Gravel bikes are the best thing to happen to dropbar bikes in decades. There, I said it.
ROAD CC LOST ALL CREDIBILITY…suggesting Shimano is better than SRAM for gravel…what a F’n joke
One main requirement that the handlebars are adjustable to sit higher than my seat – still looking
6000 pounds is mid range? 😂
won't buy a bike with cable headset routing. talking to you specialized & canyon.
Can't speak to the other bikes here, but the Vielo V+1 is the most grin inducing bike I've ever ridden. And yes, it's super snappy, too. It's a shame they don't have the marketing budget of certain other brands 'cause they deserve to be on more peoples radar.
I may be wrong but does it seem ridiculous that a bike made of Reynolds Steel (made in Birmingham), the frame is actually manufactured in Taiwan. As cyclists shouldn’t we be considering our carbon footprint and also considering brands like Pashley & Cotic who are creating gravel bikes entirely manufactured (other than accessories) in the UK
What about Calibre Lost lad? Good value bike?
I just bought the new MEC Provincial Trail 1. Not sure you can get them in the UK, Im in Canada. It had everything I wanted!! Gull Shimano Cues, WTB wheels and tires with 45mm and room for 50mm, mounting points EVERYWHERE.
Silliness at it's absolute best , , sheep people just need to think about ? How daft am I !! Road bike – TT bike – Hill climbing bike – Track bike – Cyclo-cross bike – Downhill bike – Gravel bike – Hardtail bike – Full Suspension bike – Steel bike
Titanium bike – Alloy bike – Carbon bike – Winter bike – Tandem bike -Tricycle bike – Mono bike – Ebike – Training bike – Racing bike – Touring bike – Criterium bike – Pursuit bike – City bike – Butcher bike 😂😂😂Baa-baa !!😮🤔🤨😣🤐😄🤫Guys, seriously. What about CUBE? They blow the competition out of the water in every price category. Take the C:62 One with carbon frame and GRX 1×12 for 1999 euro. If you do not include that in your "Best Gravel Bikes…" compilation, what is your compilation worth then? Furthermore, Chinese offers. I am not talking about some no-name frame off Aliexpress, but established brands like X-Lab, Evolve, Tavelo or Yoeleo. They all destroy most of the brands you cover in your video in terms of value for money. The new Cima frame from evolve is almost as light as the Specialized Crux frame, for thousands of dollars or euros or sterling less.
When did you film this video lol, Crux 5 been around for a while 😂
The Vielo V+1 Race is a lot of bike for the money? I wouldn't call it a bargain at all. Granted, it isn't over priced, but it isn't a great deal either. I did check them out and they have a colorway that I fell in love with, but the tire clearance isn't what I'm looking for. I'll just stick with my Cannondale over that.
For E gravel, look for Megamo Along with Dji Avinox motor, OMG!!!
Гоночный велосипед с багажником в трубе рамы. Дичь какая
Meanwhile in the US, Walmart just started selling the Ozark Trail G.2 Rebel gravel bike for $648, thru axles, Tektro mechanical disc brakes and Microshift Sword 1×10 with 40t chain ring and 11-48 cassette, square taper BB but it only is available in small size. Best deal in the US if you 60-66 inches tall.
I don’t understand….why are they showing the old Crux if the vids only 24 hours old ??
Fail review… No Salsa Cutthroat…
British reviewers reviewing bikes in UK. Are they RHD or LHD 😊
Is there such a thing as an endurance gravel bike? If so, which specific bikes come under this category?
The new BMC kaius is a ripper and cheaper than the new crux! It is a winner for me
If it has shimano on, it is already not a good option…
Cube? Best price performance ratio?
I’ve been looking at gravel bikes to do some gravel riding but also to replace the 35 year old bike I use for touring(1992Fisher Procaliber). I need rack mounts and the ability to carry 30lbs of kit in panniers. 90% on paved roads. Prefer something a bit lighter with racks than my current set up (32lbs). What would be best?
