      @@bobbyferretti MTBs for mountains, gravel bikes for gravel. Gravel bikes are much faster and lighter, but when the rocks get too big a mountain bike is better (has more suspension and bigger tyres, both of which make it slower but more able to cope with larger obstacles ). Or when there are no rocks a road bike is best. All depends on what you ride.

      Agreed. I have a gravel bike, but would way rather ride my mountain bike on the side of a mountain. Gravel bikes are designed for putting down power and speed on gravel roads. They're a road bike for gravel roads instead of tarmac.
      With that being said this guy likes the challenge of riding his gravel bike on these trails, which is a different discipline than riding the right bike for the trail. I can see the appeal. If you get bored of riding a bike with suspension and want something more difficult.

    This is a great example of the evolution of suspension. Back in the old days, you had solid axle cars, then solid axle leaf sprung cars and then shock absorbers and coil springs. If you watch all 3 of these types of suspension systems work,over various on and off road testing, you'll see quite quickly the advantage of suspension. Ive been wanting a gravel bike for a little while, but when I see things like this I think, man a hard tail with a lockout on the front would give you the strongest versatility on and off road...

    Love the versatility. Commuting on the weekdays with more capacity for fun shortcuts. The tactile nature of riding mountain bike trails on a rigid bike. The capacity to tour on it.

    Well for that trail i'd want a mountain bike. Fast forward 10 years and the trend for "gravel bike" will (hopefully) face reality, taken with a grin. They are useful in unpaved -roads-.

      I don’t think so. Gravelbikes are going to evolve further and maybe get some sort of suspension. Mtbs nowadays are just too good for such easy trails. It almost doesn’t make fun anymore.

    Watching this just made me want a nice hardtail mountain bike. You are riding a mountain bike with no suspension, and it shows that you would benefit from a bit of suspension (@2:22, "I gotta take it a little easy").

    Gravel bike owner here… I use my gravel bike for commuting since my city has fucked up roads and dirt patches on the bike lanes with light gravel. Plus, for stability and comfort. Yeah it could handle mountain bike trails, but realistically, it sucks riding on actual rocks and stuff, feels like your bike is going to fall apart. Just get a mtb for all that. Makes your gravel bike last longer too.

    They must have a different idea of "efficient". Sitting at the campsite later on listening to them complain about their wrists and back just proves my point.
