Gravel
You ride your gravel with road shoes?
Gravel for because I'm in city near the sea and I love it! But for the path on the video I will use MTB.
Gravel with some 50 tires
Both plus a road bike 😂
Gravel like botton
between 40c – 2.3in is the chump zone. If you ride tires between these ranges then you are in fact a chump lol
Gravel for touring and long trips and everything not singletrack but roads, gravel roads and nature paths – MTB for gnarly singletrack, jumps and drops…. Thats how I use them at least… Dont use my mtb for touring cause its heavier and requires more maintainance
This is a gravel bike.
I can tell because mountain bikes
don’t have those stupid handlebars.
For that terrain a rigid/hardtail mtb
MTB
whatever you're riding you'll eventually wish for something else lol
MTB
Gravel…..
Im choosing gravel because im tired of flatbars
Tires ?
Mountain bike all day long
Both 🎉
Haha. Why is this even a question? Only an idiot would ride a gravel bike on terrain like that. 😅
Both are good for that. If you only do trails like that or more rugged go mtb, if you also do asphalt or dirt roads (or if you want to do long diatances) go gravel. If your pocket allows, both.
just need different rubber and you’re golden
If you are on the path with a stopwatch, a gravel bike is definitely better. But live is not allways about saving time and reaching gosld. As soon as you want to merge deeper into nature and prefer an active riding style, you cannot avoid the flat handlebar, even if it is just a totally rigid MTB with far tires.
Gravel Bike 100%
Thats a hybrid bike.
Thumbs up for road pedals 👌
put some grippier/wider tires on and gravel bike anyday
lol just get a mtb
42mm tires?? Buddy thats a road bike 😂
Gravel bike with air suspension fork are tuff🔥
Gravel if your terrains remain like that !
How you like the center semi slick in muddy and or rainy conditions looking at this exact tire
MTB.
I have both
Soon wel be seeing DH bikes with roadbars. And call it a gravel bike. 😂🎉
Gravel, if set up right
Gravel
I like the gravel bike but I went with the wider 650b tires on mine and let some air out. Better for trails with rocks and roots but slower on pavement.
Gravel bike and road spd's… Like a vegan burger…
gravels bikes are for roadies that think they're mountain bikers
