I'm very tempted to buy a 2019 Giant Toughroad to go with my full suss Giant Anthem 29er. I'm 6:2ft so should be a "large", now I'm a bit torn between the SLR GX 0 in that beautiful orange (yes I really do like that) and the cheaper SLR GX 1. The GX1 is coming in at £900 and the GX0 at £1350, bearing in mind it will have very occasional use on long routes like NCN 7 and longer Scottish rides. Any feedback greatly apprciated as there's fairly limited information out there on both bikes.

Hi coconut, i've got slr gx0 version, really pleased with it so far(had it about a month now). I was kind of torn between which one to plum for and if i hadn't seen the gx0 priced at £1200 at Edinbrugh bicycle cooperative I would have gone with the gx1 and been happy with it.
Bike rides and handles really nicely, weighs around 10kg in medium size which seems to be the going rate in this price range for gravel bikes. It climbs well, the groupset works fine. Its a really sweet ride, theres nothing I dislike about it.
And its orange 🙂

Funny how people are so subjective over colour. I'd go for the silver one any day!

Handy as it's the cheaper of the two.lol
