I was able to tackle that road with a gravel bike (47 mm tires). The weight of the bicycle and the extra luggage was about 22kg. On the way up I had to push the bike around 5 times because the rocks were too big (never more than 2 minutes). It definitely demands a good level of fitness and agility to get over it but is definitely doable. I surely recommend a hardtail bike but a gravel can do the job if you're brave enough. Landscapes were so beautiful it is worth it! The descent was quite steep and sometimes technical aswell.

A great route to avoid the tarmac route to/from Theth. There is about 50km of rough stone road used only by a few locals and the odd tourist. I under-estimated the time it would take to travel this route. Riding a hardtail MTB (with luggage) the terrain was at times very challenging and even travelling downhill progress was at times slow. A MTB is definitely the best choice of bike for this road. You'd get there eventually on a gravel bike but it would be very slow going and not much fun.
