• As much as I myself struggle with the aesthetic aspect of wide gravel bars, the curve guys come at this usually from some angle that, while it might not be for everyone, is probably a genuine need for them at some stage. Jesse and Sarah do these crazy long rides in barren Australian country, and many of the bike packing crowd down here do need to carry more for longer than you would have to in, say, the UK for example. If wide gravel bars disturb you wait til you see the 36 inch gravel bikes they are cooking up at the moment by the looks of it.

  • There's logic to the madness, I am sure. My bet is thay they created them to deal with long corrugated gravel roads, like the stretch that leads up to far north Queensland and stretches of rocky desert like up the Birdsville track.

    That or they just wanted to piss folk off for shits and giggles.
