if seel is so good, whats's with the carbon fork?

Are Gates Carbon belt drives allowed in gravel races?

Great review . Looking to get a UU750. I’m 50 years old but still love bmx bikes being an 80s kid so can’t wait to get the zooz . Will be great to put in my VW camper too 😊

I gotta get one

what did you do with the bike after the review? Returned it?

Nice setup - steel is right up my alley. I was just looking for framesets. If you know any other good steel "all terrain" bikes or frames, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Nice doin

What did she draw?

Love the color way,all the mounting points and that impressive tire clearance. Great review and “shake out” ride! I’m starting to think about getting a newer geo gravel frame and building up a retro XC mountain bike because the numbers are starting to merge. I’ve seen some smaller frame builders that are doing this already with a flat bar gravel and a mullet drive train. Why not, life is full of possibilities!

2nd season on my Katahdin and still on a honeymoon!! Reactive, stable, robust, fast! Capable of single track trail, and absolutely fun bikepacking! Had the chance to go directly to Panorama's shop to get it and talk with the awesome people over there!! Love this bike! Mine's built on 650b wheels and 47mm wide tires, which I wasn't too sure at first, but I believe it is a more fun bike that way. Don't get me wrong, it is a serious bike!

Hey Tim! Thank you so much for taking the time to ride our Katahdin!

I'm very happy with my Priority Apollo for the price. This looks awesome though in green.

not bad, but not as good as BoodaBike. Disc brake + sliding dropout will never be good toghether. If you have an FM fork use FM brakes not ugly big adapters. For Gravel Alu is a no go. Cromo or carbon.

Review Marin DSX FX please 😊😊

Why did you break off the reflectors?

Hi mate, thanks the video! What sort of climb grades do you do under or over 10%? I'm tossing between this or the new Gemini Pinion 12.

I just bought a used one from a guy he had lyrik ultimate and scarab pedals with a dropper . Paid $1,400 feels solid compared to my old gt

dude you're 5'9"....30inch inseam. so i'm ..5'7"...28"inseam....so would you recommend...A 'Small' Size for me? is THIS PRIORITY just 'Direct purchase'? no bike 'dealers in Canada 'Sell them'?? cheers ...from Toronto..'Area'...

I love the, "real bike guy problems", we've all gone through, being part of the video. There's always a kink in the process. Awesome video.

What is your height sir? I am between sizes. I am 5'7 with 29.5 inseam. I also wanted to get the 52 size / small.

I'd like to know more about your thunder

im gonna have to get one of these for my main commuter daily driver

I have a Sirrus X 4.0 and I love it, off road hybrid, flat bar gravel, whatever, it's great to ride, I came from BMXs and hardtail MTBs, so it makes sense to me

Thank you for the review, sir. Glad to hear this from a local boy. I like to ride at Mount Diablo, is it possible to change the front chain ring on the T1 ST? I would like to make it perhaps 36 teeth instead of 42 teeth.

My mom had a mountain bike from the late 90's early 2000's... I put bar ends in the center that I could ride distance comfortably, kinda like a triathlon setup. It had front suspension, but I always had it locked out. Since then I've had fixed gears, carbon roadies, full suspension XC bikes, etc. But, nothing comes close to the fun I had on my moms old Giant Rincon!!!

It’s 500w peak not 350 peak.

Flatbar gravel bikes are fun. I have 3 actually and 1 of 'em is a Marin Nicasio.

Thanks for the review. How's it holding up now?

I did kind of a similar thing, except I bought the Brilliant L-Train, the now-discontinued version with the 8-speed Alfine hub and disc brakes. Then I put 40mm Goodyear County tires on it. I mainly did that because it was like half the price of the Apollo, but also I wanted a steel frame.

Will this mess up the paint 🎨

Danke fürs video. Endlich fündig geworden damit, schön das man nicht an die schaltbremshebel gebunden ist, wenn man das schaltwerk fürn mtb nutzen möchte.

Great vid. Got the T1 just because I liked the crystal black color. Starting to appreciate the extra tech now though..

whuch thumb shifter did you use?

That looked similar to my old 1999 MTB.

Drop bars on a gravel bike are the biggest mass delusion in the bike world.

yeah, flat bars, add 110mm suspension fork,2.3 tires, deore transmission and finally ideal "gravel" bike😅

Beautiful…Congrats … what are the tube material specs and if you would put on a flat bar; it would be ???

