[product-block handle="10268488761536-lauf-elja-trail-race-flight-attendant-xo-transmission-mountain-bike-2025-x-large"/]
Why: There's so much to take in. The more you look at this bike, the more unique design you see. I would bet most people didn't realize Lauf made a full suspension MTB, but here it is.

His Pick:
[product-block handle="10240527696064-enve-mog-red-axs-gravel-bike-2025-56cm"/]
Why: The massive Schwalbe's on this Mog are incredible. 2.1" tires take this high performance beast and make it super confident. Best of both worlds.
Ari & Nik
Their Pick:
[product-block handle="10291615432896-mosaic-gt-1-custom-gravel-bike-2021-54cm"/]
Why: We both picked this bike and neither of us would concede and pick anything else. Mosaic is the premium when it comes to ti and this GT-1 flaunts a stunning paint job and a dynamite build kit.

Richard - Catalog Specialist
His Pick:
[product-block handle="8701803823296-specialized-crux-comp-shimano-grx-gravel-bike-2025-54cm"/]
Why: Of course, I'm going to pick a Specialized - they make the best bikes. This Crux is a gravel god and the paint on this bad boy is a little bit spooky.

His Pick:
[product-block handle="10250597531840-standert-kettensage-aluminum-gravel-bike-2022-56cm"/]
Why: Standert makes a dang good handsome looking bike. The German brand is helping establish aluminum and steel bikes as podium worthy performance bikes with aesthetics that'll turn heads. This gravel beast will line up at the biggest gravel races with confidence or just confidently take you on great adventures.

[product-block handle="10284949438656-pivot-trailcat-sl-pro-x0-eagle-transmission-mountain-bike-2026-x-large"/]
Why: I'm a Pivot fan and have been keeping my eye out for the new Trailcat to roll through in my size, unfortunately, this one's a little too big. Maybe it's your size?
