Great breakdown man. Really appreciate people like you who do the heavy lifting for folks looking to get out there and ride but don’t know where to start! Hope you enjoy making these because they’re sure great to watch.
Hey mate! Thanks for this!! Just reading this makes it worth it.. I really do love making these vids and hope that it helps someone..
Oi mate, I just watched like 15 gravel bike videos, and yours is far and away the best video of them all. No idea what these other video makers are doing but damn, thanks for this. Extremely helpful.
Thanks for making this video! I loved that you explained your criteria and calculations. It's like a master class on building an adventure bike.
Wow. Thanks for this service to the community! I just got a Redwood and I love it. I’m trying some 2.8s set up tubeless next week.
It’s also really easy to drop weight on this bike. Some have lost 3 pounds by going with lighter tubeless tires.
Hey Corey!! thanks for watching mate.. Amazing stuff I so want to get this bike... Let us know how everything goes with the 2.8" tires..
@@CycleTravelOverload just put on the 2.8s. Specialized Fasttrak grid on the stock wheelset with gorilla tape and orange seal endurance. They fit!!! But just barely. I would advise a 2.6 if you expect any mud at all. I’ll leave them as long as I can. I may switch the rear out and use these as the next two front tires.
Very informative review. Especially on the Poseidon bikes.
May want to consider the entry-level Dew (without the Plus). It's cheaper, comes with a 22/36 in the front, which together with the 11-34 8-speed delivers gear ratios between 17" low and 86" high. The 8 speed 11-34 cassette is lighter, cheaper and probably wears slower than the 11-4x solutions on the other bikes. Altus parts not fancy, but do work, and again cheap to replace. Mechanical discs easy and cheap to maintain. Same frame and fork as on the "Plus", same number of bosses. Biggest drawback is low top end speed when you're not hauling gear.
I bought a Marin Nicasio plus and couldn't be happier for general riding for commuting to work. Feels solid as F and you can be unintentionally rough with it.
Awesome info- thanks!
I picked up a Fuji Jari 2.1 early this year for gravel and touring and it was the best money I ever spent. Absolutely love it.
Nice.. How much did you end up paying?
@@CycleTravelOverload well that's the thing it was 1 thousand 7 hundred so it was over the 1 thousand. But geez it's a beautiful smooth ride. I have a stap on orbleib handle bar bag on it. Put a Brooks b17 cut out saddle on it an a front Topeak lowrider with two smaller orbleib pannier bags and a rear Topeak 10 saddle bag. It's an awesome set up.
Great choices for criteria!
I purchased my Poseidon Redwood when they first came out in 2020. I've logged thousands of miles and upgraded along the way as I learn what suits my riding style. The Redwood is a fantastic value. The comfort and capability is unmatched unless you want to spend thousands more. The customer service is incredible too!
Did you upgrade the brakes or the thru axel?
Very useful video, Thanks
I am trying to get into gravel/road biking. The marrin nicasio plus is the one I'm dying to buy but its a bit more and further down your list. Is it objectively any better of a bike than the poseidon x, redwood or 4130? I'm very attracted to the durability of steel
Great video mate. Love seeing these budget options for people that can't afford top end gear.
Are Posiedon bikes available in Australia?
Thanks! I believe you can buy them just have to pay for shipping from states. So not really available in Aus as far as I know.. I am looking to by the Redwood and just eat the shipping cost..
@@CycleTravelOverload fair enough. So many nice bikes that aren't really available in Aus.
@@CycleTravelOverload have you purchased the bike, mate? We are in about the same region, and it will cost me more than the bike itself (MSRP).. 🤣🤣🤣 still considering other options
good information, just a little more of b-roll of bikes, would been perfect, thanku so much.
Hello there
What about the canyon's bike? Like the roadlite (5-6-7)?
Nice video glad my bike made number one! I’ve had my redwood for a couple years now and love it, mine feels pretty light with the carbon fork. I also swapped out the full steel cassette for microshift lighter half aluminum option. I would reccomend it as a good adventure do it all bike it’s all I ride now other than the fat bike in winter time. Also just recently swapped from the 650b to a 700cx40 setup because I ride the road a lot
your redwood has a carbon fork?
@@Vaynxe yea it’s an option when ordering the bike, I bought mine lightly used anyway but already had the carbon fork upgrade.

It would be cool if you did an update video for the under 2k category.
Can you get the Poseidon redwood in Australia? Kenn as mustard but the exchange rate and shipping makes it way more expensive than the other featured bikes
Sweet channel, just found you. Just subbed.
Hey likewise .. just subbed to you :)
2 years with the state 6000 miles , 9 bikepacking trips and still my go to bike , and changed everything expect the frame, i cant let it go, guess cause of the steel frame. and thats ok.
The Posiden x is probably the most interesting to me. I'm not really looking to do bike packing and want something more pavement/road focused not really looking for wide tier support. I already have a hardtail and full sus mountain bike but nothing in the road category.
I have an X. It will go almost anywhere the old rigid 90’s mtb would go, but it is so much faster and more efficient that I end up riding a lot farther. Anywhere you don’t need suspension the X is fun to ride.
If you include the XC MTB, it will rate perfect.
