The get out and have fun bike - Priority Sauce Bike Review - feat. Gates Carbon Belt + Disc Brakes

These days it seems like every new bike has some sort of superlative attached to it such as stiffer road bikes, lighter mountain bikes or more compliant gravel bikes. For the new Priority Sauce we’d describe it as a “funner” bike that doesn’t take itself seriously. Unlike most bikes on the market, the Priority Sauce defies categorization and instead is more of a mish-mash of various features across the spectrum. Priority describes it as a spicy mash-up of old and new - off-road cruise, single-speed gravel grinder, retro mountain bike, bombproof commuter and fun bar bike all combined into a single bike. The Priority Sauce has an attractive $799 retail price and features a low-maintenance Gates Carbon belt drive, hydraulic disc brakes and retro styled aluminum frame. Where the bike specs become unusual is the fact that the Priority Sauce comes with 2.25” tires, internal routing for a dropper post and even has an old school integrated handlebar and stem combination. With Priority’s direct-to-consumer sales model, you simply buy the bike directly from Priority’s website and have it shipped home. You can assemble the bike yourself, take it to a local shop or one of Priority’s recommended service centers to have the bike assembled for you. It’s a straightforward process as the Sauce comes about 90% assembled right out of the box. We’d estimate the total time to take about 30 minutes with much of that time taken up by removing protective covering and cutting zip ties off the bike. The handlebar, pedals, seatpost and front brake caliper are the main components that need to be attached to the bike. We’d recommend starting by attaching the front brake caliper and bolting on the front wheel to allow the bike to sit on its kickstand. The Priority Sauce is a unique bike that combines retro-styling elements with modern components. Visually, the Sauce combines the swoopy frame design of the Priority Coast with mountain bike style 27.5” wheels and commuter style flat bars that are reminiscent of the Priority Ace of Spades. Consistent with the “sauce” theme, the bike is offered in a green Chimichurri color scheme or the silver Cast Iron color we have in this review. Although we would have preferred more spicy color or graphic options than the silver finish, it’s an attractive design with subtle metallic flakes. There are two off-white stripes along the forks and simple Priority branding on the top tube. Unique to the Sauce are the red pepper graphics on the seatpost and a flame graphic on the downtube to add a little style to the bike.... ...
