If you go with the x you will save enough money to buy a 90’s mountain bike and put nice tires on it. Then you have everything but jumps and drops covered. I bought the x and just finished a long ride on pavement, dirt and a horse trail; perfect for that mix.
This video was soooo helpful!! Thank you!!
Well thought out and informative. Thank you.
The probably X makes more sense for the rail trail I spend most of my time on, but I love my Redwood's funky 'mountain bike with drop bars' vibe and the option to tackle more challenging singletrack than I would with a more road-ish gravel bike.
Well thought out and explained. Thanks.
Great video bro thanks
That diagram helped me make my decision, thank you !
Thanks for doing what you’re doing
First off... Love the channel. Great content!
Thank you for your review.
I did an awesome snowy gravel ride on my X today.
Great review my friend! Helped a lot!
how did you know i was having this conundrum today, eric?! thanks for the video
Excellent review - well beyond the standard types of comparison/analysis
My redwood shows up Tuesday. Not gonna lie, part of the reason I went with it over the x is that it looks cooler to me. I was also curious to see how the mechanical twin piston brakes would feel.
Thats a really good graphic for talking about bike capabilities. Ski industry uses something similar when comparing skis. Bike industry could totally adopt this. Maybe it has? I haven't seen it. Good stuff.
Great video I myself own the X 2021 version and support the team hardcore lol love the Redwood too will be getting their Triton from them soon hopefully no matter what bike anyone picks just owning any of these machines is a must. Got support the team lol
This is perhaps, the best video on not only the difference in the two Poseidon models, but what to look for in a bike that you will use, based on your individual riding style! I’m in my mid-60s, I can’t run like I used to, so I hike and bike, and wanted to get into bikepacking / accessing “out of the way” fly fishing/camping spots. So a year before I retired, I researched ad nauseam bike frame materials, tire technology, custom versus “off the floor”, etc. (I know my wife grew sick of my bicycle talk!). I finally settled on a high end bikepacking rig (rohloff, titanium) at a cost of ‘embarra$$ing’! The bike was originally designed as a single track MTB, and while the bike gets compliments everywhere I ride, I’m simply not comfortable riding it long miles. So now, realizing my foolishness at buying a bike I wasn’t able to sit on before purchase, I’m back to looking for a rig that better answers my ‘style’ of riding. Again, amigo, I appreciate this video….you’re communication style is top notch….you’re one sharp cat, brother!
Dreaming of a redwood. I have an old 23c road bike that still works fine. This would be my N+1 bike. Capable of almost everything I’d want to do and built for adventure.
Thank you for the comparison. BTW published reach and stack are entirely frame based. So fork, stem, etc, changes won’t change those frame numbers. Certainly those parts change rider fit.
