For a non poseidon employee you have quite a good perspective. I have been researching gravel bikes for a year, this is a very useful video. None of the big manufacturer (trek, cannd, spec, giant) are going to help with an evaluation of competition that undercuts their prices. Your casual approach and realism are appreciated. If I buy either one, I will give you further response.
I've been impatiently waiting for this side by side comparison! Thank you!
Great video! It was really informative and well done.
Great detailed stuff man sorry i missed it live
Nice comparison. I think you could run 2x on the Redwood if you use the the right downtube spot for a shift cable instead of a dropper post.
I ran tubeless on the stock rims as well with some 42mm pathfinder pros and been shredding the Santa Monica mountains with no issues so far.
which bike do you have? im looking to run tubeless with stock rims on my 2021 poseidon x.
Rob S I have the 2020 Poseidon x. You should have no problems.
@@bluestarboy52 fasho, ima try that out. been saving for some wtb's looking to run 45s
Thank you so much. I've been wondering your thoughts on the subject since Eric launched the redwood. I've been planning on financing a big boy bike (disc brakes) for a while and the X was top of the list. Shit, I still don't know hahaha.
On the X with the Advent X groupset they are tektro md-c510
Very knowledgeable, thanks
This is a really helpful video
I’m glad I could help
i've been looking for this comparison. Awesome that you have it.
I really wanted the poseidon x more than the redwood, sadly they don't have one with XS size which kinda annoying.
So i'd like to ask your experience on this. I know Poseidon X runs with a 700c x 40, while Redwood runs a 650bx2.3in tires.
I want to know what if both bikes have the same 700cx40 setup.
Can the poseidon redwood compete in speed on the road against the Poseidon X?
Coz Redwood seems to be my only option at the moment for sizing concerns.
Great comparison!
Keep up the amazing! work you are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brandon Tyrrell thanks so much!
Can’t decide which to get. New to cycling. Haven’t rode a bike since I was 17 years old and I’m 48. Probably mostly street riding, but would like to hit some trails. Like the look of the redwood, but may be too sluggish on the road. Also like the pass through axle, and the tubeless option. Maybe the redwood with a road tire 2nd set?
Sounds like you have an 80/20 thing going on with the road to trails. In that case, go with the X. The other way around, with the Redwood. The speed difference on the roads will matter a lot and the lighter weight of the X will help a lot with the constant acceleration cycles on the streets making it more suitable. Redwood's extra heft and beefy tires are a necessity for rougher trails that become a liability on the road.
700 views and 100 likes or dislikes when I watched. Come on people! He's doing this full time now! Show him some love!
Kelly Mckenzie thanks so much! Yea I’m trying to pump out a ton of quality content
The dislikes might not be so high if he would sit on his hands.
Man, I almost always miss the livestream. Did it start at 5?
Ryan Witt yea haha
How would the Redwood on the road with a different set of tires?
It be like improve its rollling resistance like any other gravel bike with slicks, I would recommend going with large volume so you don’t drop the bb to much so , 700 by 40c or 650 with some 2.0 or 2.2 slicks
Hi there. I need a bike but i do not know what type should it be. I sold my Trek 3900. It was a mountain bike. Then gravel bikes had my attention but those are prety expensive. What should i buy for all year round commuting ? It should be suitable for rear rack and mud guards. Can you give me a brand and model? Max 1000$ topstone 4 vs poseidon x
I offer this bike consult service you can DM me on Instagram cause there’s a lot of questions and info I like to know to help you pic.
@@LockedinCycling i am using only Facebook. It is a pity.
@@mertsagcan yea can message me on that too I have a Facebook links in description
What free hubs come on the X and Redwood
Standard shimano
Whether you have thru-axle or QR, neither is the actual axle. They provide clamping force on the dropouts, and that's all. The actual axle is in the wheel hub. Road racers and MTBers used QR for decades without issue, and they're still perfectly fine.
Poseidon X wheel spec: yes
So a mtb would like the redwood better?
If you want a more mtb feel to the bike then yes
No 2x is a deal breaker
6160?
Tim Tours Tempe I meant 6061
Posiden X how good is it!
I have a fulll review on it and a build series
@@LockedinCycling according to bike insights, the x has the more upright 1.65 ratio stack to reach ratio, redwood has the more aggressive 1.49 stack to reach ratio..size xl for both.
@@thatoneguy2756 weird felt like the opposite to me when I tested both bikes
@@LockedinCycling May I ask what size x and redwood you spent time on? I ask because the geometry changes a bit on my size (XL)
@@thatoneguy2756 large for both
