my fellow ciclists, anyway awesome trail.
and now i don't want a gravel bike
What's a Gravel Bike?
I've mountain biked, but only at my family's farm where there's less of a risk of falling off the mountain, it's enclosed with trees and bushes, you're more likely to get hit and scratched by those than fall off some mountain.
this video makes me to buy MTB instead
I still don't want one
I was scared for him. Isnt it better to hold on to top handle for better control on this kind of trail. You got massive ones 😩
rolling downhill, meh. if you do same path uphill, i'll be convinced that i want a gravel bike.
c est cool
I’ve done this and all I can say is just use a damm mountain bike
I know exactly where this is, in the middle of LA!
All fun and games until you hit a bump
1:30 Exactly why you DO NOT want a gravel bike !!
Чувак, ты ошибся с велосипедом, для этого нужен MTB bike!)
I dream a gravel with 34mm tire in road set and 50 in offroad
If you have a road bike just put gravel tires on it 😂 don’t waste your money on another bike
i want an air fork After Watching This
An MTB bike would be better in such terrain
Feels faster than an F1 onboard cam.
wtf are these bikes, if i want gravel i get mountain bike or downhill bike …
I actually wanted a gravel bike and this video changed my mind 😉
Здесь бы явно больше подошёл горный велосипед. Чувак чуть не вылетел с дороги просто потому, что у него узкие покрышки и руль. Гравийник – эти про быструю езду по прямой.
Эта трава… Это ужас. Когда ты не видишь, что будет через 3 метра, а нужно смотреть на 10 вперёд.
I consider my 1992 KONA Hei Hei a gravel bike with 2.3 tires and a SID fork , also this is more of a mtb trail than what I'd consider gravel . That bike is barely suitable for this type of riding as you need bigger tires to absorb the bumps but as long as you're having fun that's all that matters
Přesně! Proč chodit pěšky, když můžu jet na kole. 👍
