Please do a video talking through top-5 bikes in men's and women's. If you can't get interviews with so many riders, just using the winner's photos for the talk part will suffice!
Because we're really hoping for one of the brands to launch a home mechanic friendly, high quality, durable 1x/2x 10 speed groupset. It might be considered socially responsible, environmentally friendly and prove popular with casual cyclists. I actually think that it'll be Microsoft, L-Twoo or Sensah that achieves this because SRAM, Shimano and Campag are stuck on a path of hydraulics/electronics and necklace width chains.
GRX is 2x hydraulic. I've yet to master hydraulics. Also it's £500 for a groupset, 4x the cost of L-Twoo or Sensah without the many 1x chainring/cassette options they offer.
Dear SRAM, You can add gears if you will also make your shifters able to work with any amount of gears. Its just software. You do not even have to design new stuff and I would finally hop on board. If you won't do it, then I hope Sensah, Ltwoo, Wheeltop, or Shimano make an electronic group that will. Cost is not a reason I have not jumped on board. I just want compatibility. Sincerely, A CX/XC nerd and UCI level privateer who has not seen you make a real effort to improve the cycling world for the masses since the mid to late 2010s
I've been holding out for wireless Ekar for my next road bike build but it looks like Sram may beat them to it. I love Ekar on my Litespeed gravel bike and I want to build up a Time ADH with 1X as well.
It’s a Marketing ploy for SRam, factory goals is to make money as much as they could, it’s a dramatic entry kinda tease to the [ublic, and as a tubers it’s kinda nice to discuss the enigma of it. 2 yrs from now they’ll be a bargain at eBay coz there is another update coming using the same tactics… I’ll wait till they become 20 cheaper than the original price. 😅
Get rid of that nonsense of a new groupset every month.a And that junk is getting more and more expensive, I don't understand why people keep buying this junk. People who cannot afford it suffer because older groups are no longer made and therefore no longer available. We're all getting screwed by all those big brands. disgusting that's what it is
You do realise that without new stuff companys cannot make money and without making money they cannot operate. Maybe time to get a job instead of ranting.
@@antoinedoinell I race in the SouthEast US - fairly flat terrain. On courses that are really technical or steep you’ll see some racers opt for XC MTB’s. Personally, I run SRAM AXS 2x on a Giant Revolt. If you stand up to climb a gravel hill you’re asking for trouble.
What is your favourite bike from Unbound 2024?
That Rose Backroad FF actually, please do a review, preferably with GRX 2x12 Di2?

The new Revolt
The thing I liked the most from gravel events is the mix of parts an all the frankenbikes you can see
Why do you guys click on new gear videos just to complain about new gear that you're never gonna buy?

@@andrewblakesley4202 Shimano hydraulic brakes are pretty damn easy to install, even easier to maintain. Very happy with my GRX810 groupset.

Just to see you all twisted. 😂

Considering this is 13spd and uses the same shifters as 12spd road red, I recon it can be changed in the software.

Lachlan ran a 29 x 2.1 Terreno Dry up front.
He was a stud at Unbound.

It’s possible 13 speed only works with eagle size, to clear the spokes. Like how MTb cassettes fit 11 speed on a 10 speed hub
The ridley looks like the new grifn rs? Very much already released and the same 42mm clearance
Love your channel! ❤❤
UDH makes your current gravel frame set obsolete, nice one SRAM 😂
I like new tech. Hopefully Shimano feels some fire.
Not enough speeds...
wake me up when we have 1 x 20
You said course record despite but it was probably because.
Wider is faster on gravel.
lol I’m still using 10speed on my bikes
That Canyon looked as though it had been ridden through a cement factory. Should the riders be wearing dust masks?
The "domain" road bike? I think it's pronounced doh-MAH-nee (Domane)

The next shi. nobody needs
But they seem to sell plenty of it. Tiagra for you.
@@petersouthernboy6327 What about Tiagra Yankee?
Ah SRAM...back with their tech business model to milk their fan boys every step of the way
They are a one stop shop for 1x. Most gravel racers I see here in the US use it.
@@petersouthernboy6327 i reckon more gravel racers will go 2x

Unbound never wasn't even standing next to the tour de france.
