Like in title, will a gravel bike with carbon fork for around 1600$ be able to handle this type of terrain?

tires tires tires. all depends on what tires you use. 32mm slicks, maybe maybe not. go up to like 40’s with a tiny bit of tread and it will handle this easily.
I would say this is typical gravel bike terrain, so any specific gravel bike should be just fine here. I ride a gravel bike with 38c tires setup tubeless and would be comfortable taking it here (although maybe not optimal, a 40-45c will be more comfortable).
I’d send that all day long with my 38c’s
Easy breezy
Yes, absolutely. Put a 40mm+ knobby tire on with some good sidewall protection, and you can take it (almost) anywhere.
Ever watch cyclocross racing?
My 650x47s are thinking “nom nom nom” 🤤
Lmao
Guys come on- these are practically paved roads.
Four pictures of the most brutal gravel I have ever seen 🤓
Pic 2&4 I rode on today giant tcr on 25c’s, it’s all about balance.
Watch this,

Guys, I don’t know if 100mm of travel is enough for this.
It’s rarely ever the bike holding a rider back.
Only a full suspension fat tired ebike would handle that brutal gravel!
You could ride this on a schwinn with 23 mm tires
I’d ride road tyres on that 🤷♂️
If the wheels are round, it will.