Take a look to blacksnow frame and bicycle they around for a decade and they are amazing
Hey. What stack/reach ratio calculator did u use?
Remember you made the surly more like a gravel bike, was it almost as good? I picked up 2nd hand fuji touring but want to go on and off track so may do similar
It worked out okay but limited tire clearance. Made for some rough riding on more off-road terrains which ended up being limiting..
Awesome graphic. You have video on bikes under 2k and I hope that is very similar to this one
Working on this one
So refreshing to see real budget bikes, so many videos are sponsored by the big names and budgets of $3000+
How do these compare to the giant toughroad
posiden redwood for me as has an ok price for components & good wheel clearance
Great value bike!
I have a Kona Dew plus and it’s great on gravel, dirt, and road. Really comfortable posturing and control with the flat bar.
I'm considering the dew as well, I have 1 question though. Is it fast enough on the road? Do you feel the need to upgrade the crankset from 36 to 38 or 40 for more speed?
I find it's pretty sluggish on the road and you definitely feel the weight of it on hills.
I wonder where the new Adventure X would come in on this list?
I am working on a new video for 2024 :)
The buzz on this one is good. I got to get a gravel by mid-year but trying not to overspend, or die riding it. Microshift Sword is the group on it. @@CycleTravelOverload
What do you think about the new 2023 Poseidon Ambition X?
Hey I am hoping to partner with Poseidon to get my hands on some of their bikes for you guys.
Hey! Just got done writing an article comparing all the Poseidon gravel bike models, hopefully it helps : cycletraveloverload.com/poseidon-x-vs-redwood-poseidon-gravel-bike-battle/
Spent about 500 miles on it and so far so good. czcams.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA Pros:1. Very light2. Solid quality build3. Fast delivery: It arrived 5 weeks earlier than expected.4. Easy assemblyJust a few cons but nothing major:1. Cheap tin tubes and had flat on first day... but not a big deal. I replaced the tubes.2. Seat is a bit uncomfortable but that's pretty much the same situation with most bikes.3. Seat post is a bit long/high for a smaller size 48 bike - had to saw 2 inch off to fit properly. The lowest setting is too high. The post locking system does not seem to hold well (perhaps because I saw 2 inch off).4. wheels are not tubeless compatible (from what I can tell)
Whats your opinion on the Poseidon Ambition X?
Hey I am talking with Poseidon to potentially get my hands on some of their bikes to test and review.
Hey! I just wrote this article comparing the three Poseidon gravel bike models if you want to check it out, hopefully it helps : cycletraveloverload.com/poseidon-x-vs-redwood-poseidon-gravel-bike-battle/
Keren kak.... Mantap.. 👍
Thanks
How about Merida Silex 400 and Marin Muirwoods?
The Merida Silex 400 is a nice bike but i think its around $2k? Actually the Muirwoods is a great flat bar gravel bike choice just under $1k i believe .. it was featured as one of the best flat bar gravel bikes in this list : cycletraveloverload.com/best-flat-bar-gravel-bikes/#6-marin-muirwoods
@@CycleTravelOverload Thank you for the info! You have a very nice blog. Keep it up!
28 lbs seems heavy even for steel. If only wabi made multi gear bikes with more mounting points.
nice boaks
Marin four corners is under 1000 pounds here in uk
I hear they are good bikes but a little over that $1k .. but if you can get it under 1000 pounds it might be worth considering..
I do not like 2 things about 4 corners. 1) Dirailleur hanger is integrated into frame and can't be changed 2) "TOPTUBE EFFECTIVE" is too long, its ok if handlebar is set high but can't set it lower and use racing position on it.
To ship the Poseidon X to Europe costs 400$...
Budget bikes are nice but when you see the bikes with the better components its hard to choose the budget one. Its like seeing a car you really like but would never buy it with hubcaps it will always have alloy wheels , which is crazy how much different it is with aloyys instead of hubcaps
The cable pull disk brakes give me the heebie-jeebies
Some of these "adventure" bikes you suggest would need new brakes 100% no way around it no possible way you could safely navigate a trail with any elevation, rocks, or sharp turns without addressing the brake issues. poor brakes calipers plus cheap cable housing that will compress render a few of these unridable...even as rail trail cruisers. clearly have not ridden these bikes I sure hope people do some research first, flat bar brakes are pretty cheap but for drop bars can really get expensive.... so expensive you could have moved way up the line and gotten good brakes and some better spec parts as well.
I would never buy a new State with their policy of voiding the warranty if you build it yourself. Goofy policy.
Which dollars are you talking about?
USD
@@codeyorgill Ta, it seemed to good to be true if AUD
@@robbaskerville253 no worries mate :)
Doesn’t matter what bike it is… every video says any kind of bike is entry level…
Jokes on me listening to the majority of your video thinking these bikes were available in Australia 😒
Hey! Stop using other people’s photos/videos without permission!
More info on the DSX 1 and 2 would of been ideal, you really skipped out on such great bikes, thru axle front and rear, Carbon fork, progressive geometry, dropper post capability, internal cable routing, 11 or 12 speed Deore drivetrain!! Great Tire clearance!! Hydraulic brakes!! And weight is 24-25 pounds, I mean the bike is Beast!!! Smh.. otherwise great video. Keep it up👍
