Gravel Bike vs Road Bike - What's The Difference? GCN's Epic Gravel Ride
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
What can a gravel bike do that a road bike can't? Click here to subscribe to GCN: http://gcn.eu/SubscribeToGCN Gravel bikes - they've got bigger tyres, disc brakes and a bit more stability built in. But how does that translate when it comes to tackling some off-road terrain? And can it's skinny-tyred road bike brother keep up when the path gets rough? We went for an epic gravel ride, putting the new Ridley X-Trail up against Dan's road bike to find out some answers!

is it possible to use the Ridley x-trail for pure cyclocross?
-
city riding, I'd much rather have a gravel bike, and I think a mountain bike would be best

I think I want a gravel bike

Difference between a Gravel Bike and a Cyclo-Cross Bike?

. i'd like to see options availible to buy heavier carbon frames for gravel/cyclocross/hybrid bike frames built using thicker layers of carbon to give 2kg-2.8kg frame weight and stronger frames for pannier racks. heavier thicker layer carbon forks also 900 grams.

Ok, So Road bikes are different from both Gravel and CC bikes; how different are CC from Gravel bikes? How much more effective than any Rigid 29" MTB?

Anyone know what the tune is at 5'20? :-)

I notice that the tire tread is much more aggressive on the sides, presumably to make cornering easier. If you're going up a slippery hill, do you ever lean the bike over so those knobs can dig in?

I got a specialized diverge and I'm so happy with it :) It's robust, It's fast and I could even convert it into a touring bike :)

he said 100 PSI on 28's. I run my 23's at 80-85 in case of potholes.... to get some idea of who I am, I'm 5'5, 130 pounds, 46 inch aluminum road frame

what's the difference between a cyclocross bike and a gravel bike?

Gravel = cx ?
Seems pretty much like "650 vs 27.5" -
where's the roadside garbage (us.)/ rubbish? this was definitely not recorded in the roadside garbage nightmare capital California. I hate riding here.
-
This looks really fun!!! Should I sell my road bike to get one of these? XD
-
This is one of the reasons i love my hybrid, everyone says it's worse than a road and a mtb but it's the other way around, hybrid is faster than mtb on road and faster than road bike off-road.
However it will get the pants kicked if it by a gravel bike or cyclocross either way as they do the same jobs but better. -
another fantastic video !!! thanks

Ну нихуясе какие у вас шикарные дороги.

Looks like torture on any of those bikes.
