The crew at GCN took a Libre CR DL to the Slab in Bristol to see if it was possible to ride on a non-ebike. Spoiler Alert, it’s not! Luckily they also had Libre EL on hand to show just what an e-gravel bike is capable of.

“If you thought the Scanuppia was steep, then think again! Back in 2018, Chris and Steve from Electric Mountain Bike Network took on the Slab in Bristol, a 100m long monolith of limestone rock with a mind-boggling average gradient of 75%! It’s not a road but we’re sure it must be the world’s steepest climb. But can it be ridden on a mountain bike? Si was up for the challenge!”
