@@gregknipe8772 I think that characterizing titanium as a status symbol ignores the fact that it's an excellent material for bicycles, significantly superior to steel along several criteria. Steel is more economical so that should be the answer's focus here. Depicting titanium as a status symbol is not only unfair, but it may be ignorant.
I have both bikes and recommend them highly. The Apollo 11 is great if you live on a dirt road and want to ride a roadbike for the superior physical development putting yourself in that cheetah like ergonmic stance provides. After years of not riding a roadbike because of living on a dirt road now I can ride from my house to get to the pavement where the bulk of my riding is spent. No more sand in the drive train for an early drive train death nor greasey times spent cleaning the bloody chain. If you are fat and live in steep hills the lowest gear on the Apollo may not be low enough for you - until you are in shape that is. Also there is no indicator as to what gear of the 11 speeds you are in, so you have to count clicks from either the bottom or top of the range, I'm finding it does not matter going by peddle rpms and feel. The 600 is great with panniers along with the 'pizza delivery' 22 pound capacity front rack Prioity offers. I put a black front basket on top of it and there is room behind the basket to tuck rolled up jumpers of rain gear, You could tour on the 600. I use it as a car replacement into town shopping, library post office etc. Buy both if you can afford it. The low maintenance is simply marvelous.
Drop bar the 600 & I'm sold. I have a Trek 920 I absolutely love & for some reason they stopped making them. I'd love the 920 geometry with the 600 drivetrain. Think the 600 will be a huge contender for my next rig, unless you come up with a drop bar with the the complete drivetrain.
@@gregknipe8772 sure, but the added cost and hassle of finding a set of drop bar brakes and 1x shifter that works with the Pinion gearbox basically precludes that.
I definitely will order a 600X if the Standover of small size is less than 29”. I am a short guy, my inseam is around 29” so it would be uncomfortable to ride even with small size ;(. I really like the bike.
I like your bikes and am considering one for my spouse for touring. However, at 4:20, you said, "and there really aren't options out there on the market for bikes that have drop bar brake shift levers... and super reliable Gates belt systems." That's not true (eg Tout Terrain Blueridge Xplore GT).
Hey there, thanks for reaching out and checking out our bicycles. It's true that there are nowhere near as many drop bar belt options as chain ones. Tout Terrain makes great bicycles. There are some differences, however. Our Gemini will be in stock this month available for order out of the box. From what I understand through their site, the Blueridge is being ordered through a configurator at a higher price point. Choose what's best for you! Obviously we are biased, haha. Our goal is to deliver best value, great features, and simplicity - with great customer service. If you have any product questions, feel free to holler at info@prioritybicycles.com. Thanks again.
I like bikes but I am not in love enough to pay $3000... I understand the new tech might cost big bucks but hey what's up with the rest of the bike??? I don't see why the rest of the bike cost $2000 ...
Our adventure bikes are the best value for the price! There are other options for other features and brands- both higher and lower in price out there. We’ve worked hard to offer great bikes and a real value with great customer service.
my Handlebars are loose they keep moving side to side with my wheel staying still. I tightened down the 2 Allen screws on the side of neck But it's still loose How can I tighten it without stripping the screws
Eddie is my fave RUclipsr!!!
Ryan is mine👍
Just purchased the 600. Love the bike!
I love all of these bikes! Can we make the 600x in titanium? 😘
the point of this company is to make economical simple durable bikes. not status symbols.

Sounds like that bike is made for you.
I love to see Apollo with the pinion gearbox (perfect bike for me).
Check out the Gemini!

put whatever bar you want on any bike you want. or I guess, ask someone to do it for you ?

We have the gemini now!

You need to sell these bikes in Brazil. We don't have anything like the 600.
That’s what need for a winter commuting… I meant P600.
I need a stand over that is 27”.

Like the 600, but would never buy it in black. And it has mostly Chinese knockoff parts on it.

@@mikehittle4649 That's why I'm rebuilding an old MTB I have. Built in 92 and all chrome molly tubing. Installing an Enviolo hub on it.
@@mikehittle4649 is that on the 600 ?
Complete crap on every level.
