Ozark Trail G.1 Explorer 700C Drop Bar Gravel Bike, Small 49 cm Frame, Fits Riders 5 ft 1 in - 5 ft 5 in, Green, Adult, Unisex

This is a fun bike. Overall, I actually really love it. My previous bikes have been cruisers, and I was a little nervous about this bike with the drop bars and the middle cross bar. I did a lot of research because I'm only 5'0” and needed a bike that I didn't have to hop over to mount. I got the small frame, btw. I was looking to join my husband in a more serious cycling journey, but didn't want to commit to a road bike. The “medium” Kenda tires on this gravel bike are nice because I can go road, trail, and light gravel. It's a nice cross between mountain and other bikes for sure. I feel safe riding it (with a helmet) and adjusted to the breaks and gears after the second ride. I don't know much about bike stats, but as a beginner I am pleased with my purchase, feel like it was worth the price, and recommend assembling yourself or professionally for optimal set up. Also, the color scheme, I mean come on!

This is a fun starter gravel bike, especially if you use it as a platform to learn how to upgrade bikes, but the info provided is a little inaccurate. The g.1 has two versions: the 1st gen has all L-Twoo/generic gears/controls and a freewheel and the 2nd gen has a shimano tourney rear derailleur, Shimano CS-HG200 7 Speed 12-32T Cassette, and short freehub. You can identify the older model by it only having mounts for one bottle cage and the gear on the rear derailleur is red. The frame may not have “g.1 explorer” on the top of the frame, but it's difficult to find side by side comparisons to the two.
