Cyclists have evolved over the years to take two wheels to new and different landscapes. The humble bicycle has similarly mutated to adapt to whatever setting it finds itself in, to the point where two wheeled creatures are suited to all kinds of terrain, be it silky smooth road, loose gravel tracks, or steep mountainous descents, but just what happens when a rider and steed tackle territory they’ve not yet encountered? Let’s watch and find out.

How did the gravel bike come to be anyways
This video was beautiful
Brilliant 👏
4:55 Commentator says 'uphill' but we never see him going uphill. Gliding downhill is fine but put it on a 15% and let's see what you got. Hills separate cyclist from mountain bikers pretty quickly. That said, truly beautiful video.
45 mm?
today i was ridign my gravel ebike and accidentally went left to early and was on a real downhill mtb trail… i thought fck it and went down lol it was i lil bit hard and slippery with the thin tires but it actually worked out if u keep the speed in mind LOL
Gotta love the intro lmao
That was simply awsome!!!
shred that 7000 pound bike through the trail 😀
Omg brother so good bad asss. Triple thumbs 👍 up.
The bike is solid and my Ebike conversion went great. https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Very smooth ride at 30mph with no problems (135 miles ridden so far). The picture is a bit deceiving – there is WAY less space in the center of the frame than it shows. The suspension connection takes up the entire thing. So I needed to attach my battery on the bottom of the frame and my controller on the top. Instructions for assembly were lacking but honestly it wasn't too hard to figure out even though I have very little bike knowledge. Watched some youtube videos on adjusting the disk brakes but that was it. Still, I am loving it and very happy with the purchase.
😂😂😂👌🏻
Id rather die than wear those lycra cycling gear
thats david attendgravelborrow😊😂
This is what church bell sized balls made of steel look like 👌
This very entertaining!
Only two minutes of the video, and you can already tell this is an epic one !! The story telling is really captivating !!
I mean, cute production, but the first 4 minutes were just fast forwarding. Not to be rude, but the cute factor was way over the top.
AMAZING 😂
Baahahahahaha!! Fan-bloody-tastic!
I too am a Mountain Biker dipping his toe into to world of lighter and faster, and seriously considering taking the un-holy step into the world of gravel. I'm a little scared to be honnest… This has certainly just added new fire to the gravel vs XC hardtail debate. Dam, now what do I do?
I did not expect the thing to do that 😮 though I am old enough to remember DH bikes from the early nineties… 😬
