Consumer Reports

The Salsa Journeyman Apex is an affordable and versatile bike that is a great entry-level option for riders just getting into gravel riding. It is the least expensive model we tested, less than half the price of our top-rated models. The Journeyman has a slightly more conservative geometry best suited to more casual riders and is suitable for everything from road and gravel riding to serious bike-packing or touring. The aluminum frame has comfortable ride quality and is equipped with a wealth of rack, fender, and accessory mounts for all of your bike packing needs. The build is very budget-conscious, yet our testers were pleasantly surprised by its performance in the field.
The low price of the Journeyman directly correlates to the heavier weight of this bike. The aluminum frame and budget component specification combine to make this bike the heaviest in the test. Due to its weight and the more conservative geometry, the Journeyman wouldn't be our first choice for racing, although it could certainly get you out and participating in events. We'd also have preferred a tubeless tire setup, but we aren't complaining much at this price point. Beyond that, if you're looking for a reasonably priced and versatile gravel bike, we think the Salsa Journeyman is worth a look.

Best Gravel Bikes of 2022 - GearLab

 I I love them. It works great for pavement, so this has become quote my road bike, where this thing really shines is where it was made for gravel and kind of. Like anything goes, this bike are so confident on gravel, going up gravel, going down gravel, just cruising thick, fresh, gravel, loose, gravel handles it like a champ and then, of course, hero gravel. It just flies

 I wish I had tires like that. I may need to try that and yeah I'm a huge fan of these fast rolling tires now they're, not road slicks, they're, not really skinny road bike tires, but, let's be honest, I'm not racing, I'm just having adventures cruising around. I I love them. It works great for pavement, so this has become quote my road bike, where this thing really shines is where it was made for gravel and kind of

 So yeah super impressed really really love this bike. Okay, now time for the all-terrain reviews, let's start with this pavement business here, so a lot of the trails. I write are paved and there's a lot of roads that are paved. I bought this bike actually to do RAGBRAI and I have done RAGBRAI on and that was all paved and you know if you've ever ridden pavement in Iowa

 I'Ve taken this on Lite single track before and it handles little ruts it handles, rocks just fine. Obviously, I'm not taking this over jumps or technical equipment on mountain bike trails, but you can do light flowy single track on this bike, so the range that this bike is capable of is outstanding. It'S amazing and I really can't believe how well it did on Iowa mountain bike trails, which is pretty easy stuff. If we're honest, I think if I was to make one upgrade for the future, I might look into one of those shock absorbing stems like the redshifts stem

 To compensate, the cockpit has gotten shorter across the board, and you tend to see 80 or 90 millimeter stems across most sizes. All of this means that you are less pitched over the front of the bike. That is the key thing. When you look at the reach figures

 For what it's worth, this bike is built with a two by drivetrain with a 4831 crank set matched with an 11 to 34 cassette. For the type of riding I enjoy and in particular riding here in the southwest of the Uk, a 2 by setup makes a lot of sense, though you will spend the majority of your time in the outer ring and rolling terrain. It's really nice being able to dump down into that little ring when you come to the bottom of a steep climb. If versatility is what you're looking for on a gravel bike, there's no denying that a double setup definitely makes sense

 With a shorter stem but a longer reach, the overall fit of the bike will be largely the same, but when it comes to steeper trend, you are just not quite as far over that front wheel. The slacker head angle also makes a really big difference in rocky terrain where has less of a kind of nervous tendency to jitter around rocks and it just feels more like a sled as you plow through. None of this is new, and none of it should come as a surprise. Mountain bike geometry has been moving this way for years now, and the kind of convergence between gravel and mountain bikes has been a long, long time coming, so I fully expect that again

 As you lean over in, you know, kind of tighter corners, you get this quite unnerving transition between the smooth section and the tread on the outside. Likewise, the tread is also pretty much useless in the wet trails we typically find here in the Uk. There's no shoulder knobs, they're very easy to clog up in mud, and if there's anything approaching off camber, we'll call them thrilling. Now, if I set the bike up tubeless and I played around a little bit more with pressure, I'm sure I'd be more satisfied with them, particularly on harder surfaces

