Hey everyone,
I’m planning to buy a bike for bikepacking, but I’m torn between getting one with or without suspension. I’ll be riding mostly off-road – gravel, rocks, tree roots, forest trails – mainly in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Germany.
I’ve been considering the Kona Rove LTD (link), but I’m also looking at suspension bikes; models from Scott Contessa, Trek, Cross etc.
Would suspension make a big difference for this type of terrain, or would a rigid gravel bike be the better choice? Any recommendations or experiences would be super helpful!
Thanks!
