Gravel Recommendation?
(lemmy.world)
I’ve been on a trek checkpoint and it’s been nothing short of fantastic.
this is probably my favorite gravel though sometimes i like to mix it up with some chunkier stuff
I’ve been on a specialized diverge alloy for 2 years and about 2000 miles through every type of terrain imaginable and it rides strong. Never had a single issue. Pathfinder pro tires will likely be a good bet if you’re mixing gravel and road. My next bike will absolutely be a diverge.
I’d go 1x with a big cassette in the back if there are hills/mountains where you live. The new sram mullet drivetrains are rad.
I'd second the diverge. I ride a base e5 with the pathfinder pros. I usually am just riding on the street but it's a great feeling bike and I like that I can take it out for some light trail action if I ever feel like it. Usually, I'm just happy to be riding. Maybe I'll get around to changing it to a 1x.
The Priority Apollo is a great all-rounder gravel bike that is super low maintenance with a Shimano Alfine 11 internally geared hub and Gates carbon belt drive. It won’t be the fastest on the road but handles all terrains well. My personal riding experience with the Apollo is a combination of paved, dirt and light gravel and it’s easily handled all three. Purchasing is online only but the Priority team is very knowledgeable and quick to respond to any questions you may have about features, sizing, concerns, etc.
