I headed to the British Gravel Championships to check out some of the bikes and equipment choices for this gravel race which was being attended by pros and amateur cyclists alike. The racing was fast, furious and dry and there was a fine selection of bikes on display.

Nice Crux 👌🏼
That corse looks really fun to ride.
Was that the Canyon Prototype at 8:18 we saw at Unbound?
Can't say the course looked too testing or technical; more like a road race. There's surely better venues around…
Some nice bikes mind you…..
More content like this, less of the “product review” stuff that usually comes cross as a sales pitch
2:12 'I live east of Hull' – always thought that would need a boat not a bike…
Dean's Basso was a really pretty bike, and having had a look on their website by today's standards almost reasonably priced (not really)
Nice to also see people using non-racey bikes aka bikepacking models.
Nice Basso looked awesome 😊😊👍🚴🏻 this contents great David.. Pete
Brilliant content loved this David go to more events for Gravel really enjoyed listening to the riders input on their bikes tyres etc.
Nah Minds the best cost me 7 pound for the brake cable and that's it as it was out of a skip…rides like a dream..
The only thing the bike in the thumbnail is best in, is being ugly.
Where was my beauty Allied Able?? 😁
"Absolute Savagery"….
hilarious-(&true)….
Brit's are the best!!!!!!
Interesting to see Conor on the RS785 levers
Great video 👍
Was that a new GRX Di2 Groupset on the Pinarello Grevil of the Ineos rider 🤔?
Hi David, thanks for featuring my bike. I was great to meet you and have a chat. Gravel is the future. The Kings Cup is a great event. Fantastic course made for open, fast gravel racing. The most fun I have on my bikes in ages. I also got my top 10 age group result that was my aiming for. More content like this David.
~7.2kg for that Factor? Should that be 8.2? The Tarmac SL8 Pro is ~7.2kg. If that LS is ~7.2, I would be interested in the spec, haven't heard the LS is astonishingly light and just looks like run of the mill GRX…
Sure enough, the triathlete was the nicest to talk to. Great to see Alistar coming to gravel.
Who won and what bike did they ride? I'll have that bike.
why the INEOS dude running ancient Di2?
Nice Grevil ❤ Did he run a 2x?
Nice to meet you David, I was the ruined chap on the finish line with the Dolan GXA – likely the cheapest bike featured but it's given me a lot of joy. Hope you had a good day – maybe see you on the start line next year!
