Devinci Hatchet Sora G anyone? After spending months researching entry-level gravel bikes, I narrowed it down to the Journeyman and the Hatchet. The Hatchet won out and it's been an incredible bike so far.
Great information here, I wish I knew about all of these bikes before I dropped $3,500 on a Trek Domane SL6, it’s an awesome bike but I would’ve been just as happy spending half of that, nice job!
Everyone includes that bike in their top picks in this range. It must be something special. Wish it didn't use a press fit bb though. Still considering it myself.
Niner makes some excellent bikes but they seem a bit overpriced. Over 2 grand for a Tiagra spec seems a bit much. I often see bikes with 105, GRX-600, Rival or at the very least Apex 1 at that price point. So what do you get in return for taking on the lower level Tiagra, there must be a trade-off somewhere? And I hope to God it at least doesn't come with mechanical disc brakes.
Thanks for this useful overview although in all honesty the only way you can know if they are the "best" gravel bikes in the price range is by riding 'em. Maybe you have, in which case I apologise. The bar end shifters on the Haanjo are much simpler than brifters but still not fixable on the trail. The advantage is that most bar ends can be turned to friction shifting (but not the new Durace, sadly) if you bend a rear mech and/or hanger, which should get you to the nearest bike shop.
Hmmm. No Rocky Mountain Solo 30 or 50 in this lineup. I’ve been watching a lot of reviews on gravel bikes and the Solo is never mentioned - what gives? It seams like a very cable bike to me but is everything else that much better??
Anyone check out the Growler Session IPA? Interested in thoughts. Small company in Rochester, AL frame, carbon fork, 1x SRAM drivetrain, DT Swiss wheels, just around $2k depending which groupset you choose.
1800.00. Full GRX800. 2X10 DT SWiss wheels. Reynolds 853 butted frame. Ritchey components. I bought one from bikesdirect.com and it works great. Try to find these specs on another bike for under 4500.00
I just got a Checkpoint AL 3. Yes it's the base model but it's packed with awesomeness for the price. I love it
I just bought the Cannondale Topstone 105.

Marin DSX FS is cool and great value for the spec.
Thoughts on the trek chepoint alr5
Hi, please can you make a review about CUBE nuroad pro 2020
That 9’er though. How can an aluminum bike with a tiagra groupset, that costs over 2000$, be a smart choice?
Next video: *Best Gravel Bikes You Can Find in 2020*
Spoiler alert: NONE
Can you take a look at the Felt Broam 30?
Hi, great video. A little side note, the sequoia isn`t availaible anymore and the Canyon Crail has a pressed fit bb.
Yeah, good luck trying to get one of these bikes!!!

Beautiful collection , i missed The Nukeproff Digger. very sweet machine
As I rode the Canyon Grail AL 7.0 last weekend, I deeply fell in love with it. Making my great Rondo Ruut AL 2 a little jealous :) Great Overview!
Is it right to compare Canyon Grail AL7.0 and Rondo Ruut AL2? I think that Rondo Ruut AL1 is the right opponent :)
I really hope I can get my hands on the Canyon Grail this year!

The drivetrain is not the issue. Beware of crap wheels. I bought a n×rco thrshold. Broken spoke after 5 rides.

The niner has TIAGRA , external cables, Ugly welds

Then go for the Stevens Vapor Force. Seriously!
- Sram Force 1/11
- 7005 Aluminium Frame
- Fulcrum Wheel Set
- mudguard *and* rack eyelets

Get a Nukeproof Digger - slightly over 2k but a cracking bike.
Love this bike.. it is in my next list of bikes under $2500

Michael Cole that’s a shame as it’s a great bike.
Are gravel bikes comfy like endurance bikes?
Mariano Marieve Blanco even more I’d say

What was that silver / grey Kona in the video? I can't seem to find it on their site. Really nice looking in that color.
I think that is their earlier model kona rove back in 2018

What about the Renegade S2?
@cycletraveloverload what do you think about the ribble cgr SL ?
No comparison of weights. Some of those look to be quite heavy.
Sorry about that, will take note for next videos
Noob here. What’s 1x11?
No front derailleur, a single chain ring up front. 11 gears on the back.
what do think is the best road gravel bike
Road or gravel?
@@CycleTravelOverloadlete say 70 percent road I am a moutain biker getting rid of a road bike but want a bike to put miles on and some gravel rides
Scott speedster gravel 30 is a good 70% road and 30% gravel
Still looking? Stevens Vapor Force. Has eyelets and only weighs 8.7kgs
Nice bikes thank you
The diamondback is the only bike with proper gravel gearing.
Hi! great content, congrats! Can you make a review for CUBE NUROAD SL Titanium Orange 2020? Thanks in advance!

Giant revolt advanced, carbon frame, under 2k
You forgot the Felt Breed 30 which is GRX 600 awesome frame with loads of mounts and comes in 650b it is amazing. Love mine. 1x11
Bro, Marin X11 Gestalt
