- Took my Orro Terra C on a proper ride over different terrains and wonder, is this is the only bike I need?

Thanks for the vid. Was looking for a gravel bike, and have just ordered the Terra C 105 Di2 based on your review.
Excellent choice, hope it works out well for you.
The bike seems like a good all rounder for what you ride, i don't think it would do all for me though 🤣 glad to hear beacon bikes are bouncing back, now there's a real muddy cyclist at the end 😃👍
Definitely not suitable for you, you'd break it!
Great to see you back up and running (cycling). Keep em comin 😄
Thanks 🙏
I have the exact same bike, just over 1 year old and love it. Upgraded the wheels last month for a pair of Hunt carbon wheels running the same tyres tubeless, 40 psi front and 50 psi rear, I’m 105kg. The old wheels now have 32c road tyres for the odd bit of road riding when needs must.
I’m going to get a set of slicks for road biking trip coming up, don’t think I can afford new wheels just yet though
For mixed surface and gravel rides I run tubeless 35 front and 40 back with those wheels and tyres. I'm 88kg for reference. Play around with it but the lowest you can get away with is the most comfortable. Another great vid 👌
I weigh 85k and run the same pressures.
Cheers Darren, good tips 👍
Would tou say this bike is a distinct upgrade from your ADV 8.9? What would you ascribe the main difference to? Frame design?
If you could only have one bike, then definitely it’s the one bike for everything.
If you have tubes, run those tyres at about 40psi. 30-35psi tubeless
You may well be right. Thanks for the pressure tips, will give them a go.
I'm thinking of the Terra C for my next bike. I'd like to not end up with two bikes, so I'm considering the Terra C and also a road wheelset for swapping out for club runs.
That may well work, as long as your off road riding isn't too extreme
@@themuddycyclist An update a year later, I've just ordered the 12 speed 105 version. Keeping my current road wheelset to swap in and out with the gravel wheels!
@@MarkProvan Nice update, hope you enjoy it, I'm sure you will
Hi, dont suppose you have a GpX file for this route? Cheers
All my rides are on Strava, there’s a link in the description
Wherebaouts on he Downs Link is that water tap?
The water tap is actually on the South Downs Way, just off the Downs Link at the bottom of Truleigh Hill
Hi there Muddy. Can I please ask how tall you are and what size you are riding? many thanks!
I'm 5'11, smidge under perhaps. I'm riding a medium. Shop told me I could have maybe squeezed onto a small but my seat post was right on the limit so stuck with a medium.
@@themuddycyclist Thanks for that! It helps a lot.
Just had my first ride on my own Terra C.. - After I replaced the saddle it was truly amazing, comfortable but fast! Thanks for the info! It could indeed be 1 bike to rule them all.
@@JamesTaylor-lt9jq Excellent, what size did you go for in the end? The saddle is probably the thing I would upgrade first.
Nice video glad youve ridden this on an orro im coming down there on mine soon is this a route youd recommend? Cheers and keep em coming
Cheers, yes it was a good route, the bike handled it just fine.
Are you tubeless yet? 40psi give or take 5psi, depending on your weight and conditions. Most people I ride with are around these pressures. Tyres can transform the ride as well.
No I'm still on tubes. Bit reluctant to change as have a road ride trip coming up and want to swap the tyres. Is a bit of a faff keep setting up tubeless, so may wait.
The weight difference is probably why the climbing is better!
Will certainly help, and the stiffer frame.
The only do all bike is the mtb 😋
I used to think that, but gravel bikes are making me rethink.
@@themuddycyclist thinking.. you don't wanna be thinking, get into all sorts of trouble thinking.
You will be faster on a gravel bike than a MTB on dry tracks
However a MTB will absolutely whoop a gravel bike on wet tracks.
Both have their merits just depends on riding conditions.
No doubt, but it's nice to have a bike that can do different terrains on the same ride.
