@@xxsurlyxx thanks!

@@southpawlibranine3511 I’ll let them know

@@Nicksonabike Thanks Adam is a nut!

Glad I could help!

That was pretty much my regular ride when I owned the bike. It struggles a little when things get real steep or steep and chunky, but its worth it on the descents. Overall I think it's great for that!

I'd definitely recommend it!

@@NICADV a good trip from eastern PA but...self love is not selfish hahaha.

@Hot_dog_jello White Ranch

Thanks

😄not recommended

@@NICADV maybe 20 years ago I would've done it, but my old a$$? Not now😆

🤘

@@blap_mtb thanks!

I mullet feels a bit more sluggish on rolling terrain, but the stiff platform pedals really well and likes jump around the trail.

These bikes you mentioned are super sporty enduro bikes that are terrible free ride bikes.

@ No, you’re wrong. That comment of yours is beyond idiotic.

Yeah, I hope the company continues but all of these prices need to moderate.

@@michaelmann3636 they are both plenty capable but for this move probably the Altitude. The suspension is a bit more active and allows you to shut it down faster.

I think I have another Devinci lined but have gotten crickets from YT and Norco. I'll keep trying.

Nice! That so much bike for the $$.

More edged out. It's still great in the corners, I ranked them all 4 out of 5 but the others were just slightly better and especially the Rocky and Forbidden did better in sweeping chunky corners. I did the same, but at the beginning of the season when they had the yellow Jenson Exclusive builds.

I really want to. Not sure if it will be the AL or CF, but I'm trying.

I did a high pivot comparisons here: th-cam.com/video/0UbyUUZWUi4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cTxxqVVBxY3KNk8m

@ thx a lot！Nice video！

I'd mostly agree and also went Nomad. I've mentioned my apprehension of the added complexity and maintenance of the high pivot bikes, but the Dreadnought V2 has still been problem free. I have a little more time with it, and will touch on living with it in the long term review.

That's actually what I want for my park bike this summer!

@ I bought one right away in the fall. I gotta really good deal but admittedly it was kind of an impulse buy. It’d be really nice if a more experienced rider would give it a bona fide full review, to either validate my purchase or let me know I’m stupid.

@@TanJ197 😂

Oh yeah, I fell down it again just the other day.

🤘what color did you get?

@@NICADV I got the Light Teal w Pink decals, I am not sure if I am going to stick with the pink... It doesn't look as sharp as my 2016 Nomad with the brighter Teal and Hot Pink decals. Actually with the Black and gold Fox 38... I'm thinking a matching gold decal set for the frame and Hope fortus rims would look really sharp with the teal frame

@@chrisfontaine6221 Nice, that's the color I'd probably go with but I love that purple. The light colors photo better but I haven't seen that one in person.

@@NICADV I love the deep purple frames too, The pastel pink with the teal frame looks great but I find the pink clashes with black components, while the teal looks even better against the black fork and rims... almost makes it pop more. I love how the bike rides, and I feel more confident on it for sure, but I'm having troubles keeping up to my old times that I'd get on my 2016 Nomad which I had set up with a mullet and same chainring size, Ha it was 11 spd though so I'm probably just using granny gear on the 12 spd too much lol

@@HarryStewart-m9e gopro12 with the max mod 2.0 and just an iPhone

Thank you, I enjoy seeing what these bikes can really do.

Its definitely a big departure from the old bike, but its pretty good for all out speed and straight line confidence.

@@aidenzhou8168 I didn’t really notice it. I was aware of the complaints so kinda looking for it but it was pretty wet. I’m only 170lbs, but put it down some rough stuff.

@@NICADV I see, thanks for the insight! I know it does have a brace on the seatstay (which the meta v5 non-sx version doesnt have) which should help with the flex.

Thank you, not sure but I'll reach out and see what happens.

@@jaytee839 😉

@@NICADV have you hit "all along the watch tower" yet?

@@Hoshea_Levi Not yet, but I'm heading back out there later this week.

@@NICADV I was out there today and conditions are great, but a little windy. Definitely check that one out, sweet lefthand tech, with some bigger jumps too.

@@blang805 yes, I really want to check that out. They had an experience center near me but it closed down, so still working on it.

@@NICADVright on! Looking for to that and all your other reviews.

@@TheRicardoSanchez Colorado

Thank you!

Thesee were also just on amazing sale as well.

Its definitely a bike I'd like to check out

@@alaindenisrallionsakhno9105 😆👍

@@nicholashines7686 well actually, that review is currently in progress. If you check out today’s Short I’m on it.

@@kellmurphy1344 thank you, I do my best.

@@peterhaworth6859 Thank you, I’ve had trouble getting in touch with some of the UK companies, but I’ll give Orange a shout.

@ yep they seem quite rare in the Canada/US regions. Love to see the chromag lowdown and the Raaw Madonna given your expert treatment.(sorry,I’m self indulging now😂)

@@rat-rq5qv I will definitely reach out, but no promises.

@@NICADV Thank you so much!

@@MrBigGoat on paper they look pretty similar, but in size large they felt very different. The Evil climbed quite a bit better, but descending they were on par mostly the body position felt off because of the fit. The large has a low ish stack and the seattube height/angle put it in a weird spot between my knees. That all made the Evil more confident on steeps add in the delta suspension and it was also more fun on jumps.

@@NICADV That's awesome to hear I was looking for more enduro leaning mullet bike to replace my offering v2 and had a chance to trade with some guy for an insurgent MX. Really love this thing and your reviews helped me a lot. keep up the awesome work mate!

@@MrBigGoat thanks, Have fun out there!

@@jlh530i1 I’m really interested in checking out Raaw and I had some response from Privateer. I didn’t realize it looks like Banshee is now based in CO. I’ll keep inquiring.

Very good, 12/22

oh Yeah!

Thanks, glad you were able to get sorted.

Thanks 🤘
