The Enduro bike became the DH, the Trail bike became the Enduro, the XC bike became the Trail bike, the Gravel bike became the XC, the Endurance bike became the Gravel bike, the Race bike became the Endurance bike, and somewhere, someone deep in an R&D lab is inventing the next great hyper-focused no-compromises Race bike so that the cycle can start all over again.

I want you to know how much I appreciate you and your channel. We have been a long-term cyclist with my wife and family. 30+ years . My wife and I have a road bikes (specialized Roubaix and ruby), gravel bikes (salsa cutthroats), e-gravel bike’s (Kona, libre el) and a custom Rodriguez tandem. I have been fighting stage 4 prostate cancer with metastasis to the bones for the last 2+ years. I can no longer ride an upright diamond frame bike. If I were to fall they say I would have a fracture of the bones and most likely have paralysis. I ordered a recumbent trike and it should arrive today. Even though I can’t do the rides you guys do, I find it motivating to watch your videos. It motivates me to want to get out and ride the trike and be outside. It puts a smile on my face . I just wanted you guys to know you were making a difference even in a situation like this. Thank you for your fun, laughter, adventures, etc. any words of encouragement would be appreciated. Thank you again for your content and your fun.

Take a moment to be thankful for relatively easy access to routes like that. gotta do some serious traveling to have that type of mixed terrain. sweet bike and perfect selection for the route.

Dustin, I just bought one of these in the Rival 1x build, in part based on your video. I get that it's product promotion, but your observations were spot on. After a lifetime of road riding and mountain biking, I'm having so much fun on my first gravel bike. Thanks for your informative and entertaining videos. Keep up the good work!

For those of us that have been around since the late 70s this isn't necessarily new but it's nice to see a manufacturer get on board. Guys have been tinkering at bike shops for years. Especially if you exist on the fringe. Seems like a great option!

Everything is banging in this episode. Music, editing, cuts, and especially the bike.

I like how gravel bikes started off as an alternative to MTBs, then they ditched 2x drivetrains, then they got fatter tires, droppers, front shox and now even an MTB geometry is a plus (4:07). Just put a straight handlebar on it and admit your mistake lol

Volcano sauce is hands down the best name! Killer video as always

Went out and did this ride a week ago. What a blast. Be ready to climb on the front end, but leave a little for Bon Jon pass. We had one navigation error - dont go up the notch pass trail off the lower big quilcene.

I have a Stiggy I put together a few years ago. I ride on mostly flat gravel roads so I don't need a suspension fork. Mine weighs about 19 pounds. Love it!

[NicPottier]

Just think how much fun these guys are going to have when they discover singletrack downhills!

[neilpook]

Wow, that bike really does come close to solving the "one bike fits all" equation! The only deal-breaker for me is; The seat tube doesn't seem to have a mount for a front derailleur.
I get that with saddle that's a part of the bike that will never fit all. This is why they often ft them with cheap ones.
History of the Ruby. There was once a road race fork from Rockshox called "Ruby". It was basically a reduced travel version of the MAG 20/21. As Rockshox always plays on words with their models; It's a Ruby with the MTB Judy = Ruby. Both both are historic forks and if I'm right? The Ruby borrows a lot of it's tech from the Judy.
A good all round and easy adjustable fork. IMO.
Great to see Ron back on the team! Ron's routes always RULE!
Dustin's Videos are artistic, aesthetic, creative, dramatic, imaginative, and musical. Also unquestionably rule! Ever!

I did a gravel ride in Switzerland with my 11kg (24lbs) Specialized Stumpjumper with 140mm x 130mm travel that you can lock out. Internal frame storage and flip chip to change the geo.
It also has a carbon swingarm with in-built flex through the carbon fibre seatstays, and 170mm dropper.

People where blown out of the water during the ride and wanted to buy one 😅😁

Cheers

"Volcano Sauce" for the win.

I put a Rudy fork and a Reverb dropper and the Force XPLR on my Sage. ZERO regrets.

"I found your next gravel bike... if you're stinking rich!" This thing is freaking $7000 USD in the spec you're riding. That's about $6000 more than my current already more than capable gravel bike, and is well, well out of reach for any but the wealthiest cyclists or YouTubers who get bikes for free.

YT Szepter is another bike that's very similar to this (and a bit more affordable in the EU). I agree about the suspension fork, if you're just riding for the fun of it, it's a must have. I'm not sure about the dropper post. You have to drop it a couple mm to activate the air spring, so you're trading correct seat height for a bit of cushion. A fixed carbon seatpost would provide extra cushion at the correct seat height.

[JakeLuke]

Yeah, gravel bikes, love 'em, hate 'em whatever you like, but you guys are fun. Really fun. Many thanks.

[CaliradoKid]

Now that I've been gravel biking ONCE I can consider myself a Gravel Biker. And this bike looks awesome!

[hornet]

Cannondale Carbon 2 Lefty did it 2 or 3 years ago $4, 250.

I think your buddy coined the right name for the color, Volcano Sauce.
