Riding the Switchpath Through the Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution

Join Joe as he heads out on the new Stanton Switchpath Gen V, exploring the historic Cromford Canal and High Peak Trail in the heart of Derbyshire. Built from our custom-drawn, heat-treated, triple-butted 4130 steel, the Switchpath blends classic steel ride quality with modern capability. Featuring Gen V dropouts with full UDH and SRAM T-Type compatibility, generous bikepacking mounts, and geometry designed for long days in the saddle, it's a gravel bike built for today's riding without forgetting where it came from. This ride also takes us through the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, passing Arkwright's Mill, Black Rocks, Middleton Top and the historic High Peak Trail. Along the way, Joe shares his thoughts on the bike while taking in some of the history that shaped both the local landscape and modern engineering. If you're interested in gravel riding, steel bikes, British cycling history, or simply fancy joining us for a ride through one of the UK's most iconic landscapes, we hope you enjoy the video. The Stanton Switchpath Gen V is available now. 👇 Find out more: 🌐 https://www.stantonbikes.com Follow Stanton Bikes Instagram:   / stantonbikes   Facebook:   / stantonbikes   #gravelbike #stantonbikes #steelisreal #bikepacking #derbyshire #peakdistrict #gravelcycling #switchpath #madeforadventure
