What's your favourite gravel adventure bike? Let us know!
You could have mentioned some Mason.
As 'cool' as the STR might claim to be, it is difficult to take a bike 'that does itself doggystyle' seriously. M sure it is comfy though.
0:55 oh come on, maybe the average viewer of this channel is more fit than I am but to me, no way is a 40-42 low gear low enough for climbing on some of the terrain gravel bikes are taken on these days. Particularly when loaded up
Typically every bike you have chosen has drop handle bars ? Most people I know use a alt bar ,plus you never even mentioned Rohloff or pinion ? Have any of you actually done adventure riding ;).
Mgravel bikey 🚴🚲Kross Eskera 5.0
I have the Ridley Kanzo Adventure 1 (2023) and it's a superb bike. Especially since I got it for 2.000€ and it's a carbon frame. It rides great and it has plenty of mounting points.
Canyon: Not recommended for anybody with the need to adjust reach due to the stem being 1 1/4'' instead of 1 1/8''.
Good price range picks. But I almost could not believe Canyon's 1:1 gear ratio being adequate for loaded climbing.
I have a canyon sl8 suspension: super bike !
'gravelistas' 😂😂
I bought a marin four corners. Same price point as the Nicasio. Superbe Adventure geometry, incredibly careless built frame and fork. I was shocked when it arrived. One fork leg is welded 5mm below the other one to the crown. The b-screw goes beneath the derailleur hanger which is part of the frame. This bike is utter trash, absolutely shocking.
Meh, save a bunch of cash and buy a Masi Giramondo. Affordable and properly equipped for the job.
Can you do a review like this for the latest e-Gravel bikes ?? Such as the Canyon -On, Trek Domane+, Scott e-Ride & Specialized Creo 2, among others I'm sure. Thanks!
Why no Trek Checkpoint??
I'm more than happy with my 2011 Trek Cobia. Perfect adventure bike and built like a tank.
These bikes don't make any sense and Specialized Diverge STR is the best example of a dead end street. Why would anybody want to have a read suspension on a bike with road handlebar???
No salsa cuthroat really
So no innovation anywhere, just the same bikes painted in different colors. Meh.
Marin is nice.. but love my Genesis CDf does everything.. and only 8.5kg 😊 ❤ 🚴🏻Condor are also awesome.. Pete
Say what, my Fairlight Secan is not on this list!? Sacrilege!
LOVE the Team Lampre livery on the Grizl. 😂 But that one doesn't come stateside. 😢
Have just purchased Marin Nicasio for my first gravel bike. Hope to have fun with it!
What if you started with a cyclocross frame and added a mullet drive train and gravel wheels and tires? So a cyclo-mountain-gravel-road bike? And built it for $1500 and to a 21 lb weight? …. 10 years ago? Oh wait, I did that. And named it the Franken bike. Rode it in several races and on just about every conceivable surface and grades from 0% to 15%. Hey bike industry, impress me!
This channel should be renamed CanyonRadar.
Gimma a list of best bikes of all time or even better just a list of good bikes that are reqdily available on the market new or used.
Focus atlas 6.7 best price best quality extremely reliable and then put an ultegra chain and pirelli centurato H or M 40 and it is incresible