Hey weird question for you. I'm 5'9 with about the same inseam. Can you show how much clearance you have standing over the bike

I am an avid cyclist who rides 100 miles/week both road and trail. I was tired of having to clean and lube my bikes every week and so decided to buy a belt-drive bike - before I saw this video. I bought an Apollo in October 2023 and rode it pretty much exclusively through the winter. The positive is that truly, it has been maintenance free so far and I absolutely love this aspect of the bike. However, there are a few negatives, including: 1) there is noticeable drive train resistance even after drastically reducing the belt tension. I think this is due to the oil-filled gear hub which makes it feel like you are riding a fluid-trainer. The belt on my bike was set so tight by the factory that the bike was almost un-ridable when I first got it. I lowered the tension a lot which helped significantly. 2) I got a flat tire, thankfully near the end of my ride so I was able to ride home. Repairing a flat on this bike is not fun, especially if you are from home when it happens. You will want to go tubeless, get slime-filled tubes, or use an insert - do this BEFORE you get a flat! 3) it is a heavy bike at almost 30lbs. Given the weight and the greater spinning resistance you will not be able to ride as fast as on your chain-drive bike. My rides are about 20% slower than if I am on my carbon road bike. Buyers of this bike will need to watch several videos on how to maintain and adjust it. Not a problem, but riding a belt drive with an internally geared hub is a totally different paradigm than a chain drive. KEY TIP - don't shift while spinning! Don't get me wrong, I have no regrets about buying the Apollo, but I think potential buyers should know what to expect.

Thanks for putting this up. I recently bought this lens and absolutely hate it. It’s worse than the original rx1. Asked an a7iv feel like a 15 year old camera. Awful.

When you first set it up flat bar, I noticed you had the Red Shift stem on it. Any reason why you replaced it when you went drop bar? I have the pro version (just for weight weenie reasons) and kinda love it.

Great review! I ordered the Gravel edition which now has a throttle. I plan to use the throttle for starting from a dead stop. Also got the add on battery. Your review helped me pull the trigger. Decided on the small as well. Like you, I’m 5’9” and prefer a smaller frame.

You think the wabi is worth the price increase over something like the state 4130?

With the velotric T1st when you rode it with out power on did the bike drag or did it feel like a regular bike? Could you adjust the handle bars up or in and out? I hope these questions make sense to you.

I like the belt drive and 33lbs dry weight isn't bad.. If they made it a mid drive, doubled the torque and tripled the range I'd consider buyiing one.

I know you don't have it anymore, but I'm curious, did you go into the app and turn the motor output up? Because if not you could have gotten even more power from it, which is something worth considering.

Don’t know why this type of bike was kept out of the picture for so long. Drop bars completely suck unless you are a hardcore roadie. Any one how disagrees is lying.

Roadster vs Hurricane match up? Or too late for that ….

Very nice. I’m ordering mine soon and my build won’t be too different from yours! Easton finish kit across the board and SRAM 1x but I’m going with Force 1 mechanical. Finished out with some Light Bicycle Falcon Pro wheels. Great build man!

This video is a true reflection of the verstality of Marin bikes. They are strong and they give amazing kick back, springy torque per turn of the pedals! Yes, In my book Marin make excellent innovative springy, animated, lively bicycle frames; that seem to spring forward with every rotation of the pedals. Other experienced Marin users out there, will know and understand what I am saying. (Not too many bicycle brands give you this lively, responsive ride. To be fair, I've had exactly the same superb experience from brands I've owned such as Orange, Cannondale, Specialized and Trek (these are massive World Class brands BTW, so Marin are truly up there and stellar in my book). If you are wondering, I'm 59 years fo age in late March 2024, and been a hardenned mountain biker since the craze went LARGE at age 17. I've owned a total of 9 Marins and the oldest of my current Marins I've had for 27 yrs, and it looks like new! The newest a 2023 Marin Presidio gravel bike and that is an amazing 'aly' raw torgue, responsive machine. Same Frame as the DSX 2, I think. The frames are that good! Thought I would share. Thankyou Tim! You have a really good taste in bicycles Sir. Best wishes, Dr Rob Taylor
