For gravel racing, but not for everyone else. This is a good example of the rift between what race types like and what most people want which is a gravel bike that can also double as a decent road bike. A bike like the new Canyon Grail is the future.
A couple of years ago I replaced my XC hardtail frame with a full suspension one. Later I realized I could use a lot of spare parts I had laying arround to build a new bike, to use as a backup. It's similar as the one on the video, but with the dropper post, actuated with the left lever. It became my favorite bike.
While I like the thought and customisation that has gone into the choices for this bike, it is built for long distance gravel racing, and is not what the typical rider wants out of their gravel bike.
I have to admit, I converted my Niner Air 9 RDO to a drop bar gravel bike and I absolutely love it. It’s not fast, but that’s the riders fault. I m constantly amazed how much I appreciate the suspension fork, but LOOOOVE the tire clearance.
Do we know what length stem he is running on the BMC twostroke? I'm building the exact same bike except with a carbon geometry specific fork, sized down from my usual medium frame to small however the reach is still 425 so was thinking a 50mm stem. Seems he is using something longer
do you have a favourite bike from part 2?
The hard tail is perfection.
That Colnago...
Ulrich‘s BMC! 🔥
That hardtail with dropbar is perfect example of what future gravel bike will be
Won’t roll fast enough outside highly technical terrain

Nahhh…just for ultra or touring

Thank you so much for the great coverage of The Traka.
Ulrich‘s hardtail by BMC is such a brillant and versatile bike. This guy is ahead of the game.
Thanks! We absolutely loved being a part of The Traka, getting to meet all the great people and their bikes was special ✌️

Did man really say man don't know Fulcrum wheels??? Hopefully man heard about dem Campagnolo's or is man not paid to know dem either?
how did she put her front light this way on her fara bike ?
Did I miss the cervelo from the thumbnail?
He is 2023 silk road mountain race champ? Right
Not Silk Road. He won Tour Divide
@@jonpoon3896 thanks
7:32 does he have his tires the wrong way? 🤔
❤😊😊❤❤😊
Has to be G4X
@6:30 Is he wearing a skinsuit or a birthday suit?
Either way, you should have got him to drop his saddle by an inch or two.
an all white kit in a gravel race. Not a choice I would have made.
They probably didn't think of how the name TRAKA sounds in french. In french it sounds like the word «tracas» which means «problem»🤣🤣
Sorry, but this is so typical french. Thinking the only language people should think of is french.
An all white kit in a gravel race. I would have to say that is brave or crazy.
It certainly got our attention!
10:20 "please keep the tears to a minimum, that'd be great?" wtf was that about..
what a poser, SID Ultimate = basic fork
