๐ฒ **FUSTLE LAKELANDER: FIRST RIDE & IMPRESSIONS**
Come along as I take the brand new Fustle Lakelander carbon gravel bike through its paces in this exclusive first look. This isn’t a comprehensive review, but rather my initial thoughts with Northern Ireland’s newest homegrown cycling innovation.
The Lakelander represents Fustle’s exciting evolution in carbon frame technology, delivering a fresh experience that complements their existing Causeway model. Throughout this video, I share my candid thoughts on who this bike serves best, how it performs across varying terrain, and what sets it apart in today’s competitive gravel market.
I’m also delighted to offer viewers an exclusive 5% discount with code “connormc” at the following link – https://tinyurl.com/yejvk6hx – valid on all Fustle products, including both the new Lakelander and Causeway models.

Having had the pleasure of riding the Lakelander (very short spin though) myself I was super impressed. That wee linkage is class really works on absorbing the bumps.
Great video. Loved the hint of sarcasm on the caliper fairing, 'it's going to save me half a watt'. ๐
p.s. It would be great if you could do a proper test on a gravel event or two on this bike.๐
Great summary of the bike. Looks the business. Could really do with one for racing the Gralloch but I darenโt sneak another bike into the garage! ๐ The causeway will do the job.
