I like "gravel" bikes. I don't know why. They're uncomfortable to ride for a long period of time on singletrack. They're terrifying when descending fast on chunky terrain. The climbing ratio sucks on mine, but this one seems to have addressed that. yay. It's kind of like people who enjoy riding a klunker in modern times. Is it necessary? No. Is it smart? Probably not. But is it fun? For some reason it is. I think it's the weird thrill of "whyyyy am I doing this! I might die!" While your teeth are chattering as you descend at what feels like blistering speeds. So, I'm here for this kind of bike, and I know the heart and soul that went into developing this thing too. I'm glad to see it finally arrived.
