Another fun adventure out cycling, thanks for sharing !! I’m usually watching your videos while I’m on riding on my Trek Domane on my trainer inside.

Awesome route that! Send it over and we'll add it onto our local gravel routes blog :)

[@Shaunscrawford]

Looks awesome think I’ll steal this route too and give it a whirl 🎉🎉🎉

[@wherespinto]

Jealous thats a proper gravel route looks absolutely epic 🤙

[@quentinpollard5173]

Another excellent video, you are getting better with each upload. Keep up the good work and stay consistent, thanks so much for taking the time to create content for me to enjoy.

Amazing video mate. I'm currently riding a 2023 TREK Supercaliber 9.8 XT and have done up to 45 miles combines between gravel, trails and pavement with it but I'm considering getting a Domane SL7 Gen 4 for those long rides days. I love my Supercaliber but I also love long rides and that's way I'm considering getting a Domane as well. I also have a TREK Procaliber 9.6 which is now the bike I have on my TACX NEO 2T and Zwift combo :)

[@HiplokBikeLocks]

Love it 🤙

[@thewattlife]

Good to see you riding hard boi

[@CyclingwithRuss]

Great video mate. Shows just how versatile the Domane is. Going to find some Gravel tyres now 🙂

[@benjaminlechappers]

😂 new you would

[@MattyBrad]

Looks like a James Jobber(Upshift) route to me?

[@malcontent_1]

All those non-road roads look great. You're fortunate to live near diverse terrain like that. (Q: why do you tilt your computer away from yourself??)

[@benjaminlechappers]

Yes super lucky. Computer. Because of light glare.

@@benjaminlechappers gotcha, never understood why those screens don't have a matte coating

Another awesome video @benjaminlechappers. Looks like a brilliant route. Good to hear your review of the Domane on gravel. I just bought the Domane SL 5 and was hoping it would be good on gravel as well as the road. Tried the Checkpoint but didn’t like the geometry so went for the Domane instead. When summer rolls around down here in New Zealand I’ll have to give it a try on gravel. Thanks again!

Hey Ben I love your videos and your attitude towards biking. Its so engaging. I got a midrange gravel bike but i am constantly thinking about the domane bike. Since i am more on the road than on gravel, but do like it, would you say the domane is the perfect bike for such endevours? If so, which version would you prefer from a price/performance standpoint? Thanks!

[@benjaminlechappers]

Glad you like them! I’ve just put a out a video regarding the Road performance. I don’t think there’s many other bikes that could perform as well on both.

[@99cya]

@@benjaminlechappers would you also say the same about the 2019 version with isospeed back & front? the bike gets way over 10kg. would you say its still agile and also good on climbs?

[@user-og6bw8nr2j]

@benjaminlechappers Hi, have you experienced any creaking with the seatpost mechanism?

[@benjaminlechappers]

In the early days

[@tonigravelgrial]

The wheels are 650 or 700, so a tire of 40??

[@benjaminlechappers]

700c 40
