I hadn't seen that one! It's definitely NOT your usual puff piece dressed up like a review! The funny thing is that it complains about a stiff front end and other reviews complain about a too-flexy front end. (Does that mean the truth lies in between?) The other complaints can be easily remedied, if necessary -- gearing and tire sizes. Although the article has a negative tone, I'm not sure the quibbles are very meaningful. I will have to try to ride one for myself. It's pretty shocking that the author considers 50/34 - 11-34T to be too high gearing. (That's the same or lower than practically every other gravel bike on the market. I rode DK easily and successfully on higher gearing than that.) Strange review.
