I recently bought the wildly popular Walmart Ozark Trail Explorer G.1 Gravel Bike to find out what all the fuss was about. It was also the perfect price for me to get a gravel/cyclocross type bike at $258. This is the flat bar version of this bike and it’s just what a BMXer like myself is looking for. In this video I give a close up look at some of the features of the bike and give it a first ride with lots of commentary and opinions. But long story short, this bike is a beast!!
This is only part one of my review stay tuned for more!
