I was riding MTB’s when they really were a lot less capable than modern gravel bikes so I’ve got some real perspective of the similarities between the two. However, unlike those who can’t see the point of sketchily riding dirt on drop bars, I think that the growth of gravel will play a vital part in the growth of MTB too. In the particular reviving interest in mountain biking most people actually do but the media has largely ignored for several decades.
