Yeah the Roker is the latest and greatest. It is a very sweet bike. I have no clue why Raleigh stopped making it. I started with the Tamland and it weighed 25 lbs. in a size 56 cm frame. I will fully admit that I was and still am somewhat out of shape. If I was only riding in the Mid West this probably would be a great gravel bike for the money.

Advantages of the Roker
Hydro brakes I will never buy another gravel bike without hydro brakes I luv to climb but still learning to go downhill fast
weighs 20 lbs in a 56 cm
all carbon soaks up the bumps better than Tamland seems to
being 5 lbs lighter it climbs like a dream
Tamland didn't come stock with Clement(now Donnley) xplor MSO tires that were tubeless ready. The Roker came with the same tires but tubeless ready
It is very responsive to almost any type of riding. The bike is a lot more of a bike right now than I am a gravel rider/racer

Things I don't like on the Roker

1x Sram some people seem to like the 1x I don't happen to be one of them. Being a Shimano guy all my life it took me a really long time to just get use to the shifting up and down. On my last ride/race Gray Gray's Gretna ride I was riding with another rider the last 10 miles. Towards the end we were on a rails and trails kind of flat riding. We weren't riding that fast but I was shifting all over the place trying to stay at the same pace he was riding. At my end the bottom 4 gears have too much of a jump in it.

Paint seems to chip pretty easy

Lots of people say why not sale the Roker and get some other kind of 2x bike. Liking the Roker that much that I probably am switching it out to 2x Shimano.
