Cross-Country Or Gravel? We Do Battle On The Beach

In this latest episode of Gravel Diaries, Felix and Liam tackle a one-of-a-kind bike race in South Wales! The BikeRadar duo take part in the 2023 Battle on the Beach. It’s a mass-start event that takes in sweeping sands and narrow singletrack. With such varied terrain, the decision on which bike to ride is an important one – mountain or gravel bike? In this video, we see how Felix and Liam get on in the race and look at their chosen steeds. What would they change if they were to do it again? If that isn’t enough, we also speak to some of the other competitors to see what they chose to ride and why. Which bike would you choose for a race such as this?
