That's definitely harder than it looks folks. Respect. 2023 version of Yoann riding a cyclocross bike down A-Line and Dirt Merchant.

FWIW, the Chamois Hagar is a a rigid mountain bike with drop bars. all the geo is mountain bike.

Not really the right tool for the job but that dude is a friggin shredder. Definitely demonstrates the capabilities of that bike and tbh if I were looking for a gravel bike Evil's just made the short list.

I had no idea they made gravel bikes and I'm now looking at the bike on their website. I guess this means the advert worked

From Evil's website "we also saw the huge dollar signs in gravel which could fund the development of other ridiculous projects like a beer-powered jet ski."

I have a capable, slacked out gravel bike that I take on trails that it has no business going on and I can definitely contend it is fun but very, very difficult. The hand pump is so hardcore it is difficult to just hold on sometimes and short ride destroys your body. There is a reason suspension was invented. This guy is a shredder!

This is exactly how we would "mountain bike" in the 80's when all we had to ride was our dad's Ross 10spd road bike. We would take it off road - ripping anything we could get air off of and hanging on for dear life. Glad to see that trend come full circle.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Who makes the rules 'right bike, wrong bike". They dont know shit, this dude is just riding a bike, and doing it better than others on soft bikes.

everytime i'm on my CX bike and goes to trail but I don't feel limited by the rigide frame/fork but geo and narrow tyre. some of you are true here gravelbike is oldschool mtbs! props to evil for this such a damn bike

So sweet, new school gravel bikes look the boy.
Just picked up an old school CX bike with rim brakes, rode it in the wet today, turns tame reds into scary beasts and you have to commit compared to shredding a Nomad with 2.4" tyres on!
Boy on an E-bike said I was mad... Riding tame reds on a 50lb EEB is way more mad haha (would love an EEB but got too many bikes as it is).

this is literally what I think of when people ask me to build them a super light weight gravel bike that they are going to "shred"...

I was checking this bike last week but on the site it's currently sold out, is thete going to be a restock? Frameset option will do for me and a cup of those mad skills from the video..

I poached the Sea Otter Classic dirt jump comp many years ago on a road bike. I did swap the bars out, and put some cyclocross tires on, but the rest stayed. I definitely would fold in half if I attempted the same now that I'm 40.

@counterpoint: A year or two before I did a beach cruiser and a kids 16” wheel bike.

I think it's kinda lame when gravel bikes are portrayed as mountain bikes in ads. That's not really why we ride gravel. I got my SB130 for getting sendy and my gravel bike for crushing miles...
