Hey folks! I’m trying to figure out the best bike to commit to as my main bikepacking rig, and I’d love some outside perspective. Here are the options:

1. Lauf Seigla WWW 2024 (carbon)

Pros:

• Already own it
• Love everything about it, my go-to for serious rides

Cons:

• Nervous about trashing it on rough trips
• Meh mounting options
• Race geometry isn’t ideal for loaded touring

2. Fuji Jari 2.5 2019 (steel)

Pros:

• Already own this one too
• Steel, so I can beat it up without worry
• Willing to upgrade it to make it more bikepacking ready

Cons:

• Heavy as hell
• Upgrades cost $$$ (is it even worth it?)

3. Canyon Grizl 2025 (aluminum)

Pros:

• Excellent mounting points
• Lighter, better all around than the Fuji
• Feels more purpose built for bikepacking

Cons:

• Don’t own it (yet?)
• Can’t decide between 1x or 2x

4.? Open to you telling me I'm totally wrong and I should go with _____

What would you do? Stick with what I have or go all in on something new and more dialed for bikepacking? Any similar setups you’ve used and loved (or hated)? Appreciate the input!
