The 10 BEST Bikepacking Gravel Bikes of 2024

This was a HARD video to make as there are just so many great bike options! What bikes should have made my list, and why? 🤔

Here's a positive comment Alee: Thanks for the video!

Thanks for another well thought out, accurate & informative video. We all appreciate your hard work.

Another excellent Cyclingabout video! Thank you.

Great video. I always enjoy your well researched videos

Thank you for doing the research. It is beneficial.

I enjoy your videos. I will say in one category which is brakes. I have toured in many remote and a very long distance from services and I prefer cable disk brakes as you can repair in the field and is a simple system to maintain. I wish more bikepacking bikes came with this style or as an option.

Great video - thanks for sharing

Great video! 🚲

Nice round-up video. I personally wouldn't call 17 gear inches very low gearing, but I guess my legs are noodly and my bags too heavy. :) I'm looking forward to your video on bike packing bikes for more rugged terrain. I'm looking to buy a Tout terrain outback xplore but definitely open to other suggestions.

Fantastic video as always

Recently got the Merida Silex 7000 2 with a GRX 1x12 speed. I've been commuting on it (30min ride with large hills) and will be taking it on its first real long distance (125-140Km) next week.

Excellent and very useful!

Some interesting choices - thanks for not parroting the same old recommendations we get from the usual suspects. Thanks for this vid. Very interesting and quite useful

Pięknie! Zaciekawiły mnie koszyki na bidony - co to za modele?

Hello, thanks for the video :). One thing, I am always surprised to see the canyon grizl in the list of bikes for bikepacking. I had a canyon grail which is similar except for the tyre clearance, and if for sure it was an efficient bike, it was not comfortable bike. I now ride a chiru vagus with a higher stack on which I put a 70 mm stem so the reach ends up shorter than the canyon and honestly it's day and night in terms of comfort. I feel like the canyon is more a road bike with big tyres rather than a regular gravel

Curious to know why did you choose the Faran over the Secan? On a list of gravel bikes when the Secan is Fairlight´s former gravel bike, if I’m mistaken it’s the second time you chose the Faran, by the way I love my Secan 😎 and I’m tempted to order a Faran with wide 27.5 tires.

If you want something cheaper and more capable offroad get a used hardtail and then put a rigid fork, if you want to use a dropbar get a hardtail with a short top tube. I have 3 bikes right now, a hardtail, a rigid mtb, and a gravel bike. The rigid mtb is the best for gravel but if i have one bike to do it all i take my specialized diverge e5.

CO-Motion Cycles. I own three and they some of the best. Hand built frames in the USA. To your specs, and your drivetrain preference. The Divide model is a winner for example.

What about Merida Silex 700 or 7000 (version 2024)?
