I took a look at the geo on the Jari, it's more relaxed than a racing road bike would be but not too far off the mark of what you'd get with an endurance model, so it seems you picked middle of the road fairly well. For everything you described that you need your bike to do it sounds to me like you picked well. 1. I rode TRP mech discs for 4 years, always hated how hard it was to brake in the hoods (& I have reasonably good grip strength)

I'm wanting to get into biking for both the exercise and the thrill of it. For the most part, I'm not at all concerned with "road cyclist" things like watts and times and weight and aerodynamics. I simply want to ride for both the mental and physical health benefits. 

Having said that, as I continue to research, I'm coming across a bit of buyer's remorse. My bike hasn't arrived yet, but I'm wondering if a road bike would've been able to do everything I want to do with a bike anyways. 

I do want to ride on the road, but as I'm just getting back into biking after a long hiatus, I'll be sticking to trails until I get comfortable on it again. But I've seen that road bikes are still capable of some (very light) off-roading when need be, especially if modified or with the right tires. 

I expect that at least 70% of my riding will be on tarmac, while the other 30% will be a mixture of dirt or gravel trails (mostly because I am limited to what I can bike in my area, and there aren't many off-road trails near me). 

The biggest advantage I like with the gravel bike is that I have nearly every mount attachment possible on it, so it will make trips to the grocery store and the like a breeze, which would be more difficult to do on the road bike. 

I just feel that because I am doing the vast majority of my riding on tarmac, maybe a gravel bike is a bit too "adventure forward" for my needs? I do like having the ability to go off-road if necessary though, and I did go for a gravel bike that leans more towards road geometry than road (Fuji Jari). 

So I do think I've reached a good compromise, but maybe I was just underestimating road bike versatility? What do you guys think?

And in terms of upgrades, I have some real noobie questions:

1. The only thing the Jari didn't have on my checklist was hydraulic brakes. It has disc mechanical brakes. My question is, can I simply upgrade to hydraulic ones at any given time? Or does the frame need to be compatible with it in order to do so? I am very new to the mechanics of bicycles. 

2. Would a suspension seat post and stem (something like the redshift products) be a worthwhile first upgrade? Over the wheels for example. I think it's going to be something I'll want, it seems like it would come in handy for not only off-road, but also when I eventually work my way back up to commuting. 

3. As far as wheels/tires, the Jari comes with 700c, but I always read that it's better to upgrade to a wider tire (650b in this case). Is this going to make a much more noticeable difference in comfort levels? Will I lose speed on tarmac with wider tires? Not that I'm concerned with speed, but when I do get to commuting, the faster the better obviously.

Did I make the correct decision in getting a gravel bike as my one singular "do-it-all" bike over a road? And other questions concerning upgrades (hydraulic brakes, suspension seatpost, wheels)

Not a single puncture in a year, minimal maintenance, and I can run lower pressure, thus making the ride more comfortable. A no-brainer upgrade for me. - The Jari comes both with a 2x and a 1x setup.

 Drivetrain wise, the 1.3 is a one by drivetrain, so that means we're rocking a single ring up front a 40 tooth in fact, and then out back it has the Sram apex one by system. So this apex one by system runs an 11 to 42 tooth gear range in the back operating to that 40 tooth up front, so you get less than a one to one ratio which is good for climbing, but then you have all that range in the back with this one by crankset, operating with a clutch mechanism to help keep things nice and quiet and shifting. that one by system is the Sram Apex shifters

 So this apex one by system runs an 11 to 42 tooth gear range in the back operating to that 40 tooth up front, so you get less than a one to one ratio which is good for climbing, but then you have all that range in the back with this one by crankset, operating with a clutch mechanism to help keep things nice and quiet and shifting. that one by system is the Sram Apex shifters. So these are a double tap shifter which is a pretty neat way to shift. So if you click once, that goes to harder gear, click twice and that goes to an easier gear

3 talk about the frame, the specs on it, as well as find out exactly what it weighs. So if this kind of thing is interesting to you, I suggest you stick around and let's check out this bike together. The Fuji Jari Series is Fuji's take on an inventor ready gravel bike. So this gravel bike has a neutral position so it would be fine to be able to do a performance type event, some light bike packing or touring if that's what you're into

 So here we're rocking Fuji's A6 super butted Aluminum which essentially means that this is a shaped and butted aluminum frame. It runs a tapered steer tube down to this carbon fiber fork, which of course runs through axle. It's also got integrated fender mounts and triplicate mounts to be able to run a bag or bottle on the fork, and then the frame is all internal cable routing with everything running through. Nice and smooth with triple kit mounts on the down tube, double water bottle mounts on the seat tube, and just below where the bottom bracket is is also another mount for a water bottle

Did FUJI nail the "Adventure Gravel" bike?

 For the price this is a very solid buy. It doesn’t have hydraulic disc brakes or top of the line mechanical disc brakes, but it rides smooth on all surfaces and stops well. I’ve taken it on gravel, grass fields, and paved roads with no issues. The wiggle team sent it nearly fully assembled and in great condition

Great Gravel Bike For The Price

 Um, and you're also getting you. You have to be a little bit mindful of stand over clearance and things like that because it is quite a tall bike. It's a big bike. So um, you did mention that it's uh, it's got mounting points and accessories for days

 There's really very little that they could have included that they didn't in terms of mounting points. Uh, let's talk about the wheel set. Yeah, Wilson is a Dt Swiss G 1800 spline. It's a 25 millimeter width

 Yeah, so Fuji said that This is one of the lighter frames gravel frames on the market. So the frame weight is below a kilogram, which is impressively light. The fork weight is around 400 grams which is also quite light. It builds into into this quite handsome looking bike

The Giant Revolt aluminum frame bike is about that price and is a great bike for the money. I think there is a Jamis Renegade in that price range too that is a great bike.

