The ultimate dual-purpose bike: Which gravel bikes also shine on the road?

Which gravel bike is the best to use as a road bike? It depends - but going with a bike that has a relatively steeper head tube and a wide gear range is a good place to start. Another way to look at it is considering which endurance/allroad bike works best as a gravel bike. I talk to recently crowned US gravel champ Brennan Wertz for his thoughts on the matter, as he won the pro title on an allroad bike. -- Silca wax additives (save 10% with code 'theride'): https://silca.cc/collections/wax-lubricants/products/performance-chips Feedback Cassette Pliers: https://feedbacksports.com/collections/bike-tools-and-tool-kits/products/cassette-pliers?variant=44803543662890 Feedback BB & Locking Tool: https://feedbacksports.com/collections/bike-tools-and-tool-kits/products/bottom-bracket-lockring-tool?variant=44723966935338 -- The Ride is supported in 2024 by: Castelli clothing: http://tinyurl.com/43k6pftp Perc Coffee: https://tinyurl.com/etzyekwr (save 15% with code 'ride15') Giro helmets: http://tinyurl.com/72svzzxp Silca maintenance: https://bit.ly/47xxvzj (save 10% with code 'theride') First Endurance nutrition: https://bit.ly/41SDgqq (save 20% with code 'THERIDE') Shimano shoes & glasses: http://tinyurl.com/ye274tep Feedback Sports stands & tools: https://bit.ly/3S9Dq8r -- 0:00 intro 1:23 head tube angle 2:24 gearing 4:04 your location 5:00 how to switch 7:23 gravel bikes I like 8:27 bikes to avoid 9:11 allroad bikes I like 11:29 Brennan Wertz 18:15 conclusions
