Lovely bike. Yes, I think there is a place for the go-everywhere bike in a cyclists stable. As a winter training or cyclocross and any season gravel - you should have lots of fun with this. Keep on peddaling!!
That top down perspective with the 360 cam is seriously cool! That bike looks fun. Personally, I enjoy doing road training on the gravel bike. It's naturally a bit slower, so you can get more training done on less distance, or do longer intervals on a set climb. It's more comfortable, so it doesn't quite aggravate the ol' CTS as much. And of course you always have the option to just pretty much ride anywhere. Fancy a different way home or wanna dodge traffic? You're set. See a way or road you've never noticed before but have no idea where and how it's gonna go? Just explore. In my experience, there's one thing almost all people who hate on gravel bikes have in common: They don't own a gravel bike.
It's a perfect bike if you like to go out and ride and don't care about what others think about what you ride (i.e. if you're a fully grown adult). That place looks epic, BTW.
Looks gorgeous, and for the one bike concept, almost perfect. If it was my one bike I'd like the option to add racks or luggage, so less of a race bike. But as a bike for flying on the trails it looks great.
I think allroad bikes are brilliant! I´ve got a Salsa Warroad with three different wheelsets that does everything for me from road riding to CX/Gravel to light XC (with the 650B x 47c wheels set up tubeless). Plus it has all the mounts for bikepacking.
Great video and bike.👍 Just bought a gravel bike myself, love it. I came over to road cycling from MTB. I began exploring gravel singletrack and twin track on an old CX bike that I had, but my new gravel bike seems a lot more suited to gravel and road. Also on Schwalbe One Bite tyres, at 45mm. So many more options to mix my rides up when riding local.
You make an important point by showing where you're riding it. Having such networks of smooth unpaved trails means such a bike makes sense. Whe I am we have good quality paved roads, and also rough offroad, but not much in between. So middle-gound kind of bike make little sense here, but where you are it looks pretty good. 👍
Nice Machine… but help thinking that this is setup for a gravel championship? Where’s the gravel when you almost running a road bike? Sorry not familiar with course surfaces… will it be a 60:40 split?
Looks like the perfect setup :) I dont like the big flares and wide handlebar..its not really comfortable imho and analog GRX just works no matter what. I have campa EKAR on my wilier and i dont like it (13 speed difficult to adjust), My other cx have SRAM rival and its cheaper, but just works Good luck with the event Chris 🙂
Definately has to be said that the Pusium Sat Allroad is one good looking bike there. Agree that the colour is a really a big plus point and even though I did think that yellow of the previous model stood out nicely the blue definately does blend in a bit more. Just super annoying that Shimano go and release a new 12 speed GRX groupset after you this model is released! Perhaps the 2024 model will be 12 speed. I notice that other gravel riders have gone for either a suspension stem or the short travel gravel suspension forks which are being produced by Suntour/Fox/RockShox would you consider ever going down that route? Do you think that would ever consider doing a UCI series Gravel event?! Hope you don't mind but just wanted to ask how your health is going at the moment... just after your update a month or so ago... hoping progress is being made.
the way it is setup is almost like a cyclo-cross bike. so I do not fully understand the gravel bike was invented, if there were already cc bikes around. despite that 90% of gravel bikes I see are driven on the road anyway. and about 90% of what people ride off-road I could do with my street bike as well
