And here I'm with my Marin Gestalt for 1/4th of the cheapest one. Fitted 43mm knobby tires and have fun anywhere I go. Not as fast on the road as TCR my friend has but a lot faster anywhere else, because he don't want to go offroad with his Carbon bike.
LOL none of them affordable
Where is BMC Roadmachine X ?
Merida ftw!
£2.3k for the cheapest? Nuts to that.
The emphasis he put into saying the Lauf is "excellent value for money" at 4.5k!!! What planet are these people on 🤦♂️
My checkpoint is great on both surfaces
allroad bike is the best！
nice feature. wanna know what brand/model of mudguard was on fairlight? TIA
Strange selection. What makes a bike versatile and adaptable to the greatest extend?
a) widest possible tire clearance for gravel and muddy environment. These require longer chainstays. So a flip chip makes the characteristics of the bike adaptable to a more nervous road race bike like experience. A gravel bike combined with two sets of wheels (or at least tires) ist the most versatile setting.
b) height of the bottom bracket. Low is optimal for gravelling on wide tires. But if it is too low you will enconter problems when cornering on thinner aero tires. According to my experience: Cube Nuroad is fine, Cannondale Topstone is too low.
c) in frame storage and mounting points for various degrees of bike packing options vs. aero penalty.
I'd appreciate if you would rank the bikes according to criteria like these.
Trek Domane / Checkmate best bikes in this category are left out?
süße Rennräder!
Why don't any Planet X or Ribble bikes make these lists of yours? Some of the best all road/gravel bikes out there, especially Planet X
I own a Roubaix. I do more gravel riding on it than I did on my previous gravel bike (a Giant Revolt). The future shock makes it a lot more forgiving on rough surfaces.
I have an SL8 Roubaix which I love-but I also have a Planet X Ti Tempest which is my gravel bike and my winter road bike with a change of wheels-it’s heavier than the Roubaix but pretty much indestructible.
The 105 12s mechanical on the Roubaix Sport might not be the fanciest groupset but it's really versatile for an all road bike. The front derailleur clears 42mm tire and the rear can take (unofficially) a 11-40 cassette. So have a Roubaix, a road wheel set with 11-34 and a gravel wheel set with 11-40 and you have 2 bikes in one with decent gearing for both disciplines. If I have to point out one drawback, it could be the lack of clutch on the rear derailleur but it's not really a big deal.
Y r roadies so anti suspension??? U guys must love hitting harsh roads and potholes with broken wrist. A little bit of suspension is safer especially if ur not paying attention to the road for whatever reason. If i didnt have a redshift while i accidentally hit a pothole i would've crashed. All that happened was a poped rear innertube. So it also saved my front tube probably.
From extensive experience with the Roubaix Future Shock is a massive winner…did you actually ride it??
Err…..sonder colibri should be on this list, its Ti, its in the lower end of the price range you have here and its a joy to ride on and off road with space for 36mm tyres.
Until you use your bike every day in all weathers you don’t realise how important full mudguards are. Fair play to the Fairlight for having dedicated mounting points. The others are essentially dry weather bikes.
Cervelo Aspero all day!
BMC Roadmachine?
I own the Roubaix SL8 and love it. Probably not the fastest road bike but is still fast and comfortable. And yes the Future Shock system works well!
