THE BEST BIKE FOR A 200KM FLAT MTB RACE!?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Bartje 200, a Dutch classic, 200km of sandy roads and MTB tracks in the Netherlands. Flat as a pancake, but still pretty technical, what could be the ideal bike for this? We test our three top picks and let you know at the end what we'd choose for next time :)
Oh, and we got pretty dirty.

Jelmer saying « fruity » every time he drinks a beer always get me 😂
Me too I knew it LMAO 😂
I like my beers fruity! 😉
Mikey showing mad single track skills...you legend.,!! ✌️
Mikey is a friggen silent assassin with those single-track skills.
Netherlands & Fernwee keep on giving. Ride on and on, team 🤙
Ahh Fruity!!
Great video, you boys are fast and fit!
💪💪🏁🏁🏁
Nice work boys, I particularly enjoyed the guy falling off behind Mikey at 9.55, but maybe that's a bit mean!
Haha its our favourite part as well 🤫
Thanks for this one. Interesting talk at the end of the video. Very helpful for me. Already looking forward to the next one. Greetings from Hamburg.
Fun video great to see the crew chewing up summer 2023 🚴 come ride the Colorado trail
@02:10 lol i made exactly the same 2 years ago but with longer horns and a bit more together ... great for attaching stuff also ..
Thrive sounds fruity💖 Love how you always looked done after a ride, but you have so much fun on the bike… in the video anyway👌😊👍😊
Can’t buy Thrive in the UK, bloody Brexit🤦♂️
Good to see you back at the videos! I must try and find some Thrive to try, the only non alcoholic beer I like so far is Guinness Zero
Ik ben direct geinfluenced: handlebar dingen gekocht!
Great video as always! Where are your glasses from?
Missed you guys!
What is the name of those MTB handlebar clip on things? I would like to get a pair
I am on making my Scott more gravel friendly, considering Vittoria tires you used and was looking for more "aero" grip solution on handlebars for some time as well. Really interested in those "inner" grips you used on your Raven, could you provide more info about them? Thanks!
They’re called ‘Ergomyride’ by CloseTheGap, gamechangers!
@@Fernwee do you set them up a similar width to you road/gravel bike brake hoods?
SQ Labs do some nice carbon ones too…
All are a great addition to flat bar on long rides
You guys should do the Dragon ride in South Wales, Ed did it in 9hrs & 5 min unbelievable effort.
Nice video - I just returned from RATNgx. I took a gravel bike, but wish I had a mtb - by back/shoulders /neck were gone after 200km sandy Rooty gravel
Lots of carrots I bet
Awesome. Looked like a lot of fun.
Great Video as usual! Can you explain what happend to your helmet? ... did it look like that off the shelf?
I tip-exed it!
What cooler is that? I love the colour. Great ride fullas :)
Dometic Patrol, its sooo good
Looks amazing 👊🏼
I'd say his hair looks better, but not amazing.
miss this vibe.
What was the time for 200
Will the Greek race video come anytime soon? :)
At min 2 you show some bar extensions / hoods. What are they? I have been looking for something like that for ages...

how do you like those sram brake ive heard mixed things about them? and are they the normal level ones?
They manage to stop me in time to stay out of trouble
How did the Vitorias roll? Just got the same for my mtb mainly for gravel races.
I liked em!
Coole koelbox, wat is het merk?
Dometic Patrol 🔥
Mikey channelling his inner Charlie Chaplin there. 😂
Waarom reed je eigenlijk in lange mouwen met deze warmte?
Dan hoef ik geen zonnebrand te smeren
👍Greetings from 🚴🇵🇱
Extra points for sheep waiting ;-)
poop advice also great 😂
Hahaha, you were here too??
Partying in the back!
Mario Mike)
'promo sm' 😑
Fruity….
Nice vid, start early next time, so you can stop wining about slower cyclists
Noted!
A shower would be good 🛀🏼
Don't bring a mtb to a gravel race...
Are you guys riding the @helvanharkema this juli the 8th. I am attending the gravel version of that event
Nope, but have fun!
Thank you it is my first gravel event I am going to do it on my triban grvl 120.
