I read on internet cycling forums that you literally was going to die if you go bikepacking on a full suspension bike. Well, I had the best bike ride ever this summer. 600 kilometer on my enduro MTB with some easy rolling tubeless xc tires, on mixed surfaces, even on asphalt. It was great, I will go bikepacking on that beast of a bike next summer also 🤗

for a poor bastard like me, owning only one bike (i ride an stupidly beaten Raleigh mojave 5.0 from 2015), and using it for every task (commuting, grocery shopping, biketravelling, dayriding, even a little bit of dirt jumping), a hardtail with front suspension is like a swiss army knife, useful even in flat terrain. i ride sometimes with some gravellers, and their machines are awesome, but everytime we hit a sandy-dusty segment of the trail my big tires make a real difference. and man it's getting dusty where i usually ride! and no, it hasn't have a name, nor gender. just my bike.

Trails around here ate my rear wheel yesterday, so your timing is impeccable. We dont have 'gravel' per se near me. Fire roads deeply rutted by winter rains, sandstone trail formations and stony creek crossings all are a bit much and I'm looking at an XC. But honestly I might be the person niner built the MCR 9 RDO for. You should test one if the opportunity arises.

For 5klm of wet clay, 5 klm of lumpy downhill - it was the perfect bike. The rest of the day = wrong bike. But some days you just don't know which way it's going to be. I have a Cervelo Soloist named "Han" I have Trek Checkpoint named "Dirty Rambler" I have an e-mtb named "Lance" (everyone always says I'm cheating when I'm on it) Thanks for all the content.

@@mikemazzantini6397 I wasnt slamming MTB tyres. Just my decision to use them on THIS particular ride. Im in Australia and "gravel" roads here can be as firm as pavement for 80% of the year but come winter they can be full of potholes and corrugations or be very much like soft wet clay. It had been raining so i went with the bigger tyes but disnt notice 18klm was on pavement. The wet clay and washouts were bad when I found them. But there was more roads that were still compacted. Are you riding a steel frame? If so, i can see how the 2.25s would help. I generally ride a full carbon drop-bar gravel bike with the "suspension" stem. Its very smooth and quick... usually.

What is the weight difference from the hardtail to your go to gravel bike? What about changing the tires on the HT to some light XC race tires or even gravel tires?

You could always throw on some drop bars and faster tires.. That would have been FUn!

Just for fun I mix and match bars, tires etc and just ride. Always fun. I ride mostly xc stuff on a hard tail that I call Skippy. I found his name finding rear wheel braking traction on downhill sections. We talk a lot on rides. Whoa Skippy, easy Skippy, c’mon Skippy get a grip 😂

1:31, I agree 1000%. That's actually how I've been naming my bikes. Humans names (unless it's already named like one, such as the Schwinn Madison) don't do it for me.

I used a gravel if over 70% of my route was on highways. And vice versa used mtb if 70% of my route was on mixed terrains.

Single track looks insanely dangerous to me. That’s why I’ll get a road-oriented bike though obviously a mountain bike is the most versatile
