  • A question older than time itself, which is faster? A road bike on the road, or a mountain bike off-road? To find out we went to Snowdonia National Park with the new Garmin Edge 530 and Edge 830. Will the more direct off-road route be faster than the longer but smoother road route? Watch now to find out!
    In association with Garmin.

    The objective; find some welsh cakes before racing to a picturesque picnic spot underneath a waterfall. The riders; are our very own Neil Donoghue, and the contender, Hank from GCN. The routes (planned with Komoot); Neil will be taking on a 16-mile off-road point to point, stopping off to get welsh cakes on his way to the waterfall; Hank will have 34 miles to cover, picking up the welsh cakes before doubling back on himself to get to the finish. The new Garmins feature MTB Dynamics, technology that measures your airtime, the difficulty of your ride, and rider skill (known as Grit and Flow). Rider-to-rider messaging will help Hank and Neil let each other know when they’ve secured their Welsh cakes. The live track feature will let them know if they need to get a move on!

      guys maybe someday you can do a collab edit that gcn, gtn, embn and gmbn can work out. try all discipline and immerse into the differences, maybe blake will enjoy clipless pedals, skinny tires and lycra. and take the gtn and gcn guys to an epic climb and blast down some fire roads. Si wouldnt be surprised as he do some xc but the other guys might enjoy.

      @Bob Ferguson: I think it would give GCN just more of an advantage: most of them either have a competitive MTB past (Dan, Si) or they have MTBs or gravel bikes at home now. They don't *just* ride road strictly! Whereas I somehow doubt that Blake or Neil are often donning lycra and a 7kg road bike... 😁

    • @FutureMark809
      @FutureMark809 5 лет назад +4

      Perhaps, but GMBN had to follow the Garmin where as GCN were just riding on a road. That is s big advantage as you are less likely to have a navigational delay. Much of of the off road track would have been difficult to follow without a navigational (Garmin) device.

      @i,m a horse MTB is for offroad adventures or for really streets or for paths and the main aim of it is to have fun while making some little jumps and bumping over stuff.
      The road bike is for streets and there it is of course way faster than a MTB. The fun about road biking is going fast, descending and even going uphill as fast as you can and pushing your limits. Both can be lots of fun and you can choose what you like more? I like the road bike more because I like going fast and pushing me. But the decesion is yours :)

    When I first got into cylcing a little over a year ago, I got my first bike, and it was a roadbike. I loved it, but then had a few accidents, always in some traffic, road-construction, flats harder to fix, and you better not fall off the bike because you hit a pothole or braked too hard, you have to take the next trip to the bikeshop or go online to get new sets of expensive lycras.
    Drivers trying to run over you, some literally trying to kill you. You have to hold traffic many times, inhale fumes plus while busy riding those miles you rarely put you head up to enjoy the view, you have to plant your head in that aero position sweriving to avoid potholes in other to get KOMs and beat records. Basically all you see is the asphalt. Don't get me wrong, the speed is intoxicating and I believe cycling is still cycling regardless if it's a fixie, a bmw, recubent,dirt,hybrid,cruiser,unicycle, downhill,trail,enduro,XC or whatever the fuck you want to ride.
    I will say, the riskiest one is the roadie, the fact that I have to stick with diesel engines and can't do shit is a nuttjob decides to stop his car in front of me for no reason. MTB fullsuspension on the other hand is pure freedom, I might not be as fast as a roadie on the road but, I don't want to, I do a mixture of everything. I switch between semislick and trail tires depending on where I am riding. The fact that I can hop out of traffic to join pedestrians and later take someone's backyard and pop out of other side of the road is what I call fun and freedom mixed in one. And nature, lord have mercy! the green grass, the snow in winter, the mountains, lakes, streams, rivers, caves, bridges. I am sorry to say guys, MTB is addictive. It got to a stage, I have had my car for over 10years and not planing on buying a car anytime soon. Will I ride my roadie again, hell yeah, but, I know it's not a priority anymore.
    Ohh did I mention I ride in rain, snow and muddiest of the muds, downhill tracks? you can only dream of that on a roadie in a billion years, those ever changing landscape is another thing entirely.

It's like entering another world, while road biking, while basically riding in the same area, is a lot of asphalt and cars. Keep up the great work.

      And I very much doubt he drafted behind the camera car all the time: that would be cheating and unsportsmanlike. Now, if *Dan* were the roadbiker in question... But then they would prominently feature his cheating in the video, so it'd be obvious it wasn't a fair comparison!
