Salsa Cycles Presents: Why Gravel?

Why do you ride gravel? There are no wrong answers. For our latest film, we rode along with four gravel riders to collect their thoughts. Maybe their reasons align with yours, or will add appreciation and inspiration for riding the roads fewer people see.

I love this! I've been graveling since April of 2019 (biking at various times throughout life). Thank you for all participants in the video! Graveling is awesome experience, many things to see and enjoy, and can't wait until Spring!

"Gravel" is a nice overall word and includes the flat gravel roads in this video. But for me ,it includes the gnarley downhill sandy ,rocky jeep roads mixed in with hard areas you hunt for since the bike can be fully loaded for camping. Then a Sunday put put on a firm but rutty dirt road not far from home. Then back onto pavement again. I've been riding my Salsa Fargo for a few years with some cool tours under my bottom. Yet I keep saying ....' I LOVE this bike ' ! Gravel means the bike will do anything, solo or with other riders !

Love my Cutthroat, tried but failed to get a Timberjack for the past two years in France, please send some to French Resellers Salsa 🥰

[@Adventuregirl96]

Hope you get a Timberjack. I have one and use it more for MTB and just love it, while I use a Journeyer for more of a gravel or road ride.

@@Adventuregirl96 so lucky, Salsa bikes are hard to find in the EU, I searched for 6 months before being able to order a Cutthroat 😅 What's your Timberjack model ?

[@Adventuregirl96]

@@Jean-jk4zv I built mine from the frame. But it is similar to the XT model, so It has XT brakes, shifters, and rear derailer. It also has components from E*thirteen, DT Swiss, and PNW Components.

@00:40 be careful when attaching something on the fork whit a single hook, it can rotate and go straight through your front wheel... 😅

[@jayswavely6371]

Not my thing but I want to like it.

[@roddinandracin1153]

Loving these little mini movies or whatever ya'll call them, guess I really don't need an actual gravel bike to go to a gravel event?

[@ems0001]

Do I need to wear lycra to ride gravel 🙂

Been riding gravel for over 40 years… Yes that’s right 40… I’ve yet to see any fat black girls out on the gravel…Nice pander… Just not very realistic…

[@CareFreeCommuting]

She looked real to me and forty years of riding but still haven’t ridden off giving off bad vibes to others…🙏

[@DrewPeabawls]

Something does not exist just because you have not seen it.

Fat bike is only true gravel

[@gernblanston358]

Fat bikes are for riding in the snow and for fat people
