    Also was it a pain in the ass(literally) to ride on rough surface?

    I wouldn’t really say literally, but it’s definitely a learning curve. I did not expect it to be that technical from the photos I saw beforehand, but it was full of holes and loose sand on some places, and regular ramps of 15%-18%. I could do with an 11-40 instead of the 11-34 it came with rofl.

    Can you explain what makes it gravel bike as opposed to a mountain/off-road bike, or are the terms effectively synonymous?

    it’s like a road bike with wider tires, nothing special - it’s much faster on light gravel and pretty decent on pavement as well.
