Using stock footage and reading from the manufacturer pamphlet is not a reliable source and is also outdated. The Long Haul Trucker has not been produced for 2 years. It is the Disc Trucker
This was a bad list. Whoever's in charge of this should get fired. There were a few bikes on this list that are Not recommended for touring. They're for commuting.
My favorite is the Trek 1120. I own a Cannondale road bike and mountain bike. They are really good bikes. The road bike I have owned since 2009. I'll look into a lighter one when I finally start venturing out and solo riding.
Im so confused right now, I haven't rode a bike since secondary school and now I have a 3 yo son and thinking to get fit. I guess I am watching an advanced course right now and should peddle down to basic cycling first. thanks though for this detailed video
If he can't I will. I have been touring, cycling, repairing, and even custom building bikes for years. My favorite tourers are both 26 inch wheeled 'old school' steel frame bikes. I have a SURLY Long Haul Trucker 26 inch, with cantilever brakes. Butterfly bars, upright position, two brake positions with cross top brakes cleverly mounted on the top of the butterfly bars. (I like having dual braking positions) 10 speed Shimano drive train with a 50-38-26 crankset, and an 11-34 cassette. Sunrace 10 speed thumbshifters, which are available in 8-9-10 & 11 speed versions. Just like the original bomb-proof 7 speed shifters of yesteryear. Work perfectly, and they never get mentioned on any touring reviews I've seen. Well made, sturdy, old school easy action thumb shifting. Indestructible and very nice looking too. My other tourer is an old Bridgestone MB-4, steel lugged frame mountain bike from the 90's. Long wheel base, comfy ride. I have drop handlebars with a Scott Aero bar and 7 speed thumbshifters. (Orignal Shimano with over 70,000 miles on them and still working perfectly!) 50-38-26 crankset with a 7 speed 12-30 cassette, normal brake levers and cross top mounted levers for dual positioning braking. (Wish I had them 25 years ago when cycling The Himalaya, across Europe and the Americas) I've had this bike for many happy years of cycle touring. I custom fit old steel frames and build them up into custom touring bikes for friends for a fraction of the cost. A worthwhile thing to do if you have the time and the inclination to do so. I like the easy climbing on a 26 inch bike. I love a full steel frame and would never tour on anything else. If you'd like to see photos of The Bridgestone fully loaded, check out this www.cyclesofatraveler.com. I hope you have some great tours ahead. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. Happy trails!!!
7:42... Mechanical disc brakes" 😆 Who, without any idea/knowledge of bikes, made this crappy video?! - Another channel which UA-cam suggested that I won't watch any further, thanks for showing me you got no clue at all that fast with this video. 🖖🏻 - 'Tout' (🤣it's French, spoken like 'too' !!) Terrain !
Mechanical disc brakes refers to a disc brake that is cable actuated/operated, that makes it easier to repair compared to hydraulic disc brakes. A little less stopping power but it’s enough for touring. And I agree it’s a crappy video!
What's wrong with you? Mechanical disc brake, yes the ones that aren't hydraulic not fluid activated. You sound like quite the expert. Video is still crap though
I can’t imagine dragging some of these boat anchors on a tour. Would take forever. Like driving cross country with a school bus. No thanks. The only steel bike on the list with any performance is the Niner.
I rode across the world for more than 5 years; my bike weight at some point over 150 lbs (you need water to survive in the desert) but somebody like you is telling me that I should have saved 2 pounds on the material the frame of the bike was made of. Excellent. Any other recommendations?
Built for the job is sometimes unfortunately heavy, the bike I use for long loaded touring is very heavy rain but handles heavy loads very well. For short touring, I use a much lighter bike

Highly concur on the Kona Sutra. Took delivery on mine today. Most comfortable bike I've ever owned.
This was a bad list.

Gravel bikes, proud monster gravel cyclist here yeah!!! ❣️🚲😍
Still ride my " Next " bike had it for many years now i love riding my old good bike!! 💖💖💖😊😊
Would be nice to provide the approximate price for each.
Just bought the Kona.
Happy new bike day to you D.C.T.
Well built, solid bike

glad to know about your user experience!

Not sure how useful these generic lists are over a thoughtful contribution by an expert on the category.
Can you review 26 inches wheels touring bike pleas ?
Sure. Thanks for the feedback

What about the belt vs. chain drive?🇨🇦
For the Niner the narrator says "SRAM" and the camera shows Shimano GRX.

Hello, Marin four corners?
is this Breville Die-Cast Citrus Juice Press model 800CPXL ?? this is supposed to be their top of the line and it 's a No No
Rohloff gearhub, belt drivetrain and 2x11 rear deraileur in the same bike? Did I miss something?
Yes, it also has a 3 by 10 and 1 by 12 so you have everything/all in one! 😅
Not a very useful summary.. just reading spec sheets out loud.
27 gears is just too many, IMO.
Aluminum touring bike? Thats stupid
Hi my bike is relgah is tour best for me
Which one was the thumbnail?
The bike in the thumbnail is a custom bike built by Berlin framebuilder called Fern.
@@oxymon100 thanks :)
This product is not white. It's more a sand color
Most of them look too 1970's.
Young women, old wine, vintage bikes
Like us riders.
Better than the fu...ng gravel fashion. 😉
You're just reading the press releases of the manufacturers while showing their stock footage. I doubt you ever rode a bicycle yourself.
Невозможно смотреть. Постоянно реклама.
Super vidéo Merci pour votre aide,
L'Aventure continue, clic sur le smiley.
Useless. What about the wheels? Not important? Read reviews by real cyclists, not this bad advertising
This is bull shit...you dont need an expencive touring bike to enjoy bicycle touring...after 30 000km...I know.
Totally agree with you. What is your bike ?
Agree, bike sellers are capitalizing during this pandemic
$$$$????….
First

Like driving cross country with a school bus. No thanks.

Not everyone is in a hurry.

If they don't have a battery they are pointless.
Thanks for the feedback
