GBs indeed can catch up with RBs because while Tires that using a holocaust with proper watt power theres really no difference its just tires and cassettes
Same rider and same power – no, not even close. The tires are the biggest thing bc the big knobby tires sap at least 10W per tire. Then add the loss of aero from the wheels, the bike itself and most importantly the rider whoโs in a more upright position and itโs not even close.
If you like gravel more, have a set of wheels you swap in for road and youโll be fine as long as you arenโt โtrying to keep upโ for anyone.
Tbh i like gravel bikes because its just between a road and an mtb. I mostly cycle to get a workout and also for speed. A gravel bike being heavier than a road bike means I'll have more of a workout.
What is the main point of a gravel bike? They cant go mtb trails and they are inefficiencnt they took the bad from both and put them together to get gravel bike

They are fine bikes
Really nice bikes
Epic vid
Love your positive energy
Heck yea gravel ftw! Also nice song choice ๐
Oh this bs argument? Still here Baby!
No, no it canโt.
For leisure rides all day. Donโt know Iโm a full blown race tho.
Any bike can keep up with any bike depending on the riders
This was good haha
It can but you'll be using more watts.
cool.. i just swap in a road wheelset ๐
Real qestion is how long you can keep up with road bike ๐ ๐
Yeah, having someone in front on a flat road, even grandma can keep up.
I couldnโt ๐

gravel bassicaly road but with beefier tires:/ r there other differences between the tires…
Yeah ofc it can, a mountain bike can too, itโs just more energy consuming.

What brand gravel bike is that?
If you put same specs, then it will. But it also depends on your knees
Yes I got a down hill gravel bike and Iโve passed road bikes
can a road bike catch up with gravel bike on gravel roads? haha
โCan a fatbike keep up with a road bike?โ
puts pro on fartbike
โIt canโ

It ain't about the bike it's about the rider
For how long? Is the question!
I kept up w my dad going 36 kph and Iโm only 12 so a gravel can keep up but road bikes are less versatile than gravel but roads r more aerodynamic
Maybe it can, but you'll have to reconcile with the fact that you're using the second best bike for the job… Personally, I can't do that.

hahah probably a better workout keeping up with a road bike. Either way you can'y go wrong!!
Whatโs a gravel bike
It depends in the riders, i ride there too try keep up with me ๐๐๐
With gravel bike i don't worry about potholes
Stupid video, good person
Yes, when it is the salsa warbird
Gravel bikes are roadbikes with fatter tires. If you can compensate for increased weight and rotational mass of tires, it should be pretty close.
I think homie meant motorbike lmao
I'd smoke you on a TT rig tho. you'd have NO CHANCE.
take the pull and then youll see you cant. ots just the aerodinamics on the tires….

Man them old people stay passing me up and I know my legs moving faster than them, they just be looking at me like Iโm slow on my mountain bike lol
Stupid video. Same guy putting out same power under same conditions will easily be 2-3mph faster on the roadie. Waste of my time.
Does drafting behind the faster bike count?
That roadie was weak
