What's the best bike for the Silk Road Mountain Race?

Описание: The Silk Road Mountain Race is a 2000km bikepacking race around Kyrgyzstan. The race is predominately off road taking on high altitude mountain passes and rough tracks as the route winds its way around the country.

In this video I analyse some of the bikes used for the 2023 edition of the race and discuss what the best bike setup is for the race.

For more information about the race check out the race website here:
