What's your favourite gravel adventure bike? Let us know!

[jeffandersen]

Good price range picks. But I almost could not believe Canyon's 1:1 gear ratio being adequate for loaded climbing.

[PaulioNZ]

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!

[plfree]

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.

[Momokahn]

I'm more than happy with my 2011 Trek Cobia. Perfect adventure bike and built like a tank.

LOVE the Team Lampre livery on the Grizl. 😂 But that one doesn't come stateside. 😢

[npdf]

Marin is nice.. but love my Genesis CDf does everything.. and only 8.5kg 😊 ❤ 🚴🏻Condor are also awesome.. Pete

*as long as you don’t exceed >275 lbs total weight, which voids frame and wheel warranty (exception on Nicasio, which has 350lbs, of which i chose and ❤love)

[bagusismujati]

Have just purchased Marin Nicasio for my first gravel bike. Hope to have fun with it!

[Realiv]

I have a canyon sl8 suspension: super bike !

[BoxCarBoy]

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

[peuple]

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

[jimboburgess]

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.

[amitkumar-wjgn]

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.

[twowheeling]

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.

[etr]

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!

[gerlachsieders]

Say what, my Fairlight Secan is not on this list!? Sacrilege!

[kevindean]

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 ;).

[PH_at_PH]

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???

[gravelnomad]

Canyon: Not recommended for anybody with the need to adjust reach due to the stem being 1 1/4'' instead of 1 1/8''.
