Heads up. I just glanced at the size chart, and noticed the stack heights of these bikes are extremely low. If you are taller or have long legs, this is going to force you into a very bent-over race bike posture. The X Ambition they sell does not have this issue.

Doesn't say but looks like 9mm QR whereas the Redwood has a thru axle. The drivetrain says "Shimano" but the shifter in the picture is LTWOO brand. I'd be willing to bet the only thing Shimano on that bike is the derailleur. I would take a Microshift drivetrain any day over that setup. Also 2x7, you may like that, you may not. The redwood is a 1x. Seeing as the cassette is a 7 speed, there's an outstanding chance it's a freewheel whereas the Redwood has a freehub. Tapered vs straight headtube. Does the Ozark Trail internal routing for a dropper? I can't tell as there's no mention of it. In fact, not much about the specs or geometry are mentioned. Also that frame seems to only come in medium, and it doesn't seem to actually be available anywhere? Again, no mention of rim size, but likely the rims are a bit less wide than the Redwood's given the stock tire size on each. Comes down to preference, sure, but I don't think the quality difference between the bikes is negligible at all. It may very well be that the Ozark Trail is a better buy for you given your preferences and budget, but I truthfully don't see it being as reliable or durable, given the differences between the two platforms and components. I've bought a Walmart bike in the past that make many of these sacrifices in quality, and upgrading ended up costing a lot more than 500 when all was said and done - and no matter what that bike is forever stuck with a 9mm QR, so it wasn't really a worthwhile investment when I could have just bought into a better platform to begin with. With that said, amazing to be able to buy a gravel bike at either of these price points. What a time to be alive.

Great bike at the $900 price, $500 is a dang steal.

For the people that can't tell the people between this and a walmart bike, they don't know anything about bikes

Beware of toe overlap. The front wheel makes contact with your feet (3 and 9 positions) when you turn the handlebars. it's a known design issue.

There's also the code rw700 that gives a $50 discount on the optional add-on 700c wheels, $200 for a second set of wheels is a good deal. They aren't lightweight though so if you really want a second set for road use you can do better (for more $$$).
I tried with both the bike and wheels in cart and code rw700 didn't work maybe have order separate.

This is very common on XS / S size for Road and Gravel frames where you have to adapt how you ride. 5'10 on Medium I have no issue with this personally.

2 Seperate transactions should work with no cons. Very few websites allow more than 1 promo code to be appleid to cart. Let us know if wheel code works

I would go with the Overdrive 2 at that price, a decent suspension fork and hydraulic brakes will make your rides more enjoyable. But the link you posted shows it's out of stock in all sizes.

I've been looking up the sizing for myself at 5'6" and everything points to XS.

I was on the fence between this and the State 4130 All Road, ultimately went with the State during their Halloween sale and love it. If I was still shopping I'd snatch this up, solid deal (I paid $666).

I bought a Poseidon Slickdeal bike a few years ago. It was a good purchase, that deal was better than this one (some closeout sale) and I had it professionally assembled. I would recommend the brand.
