Gravel vs MTB for Long-Distance Bikepacking: Which is Best for Epic Adventures?
In this video, I dive into the pros and cons of using a gravel bike versus a mountain bike for long-distance bikepacking adventures. Both bikes have their strengths, but which one truly shines when you’re tackling multi-day rides, tough terrain, and carrying gear for the long haul?
I’ll cover important factors like:
Tire clearance: How each bike handles wider tires for more comfort and grip.
Braking options: A comparison of braking systems and what’s best for long-distance, off-road rides.
Geometry: How the geometry of gravel bikes vs MTB affects comfort, control, and handling over extended distances.
Whether you’re prepping for a major event or just curious about which bike suits your adventure style, this breakdown will help you decide which one is right for your next big ride!
