No, it's a "hybrid gravel bike"
Trek Madone road bike with flatbar= true flat bar road bike
Specialized Sirrus with hybrid frame and FS= hybrid gravel bike (next step is Crosstrail)
That said, the bike looks like a killer. I want one
only thing thing who's gone is 11*1 gearing setup. Buy the bike in US and cycle it over the border
you dont pay tax on used things right?
We'll always disagree about this, but it doesn't matter
By the way, there is no such thing as a "hybrid gravel bike." So-called 'gravel bikes' are simply what used to be called 'hybrids', being marketed to folks who wouldn't be caught dead riding a 'hybrid' or any bike without drop bars. In other words, gravel bikes are simply drop-bar hybrids.
