Bikes We Noticed at Gravel Worlds: Part 1

Chase Wark’s Lauf Seigla includes a Hed disc wheel.
Last weekend’s Gravel Worlds event featured a stellar field, no-doubt attracted by the $100,000 prize purse that included a $17,500 check to the winner. That provided even more incentive for the riders to pull out all the stops when it came to their bike set ups.
As a fully self-supported race, you’ll notice lots of big bottles on the bikes, along with additional storage areas for gels and other nutrition on most of the bikes.
Here’s a look at four of the pro men’s bikes we saw before the race got rolling on Saturday:

Are they going fast enough to justify using a disc wheel? I thought you had to be around 25 mph or faster for it to make sense.
