Ha ha. : )) There is a gravel bike forum here on BikeForums. It's basically a road bike with lots of tire clearance and disc brakes, made for riding dirt roads as opposed to singletrack. A Plus bike is a mountain bike with 3" tires. A 3" tire is twice as big as the typical MTB tire. The frame and fork are made to accomodate the larger tire, they won't fit on an ordinary MTB. There are also fatbikes that have 26" wheels and 4 to 5" tires. Plus bikes come in 26, 27.5, and 29" wheels.
