The Arkose is a decent bike for the money, it's a little heavy, but the 1x10 hydraulic one is the best to go for.

Don't forget to take it to a decent LBS and get the pad change to a Shimano one and you're all set.

Cheers- it was the 1x10 I test rode. It was nice, bit nippier than I expected. My decision is whether it offers much advantage in ride quality/ over the Roadrat. Was such a while back I rode the Cotic my memories of it are a bit hazy.

Both bike are different, the Roadrat is build as a jack of all trade/master of none, whether the Arkose is a CX bike billed as a gravel grinder.

I'd go for the Arkose, especially with carbon tapered fork.
