The Fastest Gravel Bike In The World? NEW Ridley Kanzo Fast
Рет қаралды 269,511
3 жыл бұрынGravel cycling is a lot of fun regardless of what speed you're riding. But, despite this, everyone wants to cycle a little bit faster, don't they? Regardless of how fast you ride, aerodynamics play a huge part in speed - better aerodynamics let you ride your bike faster and further! With this in mind, Ridley have released the Ridley Kanzo Fast. Only 4 watts slower than their dedicated aero road bike, the Noah Fast, this might well be the fastest gravel bike in the world.

For saying things like "x 'Watts' faster" in public one should be banned from any public appearances for life! Even though power is a product of force multiplied by speed, speed is still measured in distance devided by time (meters per second or kilometers per hour)! "X Watts faster" is coming from the same idiots claiming "so aero, you save x seconds when going at x speed for one hour". No idea about basic science? Get a job in marketing.

As much as I admire real race mashines, the majority of everyday riders I think will have more usecase for an „all bike-path“ tarrain kind of bike, from commutes to weekend tour guys.

Next big minus IN MY OPINION is that you can’t choose it with two chainrings. All in all i think i go with the new 2021 Kanzo Fast. For me it’s better to have options in changing things...

Great channel, great videos! Quick question to which I cannot get a straight answer... if a gravel bike is a cross between a road bike and a mountain bike, what is a hybrid bike? I've been told countless times that a hybrid bike "isn't the coolest bike out there" because it's a cross between a road bike and a mountain bike, but a gravel bike is great because it's a cross between a road bike and a mountain bike. So... what is the difference between a gravel bike and a hybrid bike? My best guess is it seems that the hybrid bike is set up closer to a mountain bike, typically with a suspension front fork, often a suspension seat post, and MTB style straight handlebars. Where as a gravel bike seems set up closer to a road bike with a hardtail, stiff frame, and non-suspension front fork with drop style handlebars. Both seem to have 38 to 40mm tires that are somewhere in between road and mountain bikes tires. If that is correct, would a hybrid bike be a better choice for a rider that does 60% trails and 40% road... or even 70% to 30% trails vs asphalt?
@DEFKNIGHT 3 жыл бұрын
I guess it depends on the trails really. If they are rutted and the rocks are large or the trail particularly bumpy with roots and occasional drops and jumps, I'd say go for the hybrid. But if your trails are flat with rare obstacles like the former, I'd say go for the cross bike. As far as asphalt is concerned, the cross bike will obviously be quicker as there is no power loss due to squat and the cross bike will be much lighter as there aren't any extras like shocks and the like slowing you further with much higher weight and bad aero. I'd say the only benefit to the hybrid on the street is comfort, as well for the trails. But for speeds sake, I'd sacrifice comfort to that degree any day for speed. Plus you could always go bigger with tires and still be far lighter than a hybrid and gain a little extra comfort.

But no, I spend most of my time, this year, riding in the mountains, gorges, valleys and the plateau and descents above the eastern Range ( 1000 to 800 meter descents to the sea) Due to steep mountain sides, heavy seasonal monsoons and in years like this, many typhoons, the government has paved over most single lane forest and remote valley roads ( there are fire roads that are off limits... I need to organize some event rides!).. These are rough concrete pavers but after heavy rains the side roads often get washed over with sand/silt/clay/ gravel, after recent Typhoons, land slides would have required all but pro road bikes to push over .

This is the first gravel bike that looks good to me, but I still don't get gravel riding) I guess, I should try it prior to judging)) The problem is - I know for sure, that sitting position with road handlebar is less stable, than a normal flat bar, and you don't want to lose handling stability on a loose surface. And secondly, you can fit 28 inch road wheels with gravel tires to any mtb hardtail, even older 26 inch frames will take them. But I guess I'm overthinking it) Gravel has some style to it, for sure.

But a rider on an aero bike will be faster than the same rider on a non-aero bike, all else being equal. That's the real point. Another and perhaps more interesting point for slower riders is that slower riders will save more time on an aero-bike that fast riders over the same course.

Is the internally geared hub lossy? The Shimano’s I’ve ridden are noticeably draggy, like a light brake rub on all the time. If your geared hub goes a long gravelly way from home, you’re SOL. So reliability better be solid.

An electronic version of an old idea, planetary hub plus derailleur. Even now, you can get a Sturmey-Archer three speed hub that will thread on a 9 speed cassette. Maybe I should do that with my drop bar 3-speed.