 You are a fool if you buy the black bike. Now there's further details in our original diverge video, and I'm not going to repeat them all here, But as a brief refresher, the geometry of the new diverge was largely inspired by trends in mountain bike geometry. Over the last few years, mountain bikes have on average, gotten longer, slacker, and lower. With reach numbers increasing, head tube angles slackening out, and bottom brackets getting perilously low to the ground, the diverge follows suit and across most sizes, you see a roughly 10 millimeter increase in reach, a slightly slacker head angle in most sizes

2021 Specialized Diverge Review | A Tremendously Capable & Versatile Gravel Bike

On my Specialized Diverge I run Panaracer Gravelking SK, SS, or Slick depending on the ride. For proper gravel rides I'll run the Gravelking SK in a 38, on something like Little Elbow - Big Elbow the Gravelking SK in a 43 is my go to, the SK's definitely roll pretty well on tarmac, but for our roads / pathways early season or jumping on some smooth trail the SS is awesome. I have a few sets of wheels so I'll have a road/gravel set up going and then a gravel/trail set up.

I just got a 2021 Trek Checkpoint ALR5 and plan on using it mostly for road riding along paved roads with some travel on gravel roads in the mountains of western Canada during the summer. As I come from the world of mountain biking, I'm keen on tubeless and I'd like to swap out the stock Bontrager 770c x 40 Gr1 comp tires for something more efficient but still durable. I'd love to hear some recommendations for good-value (no need to break the bank) tires that will perform well on pavement in the extremes of the Canadian mountain environment (often there's loose gravel on pavement, temperatures ranging from 0°C to 35°C).

Best tires for paved and gravel mountain roads

I'd say no - you can buy something just as good or 95% as good for cheaper. Seller doesn't seem like they're in a rush to sell if they started the price at 1500. I'd look in bike shops for entry level gravel/all road bikes Trek Checkpoint/Specialized Diverge and they'd be brand new under 1500.

should i buy this bike for $1100?

 There's no strain on your back and neck, and actually the the extended hoods and the flared bars give you plenty of positions to sort of hold on to when you're getting in. And I've found that I've been able to do some pretty big efforts on this bike on the tarmac and riding back in from the trails. And it's been. It's performed admirably in its current setup, so definitely something that helps with this is that carbon frame

 Now that would be eliminated a little bit with a one by group set, but you have to consider, is that worth it for losing that range if you're riding on road or off-road completely loaded up with bags and for me, it's not really worth it. and you do tend to come to live with the chain slap a little bit. So this isn't the Di2 model, which does mean you get these slightly bigger huds at each end, but actually on-road and off-road they feel really good compared to what you might get on a road bike, and they kind of because of the bike's biggest shape. I feel like they're less noticeable and they give you a really comfortable holding position

 So my way of riding that specific type of riding I do has been a real testing ground for this bike in its current setup. Can it excel at riding on tarmac? And can it excel riding off-road So I'll talk about the road riding side of it first. This is a really, really comfortable bike to do extended bits of road riding on. It's long, so it feels super stable when you're riding along, and it's quite high as well, and it's very easy to sit on the drops and feel quite comfortable

 Now this bike uses Specialized Fact 9r carbon frame, so this is the comp model. It doesn't use that top end 11r, but it's still very good and it's a very it's a stiff frame. It is performance focused. It feels like you can ride it really quickly when you're riding along the road, and it's worked very well for me now

Specialized Diverge Review: The Do-It-All Gravel Bike? | Cycling Weekly

- Specialized Diverge E5 Base (2021). I'm 5ft 11" (182cm) and the deciding factor for me will be which of the two bikes will provide a more comfortable riding position with a slightly more upright posture. It's recommendes i go for the Medium size in the Topstone or the size 56 in the Diverge.
