The Velodroom Veldslag om Norg is a 100km MTB race but I decided to bring my gravel bike! The performance difference between a gravel bike and a mountain bike can be small in some situations but in this case it was massive! Was it the right choice for me to take the gravel bike? Or was it just the tire pressure that screw me over....

WHY I DID NOT STOP AND LET AIR OUT?? More guys asking the same question so I’m copy pasting some of the answer: I never know beforehand how much loose sand there is. So if there is one dry section in the beginning I don’t want to stop immediately to adjust because i will lose the group instantly. By the time you realize it maybe worth it you’re so far in the race… it may not be worth it anymore Besides that, the difficult thing is, when you do that you have no way to measure what you’re doing and you risk to let out too much. You will not find out until you are riding again and the tires roll off in the corners 🤪 Also it will cost time, so you wouldn’t want to do it on the key moments where the difference is made and the lead group is established. But, yes it’s definitely an option and could work out if you are lucky If it’s not a race with a group but an individual TT or just a casual ride you can stop straight away and will be more efficient and make up the time. But in a race with a group, the benifit from riding with the group is often so big, you don’t want to lose that by stopping… same reason we don’t stop at the feed stations or stop to piss! (Last year at Bartje200 I stopped to piss after 4 hours and I never saw the guys back!🤨)

You the man, Jasper. Awesome job. I think these days the question of which bike is right for the job really depends on the conditions. Foe what you dealt with, I think you would have been better off with a finer tire tread instead of knobs run at a lower pressure with the gravel bike. Watching CX races & the pros are on 32's only & using a herringbone tread for sand when its dry.

For a short races this gravel bike is a good choice. You have the answer. Wider tyres will give you better traction and confort. The weigh is not important when ther´s no big climbs. The most important thing is the confort. Less energy spend means you can go smooth and this means speed. Greetings from Mallorca.

Mostly high tyre pressure but also bike :). With MTB even with the same skinnish tyres you probably had felt much better in the soft sand and wasted less energy overall. And on the hard but pumpy surface suspension bike is so so much faster and comfier. MTB with relatively narrow handlebar and 2.2 inch tyres seems to be the best choice I guess.

Made a similar race on fatbikes with a friend, we lost to a light guy on a gravelbike, but all the MTBs were way behind. With these kind of speeds, yes the wheels are not aero, but they just hover over these small bumps and sand, without causing any disturbance or extra attention to the surface under you. Correct pressure is the key ;)

brilliant Jasper great footage and commentary. my thoughts are a hard trail mtb with 29/2.35 tyres would have required less effort through the terrain. the big differences I've noticed when riding aggressive mtb vs gravel bike are handle bar leverage (ability to fully commit to cornering), braking control and rapid gear selection. front suspension means less energy used. gravel bike is a compromise. weight is key my hard tail mtb is 9.5kg, my gravel bike the same. bar leverage a big factor for handling and allows more body dynamic on bike. great race you had fun dude.

I am curious about the gearing ratios on the MTBs as well as the general handlebar width, which is a little personal of course but with the trend to have super wide bars does it still make sense in a race situation like this. These guys are all ripping along on MTB s and gravel bikes, so aside from really great condition, how is their gear selection and bar size different than a traditional hard tail/cross country set up?

@@B.Mitchell not gear ratios, the mtb gear selection is a trigger system up on the bars compared to drop bars which have the levers on the drops, mtbs are designed for faster terrain changes so your hands are right at the triggers, where drop bars, not as accessible under fire - long movement for gear change. Wide bars, no not downhill wide, generally xc bars 700-780 mm width, well that's basic physics as more leverage gives more control, descending and dropping into corners, also allows greater body movement with the wider bar platform results in more ability to be one with terrain.

Nice video and great job, Jasper. Yes, I think stick w the gravel, get a little wider tires, and lower the pressure, can you swap in a suspension stem like the Redshift?

Probably could do that yes.

I think its funny how bikes have come full circle. A gravel bike is so much closer to the early mountain bikes from the 80s than a modern mountain bike is to their ancestors.