Hi all, I’m looking at getting my first gravel bike. A bit intimidated by all the options. My budget is ~$1200 ideally, but looking to explore my options. Living in Denver and would be used as a commuter but I mostly want it for weekend trips and some bikepacking/touring. Any suggestions or recommendations are appreciated.

Gravel bike

 There's a lot more going on around there, the rear stays which are dropped and much skinnier than before, just a more shapely frame and the result of all the changes. A nip and tuck here and there is a frame and fork on this advanced pro top-level model that is a whopping 200 grams lighter than the old model and a result of that frame weight saving along with a full carbon sub 1400 gram wheels, a Shimano Grx Di2 2 by group set, and a carbon handlebar and stem means that this size Ml without pedals is just over eight kilograms. And the weight that's as light or lighter than some road bikes I reviewed on a channel previously. So grab a bike with big tires and big tire clothes and all the amounts for water bottles and racks that weighs just over eight kilograms

 But while Revolt doesn't have the aero or the suspension or some of those other bikes, it does have a very well designed frame that delivers good compliance thanks to that seat post and handlebar, big tire clearance, all the amounts you need for up to six water bottles and everything else you might want to carry on a multi-day bike packing adventure. And it really is a deeply impressive bike. And in that way, it's an easy bike to recommend. And of course, the value for money with Giant is always strong

 As I said, at one end you have aero speed machines like the 3t Explorer Race Max or Cervelo Espero. At the other end a super capable off-road mounted by Influence bikes like the Bmc, unrestricted, the open wide especially diverge and many Avoc samples. But while Revolt doesn't have the aero or the suspension or some of those other bikes, it does have a very well designed frame that delivers good compliance thanks to that seat post and handlebar, big tire clearance, all the amounts you need for up to six water bottles and everything else you might want to carry on a multi-day bike packing adventure. And it really is a deeply impressive bike

 As we are here, the weight gives a bike and an immediate sense of urgency. It gets up to speed so so quickly and maintains that high speed really easily. And these fast rolling maxis tyres definitely help with the impression of speed as well. and they're a great option for road riding and for dry, smooth gravel like this

NEW Giant Revolt Advanced Pro 2022 review: The best gravel bike you can buy?

Finally got my Giant Revolt tuned after a year of ownership and wanted to share what I find works well (for me) incase it helps anyone else out there. First the sizing: I am 6’0” with slightly longer arms for my height. And about 33” leg inseam. Went with the medium/large 56cm and after a professional bike fit I added 10mm to the stem and that was it

2022 Giant Revolt Advanced Pro 1

 [Applause] At the rear, the combination of skinny stays and the new defused post gives the posterior an almost floaty air. The 8.33 kilo weight sounds somewhat average on paper, but the revolve zero rides like a much much lighter bike. A lot of that is down to the new Cxr wheel set with a weight of 1398 grams a pair

 While it bears more than a passing resemblance to the outgoing bike, at the heart of this revolve is an all-new frame set. The frame details share much of Giant's signature design cues from the road range the triangulated head tube to the junction of the top and down tube because the Tcx Cyclocross bike with a little bit of Tcr thrown in too. You also get the low slung sloping top tube, so it's equally easy to move around on the bike when the going gets technical. At the back, the overly seat tube with its aerostyle cutaway looks very much like the Defy, as do the drop seat stays

 The reach has also been extended out to 397 millimeters from 391 to make the ride position a little racier. Although the stack height has grown by 14 mil, which means I could run the stem on, the Revolt pretty much slammed. [Music] Any thoughts of Shimano bringing the 12-speed semi-wireless updates to Grx or 2022 seem unlikely because The Revolt has the 11 speed Grx Rx 815 throughout. For me, that's a great thing

 When I found out a new Revolt was on the horizon this past winter, I felt a little bit apprehensive about where Giant would be taking the gravel bike that's impressed me in its previous guyses. The 2022 model I've put to the test is the new flagship of the range, with its revamped frame set, new lightweight gravel specific carbon wheel set, and Shimano's criminally underused Grx Di2 in its two by Guys. While it bears more than a passing resemblance to the outgoing bike, at the heart of this revolve is an all-new frame set. The frame details share much of Giant's signature design cues from the road range the triangulated head tube to the junction of the top and down tube because the Tcx Cyclocross bike with a little bit of Tcr thrown in too

WINNER Bike of The Year 2022 | Giant Revolt Advanced Pro 0 Review

For reference, a friend who rides gravel roads in the area rides 42mm and says he wouldn't go below 40mm. The other lead option is a Specialized Diverge Elite E5 (I tried the base E5 and the sport carbon) which would offer wider clearance; however, the drivetrain and specs are not as good and I haven't found one in my area yet. I tried and did not love: Salsa Vaya, Cannondale Topstone, Giant Revolt Advanced. I don't do my own mechanical work, so I am not particularly comfortable with direct-to-consumer options
