Or I can just keep my road bike and my mountain bike and call it good.

[karl]

I wan't to see you rip down a downhill track with that thing and I'm going to be convinced

[whatthewhat]

Never trust a guy in tights telling you to sell your mtb

[artursbode]

Damn i just built new bmx bike. Only if i knew i would build this one. Double bar spins first try 👌🏻

[earlchesterfield]

Enduro with a gravel bike doesn't sound so pleasing

[DCW]

I loved the part where he explaines why i only need one bike

[mouaxiong]

That carbon might be crying for it's life.

[kazearqaz]

That bike will hurt on potholes. I'll stay on my MTB

130-150mm travel hard tail. Plenty bounce for downhill & jumpy fun stuff, fast climbing w/lockout, decent commuter, comfy for distance, even a decent road bike on the right tyres. Any questions? 😏

[LarryTait]

A very nice bike indeed. My question in a straight up road race or solo TT, how much are you losing to rolling resistance and aero positions?

[reginaldscot]

I have so many customers who buy a gravel bike online then ask me how to make it faster? I’m like “do you ride any gravel?” And they always say no, that they just ride road… my next thought is “so why didn’t you buy a road bike then?” Yesterday one actually said “because GCN said they are good at everything.”?🧐

[dunkinking]

Full squish life. Not gonna convince me otherwise

[lameboysmtb]

My two mountain bikes laughing in the corner

[agentcairns]

was on the fence for ages, this sold me. heading to Canyon site now.

[jmzbondm]

My MTB already does everything I need with it. But yes, gravel bikes are cool. I'd go for it over road bikes.

[wangbo]

the question is can you use road bike for downhill? and can you use a regular mountain bike to compete in a road race competition?

[PoliticusRex]

I've had this mentality for 50 years. A proper built steel bike I used for road, cyclocross, touring, even some trails but that's never been my thing.

[fredjacobs]

Yes. Only RaceMax Italia. The most innovative bike for both 💯

[benhazeark]

time to buy it and head to downhill trail

[thePontiacBandit]

Lol. Depends on where you line. We have rocky steep trails out here. A gravel bike is just a road bike out here.
