I like the set up on my Crux Expert with a 42T front chainring

[@cb4602]

Longest ceramic speed advertisement yet. Great work

[@jamesrowe4861]

I’m personally getting really tired of KZbinr’s/influencers just being paid advertisers now!! What happened to them getting into it for their creative side. I know it doesn’t exist anymore. I reckon the question they ask themselves each morning when they wake up is, what can I get for free today!! 🤦‍♂️

[@DoctorVinnieBoombatz]

I'm just going to wait until another 8 months when he picks the next ultimate, do-it-all gravel bike that's better than the Fray.

[@_cpdchua]

True lol 😂

[@evdb7246]

100%. First it was the crux that was the best and could ‘do it all’…then the Aspero….and now this one. Through it all, kept up the cringe vibe in all the videos.

[@christophertan3195]

uhh cuz the Fray is new? He updates when new models come out

[@DoctorVinnieBoombatz]

@@christophertan3195 Updates? You mean makes volumes of content dedicated to how one bike is the be-all-end-all of bikes for over two years?

[@vinnym8632]

I hate to say it, but I’m worse than him. On my 10th full bespoke bike/build in 8 years in search of my own version of perfection

[@kestralrider313]

I've had my Fray for about a month and I love it. My dirt has been light so far as I'm running a 29/31 tire setup, but plan to get a second wheelset with 35-38mm light gravel. The Fray replaces a previous "all road" bike and I too find myself choosing that bike or bike category as my first choice more and more, even if I think I'm going to be on the road. I love taking it to Tahoe, doing long road rides for myself, then a little trail riding with my son, all on one bike. The MTBers all seemed impressed at what one I do on a pair of 32mm slick gravel kings, like running the Flume Trail there. I look forward to seeing what else you do on your Fray, I think it is the future of road bikes for those of us who don't race anymore, but still want that zippy speed of a race but with a bit more comfort and tire dable in dirt or drop into a road pothole.

[@JoelWhite]

$1833 for the Ceramic Speed products is a crazy number.

[@SuperDodoe]

Wonder how much time he spent putting this ad together

[@MarinGiot]

Nice, had the same idea to build a crux used as a fast road/light gravel bike. The build should have ultegra 12s, rapide cockpit and enve 4.5 wheels with 40mm hutchinson caracal tyres. However without all those ceramicspeed upgrades that are too expensive for the gain they offer and maintenance they require

[@richardbrown837]

Building mine right now, excited to get on it.

[@juliocampos8416]

The Force with the cameo.

[@TheDiegis]

I’m building a Melee now definitely will consider this optimizations!

[@B_KFC_Leg]

So the Terra speed tyres are fast enough for your road group ride? 🤔

[@_cpdchua]

700 bucks for OSPW is diabolical 🤡

[@carlosflanders518]

Bro logic. Pay more means you can feel the speed. Utter twaddle. Bearing ball material is about 10-20% of drag. Ceramic reduces this by a few %. Minimal seals and very light grease make far more difference and ensure lower lifetime and increased maintenance.

[@jonathandubel4829]

Hmmm…..$2000 bucks for 10 watts? Love the bike but I’ll stick with an extra keto shot for my Saturday slam fest. Good products no doubt though

[@paulbergren]

Why not both?!

[@brennansquad]

2020 3T racemax GRx di2 2x with some Enve g23, 35mm tires. Does anything from all-pro Boulder gravel group rides with alexey to hammering up to 10,500 ft at Brainard lake. Goated with the dim sauce

[@adrienmoniquet]

Do you wait the next 13 speed sram xplr?

[@Monty41-f6h]

How would you rate this compared to the Colnago c68 gravel? Similar tyre clearance.

[@outdoorbros_]

Little bit less tire clearance with the Fray and the C68 felt a little more tuned for gravel.

[@BikeLife154]

For the price of all those components I’d willingly lose those 10 watts and put the money towards another bike. 10 watts is nothing unless you’re racing.

[@defiancecycling]

I'll stick with Nova Ride products for less than 1/2 cost of CS. Same 4 warranty and made in France. Those along with a waxed chain are slick. Oh, check out the upcoming Fifty One bikes SIKA.

[@outdoorbros_]

Was the Sika around at Sea Otter? I believe I saw it- beautiful bike.

[@petersouthernboy6327]

Unless you can convince me that Ceramicspeed bearings have lower spike energy traces versus Chris King, DT Swiss CINC, or NTN bearings - I call BS.

[@satttheman]

I have a 23 Crux. Haven’t rode it much lately, as I have 3 other road bikes. Have about 3k on the Crux since building it but only 50mi gravel. Like the idea of have a Gravel bike in the stable but it’s not getting used. Was supposed to do Unbound 200 didn’t happen. Planning for next years. Was thinking about letting it go to build up a Fray as dual purpose. Hoping it’s faster on-road than the Crux. But would I lose a lot off-road? What are you thoughts?

[@OnThePeriphery]

I like this channel, but maybe I’m a damn weirdo…I had a $ gravel bike for a year and just didn’t get the appeal of it or the idea of a do-it-all bike. I just recently had a Melee built, and the thought of modifying it for gravel or trying to make a Fray faster on the road seems even more silly. Going slower, getting dirtier, and being anxious about laying a five-figure carbon bike down on loose rocks? Don’t get it. And not once while riding fast on roads do i ever think, “I wish I could explore some light gravel right about now.”

[@outdoorbros_]

Bummer! I think it’s a nice break from riding on roads with traffic.

[@OnThePeriphery]

Living in rural VA, we don’t have to worry too much about excessive traffic. I do enjoy the conversations around bike categories, trends, etc, and appreciate your observations and opinions on the subject.

[@billystutz55]

Have you done any climbing with it yet??

[@frienduro24]

How is ENVE doing financially? They were hurting then just sold…

[@outdoorbros_]

Not sure! Seems like they had a good Tour this year.

[@jakemoya-mendez2488]

I'm very interested in the Fray and need some guidance here. I have a Cervelo Aspero that's been my all around bike for 2 years, but I recently snagged a Time ADHX 45 and built it up as a mullet for gravel duty. It's awesome and does everything I need there. I also have a Tarmac SL7 that I built up for road, but I find that I don't ride it as much as the gravel bike. I'm thinking of selling the Tarmac and the Aspero to build up a 2x Fray build that can replace both and handle some gravel and road. From your video this seems like the Fray is perfect for this, but I'm curious how close it gets to replacing the Tarmac or slotting in to handle gravel like the Aspero? Thanks!

[@cb4602]

I had an Aspero 5 grx 2x and Replace my Factor Ostro with Enve Fray. Not much difference between Aspero and Fray running the same wheels. Biggest difference in Factor vs Fray is geo. Factor is faster especially at speed mainly do to lower stack.

[@SupremeMARR]

Please show the bike more next vid.

[@SuperDodoe]

this was a ceramic speed commercial

[@rg807]

Great review/ commercial- but their pricing is simply stupid. It reminds me of $30K speaker cables, and no, you can't feel/hear the difference with those either.

[@SuperDodoe]

What?!?! $1500 c'mon...you didnt pay for that swag.

[@jaxgunz]

Getting killed in the comments ☠️

[@jhands1988]

😂😂 at best all those ceramic speed parts save a watt or 2, at worst they worse than stock yet this guy can feel the difference while riding over dirt.

[@GrouEEf]

Dude, dislike for just over doing the advertisement. I understand it's part of the game, but don't stretch it so far.

[@kubackjeee]

Lmao bro stop this shameless shill. Only thing you can feel is a waxed chain, that's all. For sure not the bb or ospw lol

[@RyonBeachner]
