Next big trend is going to be gravel bikes with flat bars for more stability and comfort. Probably up the travel on the fork as well...

dropper post and suspension....meh... I'm at a point where either it's fast rolling and you want a normal fast gravel bike, or it's rocky and you want a hardtail or a full sus. This seems to be another in-between... I've already got 3 bikes, no thanks 🤣

Soon Road Bikes will also get suspension.

And Why Not !

Manufacturers don't want to give us everything in one go.

Also .... that fork looks back to front .....

As an avid gravel rider it would be good to hear your thoughts .... even better, would be very good to get your feedback after a long ride on it.

Just another New bike model Giant probably won’t have available until the next trend of gravel bikes are out (My bet is that aero gravel will be the new style, think giant propel with clearance for 42mm tires)

Speaking of propel the MY23 propels are not available yet in most markets 🙄
