A series of photos documenting what a rigid drop bar gravel bike running 48 thunderos with Cush cores has rolled through for those wondering what a gravel bike and a loose will to live can handle
Trick is to maintain speed and close your eyes if things get scary

Looks sus. Full sus.
Whenever I have to think about it, I remember: before suspension and social media, the bike you had was the only way.
Very weird 6th photo. You ride a transformer apparently
I’d also ride something like my fat bike in the same terrain and it would be mostly fine as well, all depends on what you’re comfortable with and want to “deal” with! You’re crazy!
this is basically every gravel trail i ride in the UK tbh, less “gravel” more singletrack
You can gravel anything with a thick enough chamois!
Looks like something I’d ride once to see how bad it is, then never again. The important thing is that you had fun… I don’t see any fun in these pictures. lol
Do you honestly enjoy this?
Ran into trails like this on wednesday this week. Was challenging but stopped being fun after sone kilometres, especially paired with some absolutely scary descents.
Would love to go again on a full-sus mtb and full face helmet. Not my cup of tea on a gravel setup
