MAKE YOUR BIKES CHEAPER IM BEGGING YOU

[k__m]

In my country 🇧🇪 the roads are just so shit that i cant drive a racebike unless i want a flat tire everyday or atleast every week thats why i might buy a gravelbike

[universalsoldier]

After two accidents being bumped by cars, I will probably never go back to road biking except the 5-mile commute to work. Picking up my new Verve 3 this weekend.

What do we want?
50mm tyre clearance on the checkmate
When do we want it?
Before you release it!

Rocking the Domane this year. I've been off road with it way more than on the pave

[wiiiLLm]

Can I use an XC bike instead? I want to have a bike that a I can use for long rides with a very slight off-road. Road conditions are not good in our country plus I prefer the aesthetics of mtb.

Get a 29" mtb frame, something with narrow chainstays like a BMC so you can put a road crank on. Replace the fork with a 27.5 fork, but keep the 700c wheels. You can still fit 45-47mm gravel tires and now you've got a long, low and slack fire road flyer. BONUS: you save $$$ by not paying the "gravel tax"

If you don't care about speed, a full suspension MTB is definitely more comfortable than a solid frame with no real suspension. Tried locking up my suspension for a 20km ride 100% road, it didn't took me 3 minutes to unlock the suspension 😂
Because even if I have bigger tires, I can feel way more bumps than with the suspension on. So I can imagine a bike with virtually ZERO suspension and smaller tires 😅
But, I noticed road and gravel bikes are really way faster on the road than MTB, so I am thinking of trying a full suspension road or gravel bike. 🤔
...or I will just play with my full sus MTB and convert it a mid drive e-bike with around 1kw motor and battery capacity that can reach 100+km in flat roads. 🤔

I don’t know about gravel bikes but I ride my Trek 800 from my house to the mailbox bank at the entrance to my subdivision 5 miles one way down a part gravel/part dirt road.

Got rid of my rigid gravel bike and just ride my mountain bike on group rides. On smooth dirt roads they’re faster than me but throw in some ruts rocks & downhills I’m faster and more controlled.

Bro I just want a road bike
But where I live is just mud. And then a few miles later it's just all road

[francisdelacruz]

Gravel Bike is like an SUV. You can go anywhere while spending most of your time on the road. If you choose though you can even ride red mtb trails. You cant do that on a roadie. Cheers.

Well, from where I'm living only gravel bike make sense. 50/50 road and trail and the trail is just flat as f.

[frailgrande]

Best of both worlds: mtb with gravel tires 👹👊🏻💥 like I did

[NeedChocyMilk]

This sounds like a tourism ad for Queensland Australia😂

[Thetoad]

I'd consider gravel but no gravel roads where I live.

[albertcampos]

Lmfao! Trek telling you why YOU need to buy what is essentially an endurance frame/bike but rebranded and with a price tag of 2500+.

[BetrThnYou]

Im a mountain biker and lets just say the roadies can have this one

[JackXcRacer]

Did you see the new specialized world cup bike
