What Is The Actual Weight Of The Ozark Trail Gravel Bike? #ozarktrail #gravelbike #budgetbike
I decided to weigh the Ozark trail Gravel bike at my local bike shop.
everyone is raving about the new Ozark Trail gravel bike it’s extremely cheap and anyone can buy it at Walmart but what does it weigh let’s head down to the local bike shop and see if we can use their scales mhm
I bought it, returned it. Heavy, poor brakes. So I bought and converted a Trek aluminum hybrid. I have $60 into it. I like it much better. IMO v-brakes are under loved. 2X the power of the ozark brakes. Ez to live with. Find a deal and build it yourself. It’s rewarding and you save big.
Weight is subjective because the “scale” is so large from all bikes in all ranges. Swapping a few items on a $250 bike and making it weigh 3lbs less is massive. The percentage of loss of weight and gain of value is 10x what “buying” a light bike is. Doesn’t mean it’s for everyone but from someone who’s had both ends of the spectrum, value will always outweigh flat out performance…Or everyone would fork up and buy a used Ferrari
Got to give Walmart credit. Love the direction they are going with with there bikes. Better components sized frames just exceptional value for the money. They are making biking affordable for the masses.
Don't pay attention to this fool. An aluminum gravel bike with a carbon fiber fork will save 4 or 5 lbs but cost 5x as much. And what are you gaining? 1mph increase in average speed?
If it is under 20 Lbs it’s gonna be expensive. I don’t mind a 40% increase in weight for a 95% reduction in price. Yes, like the others mentioned you can swap out the seat and make some minor changes and lose about 5 Lbs.

For people moaning about cable actuated disks, you can change the housing to compressionless for much better braking

You can save a lot by changing out the seatpost and converting to 1x
Remove the kickstand. Swap out the seat post. Get a lighter saddle. Convert it to 1x.
