It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I was starting to eyeball the Priority Current Plus but the price on that bike is a bit steep.
The Glide might be more my speed.

Haven't ridden either of those but I do have a Priority Folder and have become a fan of the belt drive/IGH combo

I've been looking at the priority gravel for a while but there are no local dealers to dona test ride. How does yours handle hills? My commute involves a few

Not particularly well, but it's a folding bike with 20" wheels. It does OK on modest hills, but there are definitely a couple where I just walk it up the hill. For comparison on my 3x7 MTB, I can climb just about any hill in my area and them some without stopping. I suspect a bike with full size wheels and something like an Alfine 11 would do much, much better.

I bought a Priority Continuum with a belt drive and love it! The rear hub is super heavy, so maybe not for a MTB, but maybe a future gravel bike...

Is that the one with the CVT?
