I have a Genesis impact 3.9 MTB, and it has a pretty wide handlebar (70cm) which is roughly level with my saddle. I have completed a 4 day 400km trip with this bike and it was fine, but now i'am planning a 4 month trip in europe. I'm afraid it won't be comfortable on such a long journey.
What do you think? Should i get a narrower, higher handlebar?
Is a gravel bike really a game changer? Should i get one for the trip?
