Bike reviews by a veteran journalist. Race videos. Context and stoke. About Ben Delaney: Cycling journalist since 2000, covering races and gear all over the world. I've worn a variety of editorial hats, from reporter to editorial director, at outlets like VeloNews, Cyclingnews, BikeRadar, Cyclingtips, Peloton, Cycling Weekly, Cyclist and others. I've been on the ground covering all the big races: the Tour de France, the Giro d'Italia, the world championships, the Tour of Flanders, etc. I've tested hundreds of bikes, and in recent years I've really been enjoying testing gravel bikes in events like Unbound Gravel, Belgian Waffle Ride, and SBT GRVL. I ride road or gravel just about every day from my home in Boulder, Colorado. Thanks for subscribing! Want to see what and where I'm riding?

Video Description
The new Giant Revolt gravel bike retains many of the characteristics I loved about the original (read: flexy post, Goldilocks geometry, wide model range) and adds a couple new features but not UDH compatibility. I took the bike to the five-day Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder stage race in the Cascade Mountains for a legit test of bike and body. Thanks to Wil Matthews for the thumbnail photo and good cheer. -- Gear I use for shooting (not sponsored!): Hover X1 Self-Flying Drone: https://amzn.to/3V7MUn5 DJI Mini 3 Drone: https://amzn.to/3wK4eVY GoPro Hero Black 11: https://amzn.to/3wK4eVY DJI Action Cam 4: https://amzn.to/3wK4eVY DJI Pocket Osmo 3: https://amzn.to/3wK4eVY Sony Alpha ZV-E10: https://amzn.to/3QUSqHf Sony Alpha a6300: https://amzn.to/3K7jFKK Sony E 50mm F1.8 OSS lens: https://amzn.to/3QNGh6L -- The Ride is supported in 2024 by: Castelli clothing: http://tinyurl.com/43k6pftp Perc Coffee: https://tinyurl.com/etzyekwr (save 15% with code 'ride15') Giro helmets: http://tinyurl.com/72svzzxp Silca maintenance: https://bit.ly/47xxvzj (save 10% with code 'theride') First Endurance nutrition: https://bit.ly/41SDgqq (save 20% with code 'THERIDE') Shimano shoes & glasses: http://tinyurl.com/ye274tep Feedback Sports stands & tools: https://bit.ly/3S9Dq8r -- 0:00 intro 1:36 Oregon Trail 4:20 logistics 6:43 camp rhythm 8:23 big race days 10:56 queen stage 15:19 Revolt & gear review 24:09 Coros Dura 27:20 summary
