$248 Ozark Trail 700C G.1 Explorer Gravel bike from Walmart

Just bought my Ozark G.1 Explorer Today, my 5 month sobriety gift to myself. Gonna get out and see some things, thanks for your review, made purchasing this bike on clearance that much easier, only $77.00

I picked mine up about a week ago. Changed the pedals, removed kickstand, reflectors and added a carbon seat post. Best of all I got my money back due to a program at my job. I like it so far.

I got this bike last week! It's the first bike I ever bought. As a person who is trying to get into casual biking, I love this bike a lot.

Ozark trail actually makes great budget products.

My friend bought one last month and completed the c&o and GAP a total of 407 miles in six days. Bike did awesome no issues.

I bought mine exactly a week ago. Saw some reviews on YouTube, liked the price, found it in the next town. Walked right up to the rack, took it down, rolled it to the self-serve register, completed the purchase and was out of the store in 10 minutes! Agree with all your observations. Shifts smooth as silk - quality of build is amazing. It's exactly what I needed. So far, I love it!

Saw this the other day in store and haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Glad to hear it handles as well as it looks!

Just saw a guy with an old road bike at a coffee shop and recommended this bike, and your video! Great job!

budget bikes are so much better than they were when I first started riding. exciting for new riders!

Been waiting for you to cover this! IMHO it's a great value and represents a new high-water mark for entry-level drop-bar bikes, road OR gravel. Nobody's even close on price, not even Polygon, and we're even in better price territory than pre-panda bike industry. I only see a couple drawbacks. Freewheel is a bit of a disappointment and will limit upgrades; mechanical discs should work okay but will be fussy, those single-piston budget ones always un-align themselves and squeak. In 2017 I bought a very similarly equipped Diamondback through Amazon Warehouse for $350 (2x8 claris, mechanical discs, steel fork) and we've finally got something I can wholeheartedly tell friends and family is an even better "get one and get out there" bike - at Walmart, no less.

Second video review I have seen on this bike. Both said it was a good deal. It looks like a practical bike. It looks like a bike that could give great longevity. Thanks for the review.

After buying the Ridge I had my eyes on this bike right after. It looks like a great gravel bike. I never had a gravel bike. Now that OT made one I want it!

I've never been disappointed with an Ozark Trail product. They just seem to hit that perfect spot between quality and price. I have to admit most of my riding is gravel and pavement where a mountain bike is overkill and a street bike is a bit flimsy.

Just got one yesterday actually haha. I gotta adjust the brakes but excited to ride it!

Glad to see you reviewing a gravel bike. As I get older I find that I ride more and more on bike trails rather than paved roads or mtb trails. I’ve considered buying a bike with down bars but don’t want to spend $1K or more in case I don’t like the layout. So, this might be the perfect bike to try a new biking experience.

I was waiting for this video, think I made it half way through before buying one? Thanks for making some great content 👍👍

This budget gravel bike is really good! The upgradability is insaneeee! I had the similar drive train(ltwoo) and with the threaded freewheel on my budget gravel bike, it lasted me for about 3 years and clocked in about thousands of kms of riding on mostly road terrain. Slowly I upgraded starting form small parts(saddles, clipless peddals, dual piston breaks etc..) until eventually upgraded my whole drive train. Id say with the right upgrade it will become a capable bike to ride ANYHERE! Its a steal!

I've had a lot of bikes since 1974 - when I rode an old Cinelli frame across the Moroccan Sahara. This would make a great touring bike, once you got the stem figured out - or just got lucky. I might have to go to Wally World and have a closer look. Thanks for unwrapping this little gem!

Looking forward to the upgrades,Kev!

I saw this bike at my local Walmart 3 weeks ago and was looking for your video!
